About the role

The Social Media Manager EMEA will also work in collaboration with the Audience Development team, which is responsible for one of the entertainment industry's largest social media networks, with over 130 million followers worldwide across every major platform with continued growth far beyond industry standards. 

The Social Media Manager EMEA will help to create authentic and compelling social content for our social media community in EMEA -- this includes content tailored to market goals, as well as translated content from English-based campaigns (images, video, etc.). 

Candidates must be fluent in English and French, and comfortable with both written and spoken business communications.

We expect the person in this role to be passionate about anime, fandom communities, the anime industry, and have a good knowledge of the environment and players. We are looking for someone who is highly motivated, creative, and excited to engage a passionate fan base.

This role will be responsible for overseeing day-to-day editorial, community and marketing management on social channels and title promotions to promote off-platform audience growth and engagement. This is a cross-functional role where you will work with departments such as brand management, editorial programming, public relations, and more to deliver positive business outcomes, though not at the expense of maintaining a strong and meaningful relationship with the audience.
