Your New Role

This role leads social and digital marketing for Warner Bros. Discovery's streaming business in Japan. It owns the planning, execution and measurement of digital activity that builds awareness for HBO Max and its content slate, drives viewership, and converts interest into subscriptions in one of the most competitive streaming markets in the world.

The scope covers both sides of the streaming equation: our directly owned channels (HBO Max Japan social accounts, franchise channels such as Harry Potter and DC) and streaming partner marketing, where campaigns are planned and executed jointly with our distribution partners. The role owns the end-to-end social and digital marketing strategy, from campaign planning and creative localization through paid digital, influencer activity, reporting and budget management.

The most significant near-term expectation is the social and digital lead on the upcoming launch campaign for the new HBO original Harry Potter series. This will be a large scale 360 campaign for an IP that is a core pillar of WBD and HBO's success in Japan. The role owns the social and digital element of that campaign and is the lead day-to-day point of contact for the appointed agency across planning, approvals and execution.

The role sits within the Japan Integrated Marketing team in Tokyo and works in constant partnership with the Global and APAC social, originals and brand teams.
