Social Media Manager

Job Description

Social Media Manager (Thailand), HBO Max Asia

If someone asks ''What house are you?'' Do you think, ''Hogwarts, Westeros or Dune?'' Do you have an FYP full of TV and movie memes? Are you bursting to talk to about the latest episode of the White Lotus or debate the merits of the Oscar winners at lunch? Are you guilty of – occasionally – starting another new show right before bed?
And are you a creative leader who asks themselves – will this idea drive a headline? Do you live to make breakthrough, fan-driven ideas that will resonate within Thailand? Do you have a track record of creating viral, high-impact campaigns that get fans talking? Are you happiest sitting at the intersection of entertainment, marketing, and social media culture? If so, this may be an opportunity for you to make a huge mark.
WBD is looking for a Social Media Lead (Thailand) for HBO Max and WBD Brands in Asia Pacific. In this role, you'll set the creative strategy and lead the execution of innovative social media campaigns that build fandom, cultural relevance, and audience engagement for the streaming business in Thailand.
