Job Posting Title Brand Manager – Digital Content & Channels (Europe) The challenge An exciting opportunity has arisen to contribute to Haier Europe.

We are looking for someone who embodies the Company’s core behaviors, based on our Own It model : Zero Distance, Agility, Entrepreneurship, Ecosystem and Build Trust. A true change agent who acts with integrity, collaborates across boundaries, adapts quickly, takes initiative and keeps users at the center — fostering an open, innovative, and high-performing environment. What you will do We're looking for a Brand Manager to coordinate the execution and evolution of our consumer brand strategy across Europe, making sure brand messages are built to perform in a contemporary, digital and media-driven ecosystem.

You own the content end to end, in partnership with our Chinese HQ, including influencer partnerships and the activation of brand ambassadors (chef ambassadors included). * Lead our creative agencies and production partners: brief, challenge, steer, land the work on time and on standard. * Be close to countries, to plan content production against real demand. You gather local markets' media plans, read them, and make sure we only produce what the plan actually needs. * Own the digital media conversation together with content conversation with European markets. Review and challenge media plans built locally offering expertise, suggestions and focusing on new media and content usage. Be involved in the management of the media agencies. Day-to-day planning and buying stay with the countries. * Use data, insights and performance metrics — including ROI and A/B testing — to sharpen brand impact and content effectiveness. * Partner with the Customer Insights, Sponsorship and Digital Experience Platform teams, the Product Lines, Global HQ and the local Markets, so brand execution lands consistently on every touchpoint. * Lead, coach and develop the Brand Specialist(s) in your team. What you need to succeed * At least six years in brand management / marketing / digital marketing management roles, with proven ownership of content end to end, primarily digital content, and hands-on experience leading multiple agencies. * Media and social media planning background - you can build a plan, allocate media budget and defend a strategic rationale. This can come from a media agency, a consultancy or an in-house team. (Direct buying, performance buying and hands-on management of self-service platforms are not part of this position). * A genuinely digital-first way of working: you know the channels, and you build for them rather than retrofitting * Hands-on, daily use of AI in content and marketing workflows (e.g. ideation, production, localization), with awareness of responsible-use and disclosure requirements for AI-generated content (e.g. EU AI Act). * The ability to read data and turn consumer insight into content decisions * Direct experience managing and growing at least one junior team member * Collaborative, cross-functional attitude is key to succeed in this role * Fluent English, written and spoken is mandatory for the position.
