Job Title: VP Marketing, P+, GSA

Paramount+ is a premium streaming subscription service delivering live sports, breaking news and a Mountain of Entertainment™ to audiences around the world. As a cornerstone of Paramount’s global Direct-to-Consumer business, it sits at the heart of the company’s long-term strategic ambition.

Following the landmark 2025 merger with Skydance, Paramount has entered a bold new chapter. Backed by strong ownership and clear leadership under Chairman and CEO David Ellison, the company is actively accelerating its transformation into a next-generation streaming powerhouse.

Paramount is investing decisively in growth — unifying its global technology platforms across Paramount+ and Pluto TV, expanding premium original programming, securing long-term live sports rights, and strengthening local content production in strategically important markets. The objective is clear: drive subscriber growth, deepen engagement and build sustainable long-term value.

The global reorganisation of the Direct-to-Consumer division reflects this ambition. With faster decision-making, greater integration across content, marketing and technology, and a sharpened focus on performance and profitability, Paramount is positioning its streaming business for long-term leadership in an increasingly competitive market environment.

The company’s portfolio brings together some of the most iconic and culturally influential brands in global entertainment — including Paramount Pictures, CBS, Nickelodeon, MTV, Comedy Central, Showtime®, Paramount+ and Pluto TV — reaching audiences across linear, digital and streaming platforms worldwide.
