#WeAreParamount on a mission to unleash the power of content… you in?
We’ve got the brands, we’ve got the stars, we’ve got the power to achieve our mission to entertain the planet – now all we’re missing is… YOU! Becoming a part of Paramount means joining a team of passionate people who not only recognize the power of content but also enjoy a touch of fun and uniqueness. Together, we co-create moments that matter – both for our audiences and our employees – and aim to leave a positive mark on culture.

Is this the role for you?

This role offers the chance to work across iconic brands and collaborate with international partners.  You’ll support the development of consumer products across categories including gifting, party, collectables, social expressions and seasonal, from early concept through to production.

What will you be doing?

• Manage product approvals across multiple categories, from concept through to production.

• Build effective working relationships with internal teams and external partners to support feasibility, timelines and shared goals.
• Partner with business and retail teams to create tailored design pitches aligned to customer needs and strategic priorities.
• Research, develop and deliver original creative work where needed, including identifying gaps in available brand assets.
• Create tools and guidance that improve product development ways of working (for example training materials and brand “101” documents) to support regional needs.
• Work closely with Account Managers and the BALA team to ensure product development aligns with contractual terms.
• Keep up to date with creative, retail and product trends, and spot potential new categories and opportunities.
• Research consumer and competitor trends to inform design direction, highlight regional insights and identify gaps.
• Coordinate samples and best-in-class references for trade shows, partner meetings and marketing/PR.
• Contribute a creative viewpoint in key meetings, including retail meetings and partner days.

What are we looking for?

• A qualification in design, product development or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• Experience working in product development; experience in a licensing environment is a plus.
• Working knowledge of licensing, including contracts and agreements.
• Strong skills in Adobe Creative Suite (especially Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign).
• Comfortable using Microsoft Office (Excel, Word and PowerPoint).
• Clear communication skills in writing and in conversation, with the ability to give and receive feedback.

• Design experience in children’s products.
• Experience partnering with retailers or working in retail-facing design.
