The Role
The Director, Originals Publicity is a strong and collaborative, senior leader who has a publicity background, so they understand the overall team's work and will spend time guiding four growing verticals on the team (visual communication, events, slate activities, talent relations), that work closely and integrated across the rest of the publicity team.
They will guide an established team of professionals in these four disciplines and will be a member of a seasoned group of professionals based in the Hollywood office.
The ideal candidate is able to make wise decisions, even when faced with ambiguity and thinks strategically. He/she is not defined by past experiences and eager to put a new spin on their work. (This is real important to us and it should be very important to you!) They can articulate what they are - and are not - trying to do. He or she is a good listener and a real doer, and is able to multi-task and work at a clip pace. They are not afraid to get their hands dirty. They collaborate well with partners that range from content to marketing to social to product and beyond. Strong candidates can handle a vast amount of work and they are eager to learn. They are curious and also contribute effectively outside of their specialty. A good fit in the role has a candid and direct communication style, they are willing to admit to mistakes quickly and questions values inconsistent with our values and Netflix culture. They understand that sometimes the job requires delivering bad news, and they're tactful and not intimidated in handling such issues.
The four verticals they will oversee encompass the following:
• Visual Communications -- team that supports publicity campaigns driven by creative materials -- photography, featurettes, clips, etc.
• Slate Activities -- team that supports publicity team across film festivals, premieres, conventions and junkets.
• Events -- team strategizes, executes and manages events for series, film and docs teams.
• Talent Relations -- team responsible for supporting and guiding communication between different internal departments, as it relates to talent (actors, producers, etc.), including travel.
