Full Time Job
Netflix is looking for a Manager of Talent Relations to join our expanding department and build the ultimate talent experience for our actor, directors, and producers as well as serve as an internal educator for Netflix teams. From David Fincher's MINDHUNTER to stand-up icon Dave Chappelle, to David Ayer and Will Smith's Bright to Bryan Fogel's Icarus, we are looking for someone who has experience working with talent, rapidly consumes entertainment, and is passionate and curious about the growing global entertainment landscape. This person should be excited to grow Netflix into the best place for talent to work in our industry.
The Opportunity
Fueled by the broad appeal of being able to instantly enjoy unlimited movies and TV shows, Netflix has grown to have over 117 million streaming members in over 190 countries. This is a great opportunity to join a team that is building the largest Internet entertainment service in the world, with a chance to work with the brightest filmmakers and actors around the world, using the latest technology.
The Role
As a member of a seasoned group of professionals based in the Hollywood office, the Manager of Talent Relations will play a key role in building the programs and communication vehicles when it comes to ensuring our actors, directors, and producers are informed and engaged. We want to be the premier entertainment industry destination for talent and as such, this person will work closely with our colleagues across content, marketing and communications, across all content programming genres, to establish best practices and innovate how we work with talent and their representatives. As one of the first points of contact for talent and their reps within Netflix, this role will act as a brand and business ambassador, helping to ensure our talent become part of the fabric of their shows, films, and promotional efforts. She/he will also be responsible for establishing tools and resources and a standard of excellence across the organization for how we work with talent.
The ideal candidate exhibits consistent sound judgement and maturity in business communications and decision making, even when faced with ambiguity. He or she is polished, personable, a heightened listener, a real doer, adept at reading a room, and is able to multi-task and work efficiently, independently and with speed. They are not afraid to get their hands dirty - and that could mean jumping in to handle tasks that range from writing a strategy, creating lists, coordinating gifts, booking travel, or negotiating hair and make-up. They collaborate well with partners that range from content/programming 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 speciality. They aren't timid about assessing their work when they are done to explore what they could have done differently or better. A good fit in the role has a candid and direct communication style. They are willing to admit to mistakes quickly and question values inconsistent with our values and Netflix culture. They understand that sometimes the job requires delivering bad news, and they're tactful in handling such issues. Talent relations is not a 9 to 5 job and will require willingness to work evenings and on weekend. International travel also required.
Qualifications
The successful candidate will have at least 7 years of entertainment experience in an agency, studio, network, production or journalism setting. They have worked directly and successfully with talent have relationships with talent representatives. The ideal candidate is high energy, motivated with strong relationship-building capabilities and a capacity to work in a very fast-paced environment. BA/BS required.
To succeed at Netflix, the candidate must also possess the following characteristics:
Creative
Demonstrated ability to think innovatively-connecting the dots when others cannot. Able to make the leap from information to insight. Able to identify, nurture and help refine compelling creative ideas and concepts.
Succinct Communicator
Great writer and clear talker. Can organize, summarize, clarify and communicate ideas simply, succinctly and accurately. Has a quick intelligence, is fast on the feet and quickly responds to issues and questions. Says it like it is; not wrapped in political niceties.

Has a big capacity to both think and 'do'. Flourishes in a 'hands on' role, adding value at different levels. Is strong on detail and highly organized.
A smart minimalist
Keeps things simple. Knows that global communications can be made complex---and will resist and prevent that.
Has a Point of View
An independent thinker willing and able to express and support a point of view.
Pace

An Adult
Is a mature, fully-formed adult with a happy, well balanced life. Is motivated by what is best for Netflix.
COMPENSATION
