The Opportunity
Fueled by the broad appeal of being able to instantly enjoy unlimited movies and TV shows, Netflix has grown to have over 125 million streaming members across the globe. With our continued international expansion and expanding slate of original content, it's a great time to join the Netflix team.
The Role
The Originals Publicity Director of Europe will work as part of the EMEA Originals Publicity team, specifically managing our local European country teams. As such, they will spend time in both our Amsterdam & London offices.
The position requires considerable leadership skills. In addition to partnering with cross-functional leaders across the European business, the successful candidate will specifically focus on providing context & guidance to other senior European publicity leaders around broad topics such as hiring, prioritisation, pan-regional strategy, cross-functional dynamics & crisis management. They will apply high-level business context to enable their leaders to make sound decisions independently.
The ideal candidate will have a strong work ethic and understand the market. They are unafraid to challenge prevailing assumptions when warranted. They will proactively identify & implement better approaches; even if that involves a tough decision. If a new approach is controversial, they inherently understand which key stakeholders to consult & are unafraid to move forward without agonizing, clearly articulating their reasoning with candor. They are scrappy, unafraid to jump in and handle tasks at all levels and they thrive in an environment void of bureaucracy and layers.
The day to day responsibilities will include, but are not limited to day to day management of the European publicity leadership team (covering the UK, France, Italy, Germany, CEE, Spain & Northern Europe), partnering with other cross-functional leaders across the business to formulate & implement business strategy, implementing global business messaging across the team's work, guiding (and sometimes directly handling) high-level conversations with global showrunners / producers with regard to our holistic European press strategy, hiring & structuring the publicity team across Europe.
The role will report into the VP of Originals Publicity, EMEA.
