The Opportunity 

Our business — the stories we help tell, the audiences we entertain, the talent we invest in — is as much a story as the entertainment we bring to audiences around the world.

If that sounds like you, we have an opportunity on our growing communications team.

The Role

  • Build and manage executive engagement programs for senior leadership, including speaking engagements and media opportunities across traditional and new media, to help establish our executives as thought leaders in the industry.

  • Proactively identify, map, and pre-empt issues that protect the Netflix brand.

  • Write and shape key corporate communications materials, including executive talking points, statements, and briefing documents.

  • Manage and maintain relationships with business, financial, and trade media, as well as key industry opinion formers.

  • Confidence in speaking with journalists and serving as an external spokesperson for the company.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in communications at a high-profile technology or entertainment company; financial communications agency experience is a plus.

  • Demonstrated experience managing crisis or issues communications, including situations involving litigation or other sensitive corporate matters.

  • Skilled storyteller who can craft narratives and boil down complex financial, legal, or business concepts into clear, compelling messaging for media and executives.

  • Experience building or supporting executive visibility programs — speaking engagements, bylines, podcasts, or other new media formats — for senior leaders.

  • Comfortable working cross-functionally with various stakeholders, with the judgment to know when and how to escalate.

  • Strong track record of managing a high volume of complex, sensitive projects with sound judgment and discretion.

  • Clear, concise communicator, written and verbal, who is able to convey complex ideas simply.

  • Meticulous organizational skills and able to effectively time management under pressure.
