Job Summary

Own end-to-end communications for Netflix franchises from strategy to execution, driving proactive and reactive media relations, slate storytelling, and cross-functional collaboration with creators and executives.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Strategic Leadership: Drive end-to-end communications strategy from development through launch and beyond, managing messaging, campaigns, and issues management.
  • Hands-On Media Relations: Personally pitch and secure coverage across trade, business, and entertainment media. Leverage an existing, deep network of press relationships to shape narratives from day one.
  • Slate Storytelling: Develop horizontal, multi-title narratives (e.g., genre trends, franchise milestones, industry impact) that connect individual titles to broader cultural conversations about Netflix.
  • Creative Campaigning: Craft compelling brand narratives and pitches that help titles cut through the cultural noise; identify non-traditional story angles via social, fandom, and cultural moments.
  • Cross-Functional Partnership: Partner with creative executives, production, marketing, and legal teams to shape long-term strategy and provide expert counsel.
  • Risk Mitigation: Identify and manage brand and communications risks, including sensitive reactive situations (cancellations, HR issues, controversial content), with sound judgment under pressure.
  • Executive & Talent Management: Secure and coordinate executive, creator, and talent interviews, press tours, panels, and speaking opportunities.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of experience in communications at an agency, studio, or network, ideally within entertainment or media.
  • Proven track record leading proactive and reactive communications strategy for scripted television, film, or comparable premium content.
  • Demonstrated success building multi-title, “slate” or franchise-level narratives — not just single-title campaigns — that tie to broader cultural, economic, or industry storylines.
  • Deep, established, and active relationships across trade, business, entertainment, consumer, and new, emerging media. A proven, personal track record of pitching, securing, and shaping press coverage.
  • Skilled storyteller who can distill complex or sensitive situations into clear, compelling narratives and effective press pitches.
  • Sound judgment on brand and communications risk; steady under pressure and comfortable navigating ambiguity.
  • Strong cross-functional collaborator who partners well with creative, legal, marketing, and publicity teams.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, meticulous organization, and the ability to manage a high volume of complex, concurrent projects.
  • A curious, ambitious self-starter with a genuine point of view on what defines culture.

Benefits

  • Netflix provides comprehensive benefits including Health Plans, Mental Health support, a 401(k) Retirement Plan with employer match, Stock Option Program, Disability Programs, Health Savings and Flexible Spending Accounts, Family-forming benefits, and Life and Serious Injury Benefits. We also offer paid leave of absence programs. Full-time hourly employees accrue 35 days annually for paid time off to be used for vacation, holidays, and sick paid time off.
