Job Description

Coordinator/Project Manager, Production Technology & Operations (UK)

Netflix is the leading provider of streaming video, and a lot of it is original content: features, shorts, series, documentaries, comedy specials and unscripted series.

Across all types of projects, the Netflix Studio aims to lead the market in Operational Excellence for our productions and teams. We seek to provide a better studio experience for external talent and believe this enables creative excellence. The Production Technology & Operations (PT&O) team shepherds this effort by collaborating with cross functional teams, productions and talent in order to empower external partners and right-size the level of support we provide while also improving their experience of working with Netflix. We provide subject matter expertise wherever creativity meets technology and workflow, from development through to final delivery and onto the Netflix service. The team also plays a leading role in developing and shaping our internal tooling that helps drives our efficiency at scale.

As part of the Netflix PT&O team, the coordinator aims to pave the road for the rest of the team to do their work more efficiently and effectively. While the Technologists and Specialists on the team offer their direct support to production crews, as well as internal and external post and production management teams, the coordinator works to streamline and maintain team communication and alignment. The coordinator helps to track new standards and tools, develop team initiatives and, as the central point of communication, is fully aware of each team member's whereabouts and challenges so that work gets finished, published and broadcast in time.
