Events Manager - Dach

Job Description

Netflix is the world's leading streaming entertainment service with 214 million paid memberships in over 190 countries enjoying TV series, documentaries and feature films across a wide variety of genres and languages. To support this growth, we are looking for an Event Manager for the DACH region (Germany, Austria and Switzerland) who will be based out of our office in Berlin.

The Role

This role will play a key role in strategizing, executing and managing external events as part of the publicity and marketing team. They will be a member of a broader, seasoned group of events professionals, who are based across the local offices in EMEA. This role will be responsible for collaborating on and driving the overall events strategy for DACH and part of a team of two Event Managers for this region.

The goal of the team is to drive conversation around Netflix titles, talent and the brand through curated external events and experiences. The manager will work with the cross functional team that is helping to create, shape, execute and manage campaigns for our content, meaning that they will have to be in sync and show a curiosity about promotional efforts and contribute to building campaigns with new and innovative event ideas. As well as being strategy led, this is also a hands-on role and one that requires end to end project management - that will mean jumping in to lead cross functional project task force groups, managing agency pitches, ideating event creative, overseeing guest communications, formulating budgets, and much more.

They are able to make wise decisions, even when faced with ambiguity and think strategically. This person can articulate what they are, and are not, trying to do. They are a good listener and a real doer. They are organized, thorough and not afraid to get their hands dirty with event tactics yet can couple that with high level strategy and determining if an event is the right solution for a campaign or not.

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 specialty. A good fit in the role has a candid and direct communication style, they are willing to admit to mistakes quickly and then find smart solutions, also questioning actions inconsistent with our values.

Success in the role is someone who can simplify even the most challenging of situations, leaving partners and talent impressed and feeling like their event is in very safe and trusted hands.

Candidate Profile
• Has a minimum of 10 years of experience in an end-to-end events management role, leading strategy through to execution at an agency, entertainment studio, network or with a global brand.
• A deep understanding of the DACH market and entertainment landscape with fluency in German.
• Has vast demonstrable experience of in-person and virtual event production and is curious to continually innovate in this space to take our events to the next level.
• Is a strategic thinker - someone who can garner a deep understanding of a campaign and determine if an event is, or is not, the right approach, set clear KPI's and challenge project ROI. They can articulate what they are - and are not - trying to do and make wise decisions, even when faced with ambiguity.
• This person will be able to operate as part of a varied group of internal stakeholders. Is curious and/or is familiar with working with teams from different regional markets, and is comfortable in collaborating with diverse, geographically-dispersed teams.
• Fluent written and spoken English is a requirement for this role; any other languages are an advantage but are not essential.
• They can formulate and manage a budget, and give visibility into their process successfully.
• Is so highly organised that even Marie Kondo would be proud.
• Thrives in a fast-paced and collaborative environment, comfortable in managing multiple projects concurrently.
• A good fit in this role is someone who has a candid and direct communication style, has a strong POV, and can expertly influence key stakeholders and foster deep relationships across the business.
• Our culture attracts proactive self-starters who exhibit good judgment, innovation, selflessness, courage, impact, candid communication, inclusion, integrity, passion, and curiosity. If the Culture Memo resonates, maybe you're the right person to join the Netflix team.
