Job Description
The Team You'll be Joining: Photo & AV Studio

The Photo & AV Studio team has the enviable position of straddling two worlds in the entertainment industry: photo & AV asset creation & global communication strategy. We specialise in capturing and creating photo & video assets that shape, enhance and support our publicity campaigns for our Netflix Original content including series, films, and documentaries.

Simply put, we produce the content that compels people to watch our shows through earned media!

The Role

What photos will ensure a magazine spread? What video will get audiences and publishers excited about a new show? How do we make a talking head interview visually pop? How can we be smart and tell different stories across different countries through visual assets. These are just some of the opportunities you'll be delivering in this role.

We are seeking a strategic individual to lead publicity campaigns, driven by A/V materials, for Netflix titles - photography, videos, the next big thing. Our content stands out and makes an impact on the industry and consumers alike, compelling them to watch Netflix content.

The role requires a high level of creativity, an inquisitive, innovative and self motivated personality, and a succinct communicator with a strong project management background. Being a team player with a positive attitude and willingness to be flexible and get the job done is essential, as is the ability to strategically plan and execute multiple projects simultaneously.

You'll be working with TV/film productions, talent, filmmakers and publicity events as part of the Netflix PR team in the META region. Building relationships as well as working autonomously in a fast paced environment will be key to success.

We don't focus on job titles at Netflix but hire outstanding high performers who act responsibly on the resources and freedom they are given to do their work. The ideal candidate will use sound judgement to make wise decisions, think strategically and drive their colleagues to do the same. Read our culture memo to learn more.
