Reporting to the Director of Public Policy, UK and Ireland, the role is strategically important to building on the company's success in a fast-changing, highly competitive global landscape.

• Develop and maintain relationships with Parliamentarians and stakeholders across industry, civil society and the nations and regions to increase awareness about Netflix's activities and build support for our policy positions
• Devise and execute a broad array of initiatives and campaigns to engage policy and industry stakeholders, including set visits, screenings and other initiatives and events, working in close collaboration with the EMEA public affairs function and local PR team

The ideal candidate will have:
• 8+ years' experience in the tech, entertainment or media sector, with a deep understanding of and curiosity about our industry
• Knowledge of the UK and Irish political systems, environment and institutions, as well as the cultural landscape
• Established networks across Parliament and beyond, and a strong appetite for external engagement
• The ability to work cross-functionally and collaborate with multiple teams
• A track record of successfully executing projects and campaigns
• Excellent judgement and the confidence to work autonomously in a fast-paced, high-growth environment
• Ability to think, plan, and execute resourcefully and creatively
• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills

The role will require periodic travel to other European and international locations.
