About the Role:

This is a newly created regional Awards role with an emphasis on understanding the entertainment landscape across APAC and how Netflix's role regionally can not only strengthen our goals within the region but also impact our global awards ambitions alongside our content growth.

We are seeking someone who is a creative self-starter with experience & understanding of the APAC entertainment industry. They will work closely with the Director, Awards & Talent Relations to manage and execute our awards and festivals strategy across the Asia Pacific region. This will include supporting not only top regional priority titles but also global awards priority titles. Ideally they have experience with executing impactful publicity and/or marketing campaigns for film, series or documentaries. They need to be passionate about the entertainment industry and willing to seek out and learn about the best-in-class talent both behind the scenes and in front of the camera. This is an incredibly diverse and dynamic region that we want to stay ahead of.

• A direct and candid communication style to articulate clearly what you are - and are not - trying to do.
• Not be defined by past experiences and able to put a new, creative spin on what a campaign can be.
• Organized, thorough and not afraid to get your hands dirty.
• Eager to learn and yet, also be able to contribute effectively outside of your specialty.

The Work:
• Maintain alignment on local and regional awards and festival strategy with publicity, content and marketing teams in the APAC region.
• Work within the global awards team to implement strategies across APAC film festival programming for Netflix titles.
• Start to develop an APAC Awards press strategy - identifying primary individuals and outlets that write extensively about awards and can lend legitimacy to our regional efforts.
• Design on and off-season talent relations engagement strategy to elevate networking efforts across creative, industry and press communities.
• Effectively determine ways in which we can engage with the members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and other guild and industry associations in the region.
• Execute and manage awards campaigns and explore new tactics of promoting our films, series and documentaries.
• Maintain and manage a budget, and give clear visibility into the process.
• Potentially talent handler at events and festivals.
• Responsible for managing external consultants with the Director, Awards & Talent Relations.
• Handle submission paperwork for different awards and event logistics including planning and organizing screening events.

The successful candidate will likely have:
• Minimum of 5+ years in entertainment with related experience organizing, planning, executing awards campaigns and submissions, and/or agency, studio or broadcast network;
• Related experience in film festival activity, industry events with a keen understanding of the global entertainment industry. Knowledge of awards voter membership is a bonus.
