If yes, we are looking for you to join other stunning colleagues here at Netflix who share a passion to continue to build an expertise in streamed content accounting and to be the first Content Accounting team member based in Amsterdam.

This role provides you the chance to be a leader on a team that is committed to transforming and redefining the perception of what entertainment is around the world and how it can be enjoyed through the Netflix service. With continued investment in a slate of content including original productions, content licensing and worldwide expansion, it's a great time for you to join Netflix.

Responsibilities:

• Maintain cross-functional relationships with teams in our various EMEA offices, including the content finance/international finance, tax, legal and acquisition organizations. This will be across content verticals as well as studio teams.
• Assist the Los Angeles based accounting team members in ensuring the financial integrity of the company's content commitments, assets (capitalization), liabilities (payments), and expenses (amortization).
• Oversee the accounting of content and content-related contracts for our licensed and owned titles coming out of our EMEA region.

• You have strong communication skills (both written and oral) and are viewed as a strong cross-functional business partner.

• You have keen judgment, make sound independent decisions, and know how to listen to others, prioritize issues and when to escalate matters.
• You are comfortable with analyzing data to make informed conclusions. You are curious and deeply invested in learning about things beyond your own area of responsibility.
