Editorial Manager, Social Platforms

Job Description

With hundreds of original TV shows, films, documentaries, and more produced for all kinds of tastes and all kinds of moods, we need our owned social channels to promote Netflix in more ways, talking about more titles, to more people in more places than ever before.

The team

You will be part of a team of storytellers, editors, producers, and writers who are huge fans of entertainment. Our mission is to build the most influential entertainment media and publishing network that brings joy to Netflix fans all around the world.

We want to make content that is as entertaining off Netflix as it is on Netflix. To make content that brings communities together over shared passions. Content that helps our fans discover new shows, movies, and talent, or fall more deeply in love with something they've already seen.

The role

In this position, you will be leading Netflix social handles in our DACH markets (Austria, Germany, and Switzerland), including but not limited to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube, as well as the responsible for collateral projects (i.e. podcasts or messengers).

We are looking for a seasoned manager capable of balancing what our community wants to talk about with what our business needs. Equal parts brand strategy, audience development, platform, and content strategy, we need someone who can help us find the right people and talk to them in the right way about the right things in the right places.

While we value being hands-on and love people who can fire off the perfect tweet, this is not a community management role. This is a strategic position that will be mostly responsible for directing a team of best-in-class writers and creatives on both short and long lead projects.
