Netflix
Events Manager - EMEA (Fixed Term Contract)
The Opportunity
It’s an exciting time to join Netflix as we continue shaping the future of global entertainment. With over 222 million streaming members in over 190 countries, we’ve learnt that great stories are universal - they can be made anywhere and loved everywhere.
We are looking for an experienced events manager to join our pan-regional events team until the end of December 2022, to manage consumer and press facing events with our PR and Marketing teams across Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA). As a key member of the events team, you will have the opportunity to strategise, plan and execute high profile virtual and physical events to launch series, films and documentaries from the brightest filmmakers and actors in the industry.
This role can be based in either our London office or Amsterdam HQ with travel for events as required within the region.
The Role
You will work within the Pan-EMEA Events team, a lean group of seasoned event professionals who manage local market events as well as leading efforts on large scale pan-regional or global events.
The goal of the team is to drive conversation around Netflix titles, talent and the brand through curated events and experiences. You will work with the cross functional team that is helping to create, shape, execute and manage campaigns for our content, meaning that they will have to be in sync and show a curiosity about promotional efforts and contribute to building campaigns with new and innovative events ideas. As well as being strategy led, this is also a hands-on role and one that requires end to end project management - that will mean jumping in to lead cross-functional project taskforce groups, managing agency pitches, ideating creative show flow, overseeing guest communications, formulating budgets, and much more.

- This person will be able to operate as part of a varied group of internal stakeholders. Is curious and/or is familiar with working with teams from different regional markets, and is comfortable in collaborating with diverse, geographically-dispersed teams.
