The Role
The communications team at Netflix is hiring a Specialist to support our Ads, Partnerships, and Marketing organizations and help drive compelling external narratives about our business.
We introduced our Ads plan on Netflix nearly two years ago to 1) provide consumers with a lower-cost option, and 2) help drive revenue for the business.

This position will help tell the story of our advertising business externally and how Netflix partners with brands across the service.
Our ideal candidate will be a strategic thinker, a strong communicator, and a relationship builder, who can be a trusted partner and adviser to teams across multiple disciplines.

They will also streamline Netflix’s internal and external B2B narrative across materials, and serve as a strong press representative for Netflix’s business.
Key to this role is being creative and proactive, making wise decisions, and exercising sound judgment even when faced with ambiguity. Additionally, the role requires a collaborative team player who is resourceful, optimistic, and solution-oriented.
