At Netflix, events are valued as an important tactic in our campaigns and the goal of the team is to drive conversation around Netflix titles, talent and the brand, through curated events and experiences. We work with a variety of stakeholders to form a cross functional team that collectively strategize, create, shape, and execute these events, from conception through to delivery. It is end to end project management and also a hands-on role - 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.
The role will be based in the London office and will work alongside a seasoned group of events professionals who are situated across the Netflix offices in EMEA. Projects may take place anywhere in EMEA (Europe, Middle East or Africa) and travel to the destinations of the events is required.
