About this role

At Netflix, our mission is to entertain the world. Together, we are writing the next episode - pushing the boundaries of storytelling, global fandom and making the unimaginable a reality. We are a dream team obsessed with the uncomfortable excitement of discovering what happens when you merge creativity, intuition and cutting-edge technology. Come be a part of what’s next.

The Team

From producing global town halls and shaping leadership meetings to fresh, creative experiences that bring employees along, this team has a front-row seat to what’s happening across the business—and helps ensure everyone else gets a clear view, too.

We’re a fast-moving, collaborative group that takes the work seriously, but not ourselves.
