THE OPPORTUNITY

Are you passionate about documentaries—so much so that they top your “must-watch” list ahead of scripted films and popular series? Do you thrive on crafting award-winning, breakthrough marketing campaigns? The Netflix Nonfiction Marketing team seeks a creative marketing leader to lead the day-to-day development and execution of consumer marketing campaigns for a diverse slate of documentary films and series.

• You can conceptualize and articulate creative strategy and big ideas that people will rally around. You understand how to tell a strategic, compelling and cohesive story across all platforms.

• You have a strong passion for documentaries and nonfiction storytelling. 

• You are a cross-functional team player who is able to engage, listen and collaborate with internal departments. You seek to be the connector of information rather than the gatekeeper. 

• You can effectively communicate to executives, filmmakers, showrunners, producers, talent and talent representatives as needed.

• You possess an excellent ability to problem solve across a vast array of conflicts and challenges every day.

• You are a proactive self-starter, who is resourceful and solution-oriented. You demonstrate strong judgment in the face of ambiguity.

• Engage audiences and generate large-scale conversation through a combination of traditional single-title campaigns and alternative approaches.

• Provide high level filmmaker & showrunner / talent support across the documentary slate. 

• Key contact amongst all cross functional teams including content, publicity, communications, creative marketing production, product, and editorial to optimize across teams and ensure goals are being met.  

• Oversee overall scope, budget, and resources for your campaigns. 

EXPERIENCE & SKILLS

• 8-10+ years of experience in building strategic and creative consumer marketing campaigns, preferably at a streaming network or studio with a background in entertainment (TV, film, gaming), global lifestyle/sports brand or creative/advertising agency. 

• Key decision maker in a senior marketing role. Someone who is challenged and energized by changes and creating opportunities for the business.

• High-touch talent management skills, with the ability to effectively communicate different facets of their campaigns to executives, showrunners (or filmmakers), talent and talent representatives (as needed).

• Experience managing a high volume of campaign types in parallel.

• Experience managing high-risk legal projects, along with the ability to respond rapidly and judiciously to real-world events.

• Strong interpersonal, creative, presentation, problem solving, negotiating, influencing, facilitation, organizational, prioritization, decision making, analytical and conflict resolution skills.

• Experienced in agency/brand relationship building, capable of shaping productive long-term relations with external partners by providing continuous feedback.

• A cross-functional leader who is able to engage, listen and collaborate with internal departments/teams to align early on in terms of overall strategy and goals, and to see the cross-functional collaboration through launch.
