Netflix is one of the world's leading entertainment services with 278 million paid memberships in over 190 countries enjoying TV series, films and games across a wide variety of genres and languages. Members can play, pause and resume watching as much as they want, anytime, anywhere, and can change their plans at any time.

The Role

Do you like creative experimentation and risk-taking? Challenging the creative status quo? Are you a clear communicator who can lead multiple writers and editors to craft groundbreaking work?

We are seeking a seasoned Managing Editor to join Creative Labs. The ideal candidate is an expert on messaging, tech, media and editorial operations. This person will have a demonstrable passion for messaging for entertainment, an understanding of global media trends and thrive on bold brand thinking.

Together with other regional Managing Editors, you will oversee clear, engaging and accurate copy about merchandising content such as shows, movies, and games within creative experimentation. You'll partner with creative strategy and development partners, merchandising, engineering, writers and editors (both internal and external), localization, and content design.

As Managing Editor, it is your job to ensure that Creative Labs initiatives are adequately resourced with what they need; you'll help our team find the right writers and editors for their projects and give context to our creative technology team as they provide use cases for our tools to improve workflows. While this is not a people manager role, previous management experience will set you up for success.

The Team:

As Creative Labs, we sit within the product org at Netflix focused on enhancing promotional creative that appears on the Netflix platform. We exist to contribute innovative creative & tech expertise to help our internal partners make leaps forward using promotional creative. We are not a product UI team, but develop solutions that can help evolve the product promotional experience and creative approaches.

 

 

Each year, we identify specific areas of focus related to product evolutions, member needs, or innovative opportunities. We draw upon outside inspiration, member research, and our institutional knowledge to develop insight informed promotional approaches and creative prototypes that are used by the broader organization as best-practice, inspirational, impactful guides.

We are creative directors, strategists, technologists, and artists who partner with different teams and organizations across the company to reimagine promotional assets through rigorous off-service and on-service testing.

 

What Will Help You Succeed

• Exceptional writing, editing, and proofreading skills. You must have multiple examples of published work and/or projects
• Deep content and cultural knowledge about media, including current trends in entertainment. Simply put, you're a superfan who keeps up with film and TV - and you can help Netflix members around the globe get excited about our titles
• Expertise in the world of messaging and leading writing teams to identify the right kind of story to tell and the right format to tell it in for our members

• The ability to understand and simplify complex technical concepts. This role will interact with technical and creative teams and needs to communicate effectively with both.

You are expected to:

• Be a systems thinker even if the output does not call for creative system work
• Be a self-starter and problem solver who has the ability to spearhead, lead, and manage a creative project
• Establish the creative bar that partner teams use for asset quality and standards during all stages of technical builds, including editorial/functional quality assurance, delivery for localization and future scaling needs
• Collaborate with Creative Labs Creative Strategists, Creative Labs Creative Development, Merchandising Strategists, Brand Managers, Product Managers, Consumer Insights Team, Internal Regional Creatives, XD team and Production as well as cross-functional and external partners to create and craft creatively excellent work for Netflix
