The Team You’ll be Joining: Photo & AV Studio
The Photo & AV Studio team has the enviable position of straddling two worlds in the entertainment industry: Photo & AV asset creation and global communication strategy. We specialise in capturing and creating photo & video assets that shape, enhance and support our publicity campaigns for our Netflix Original content including series, films, and documentaries. Simply put, we produce the content that compels people to watch our shows through earned media!
The Role
What photos will ensure a magazine spread? What video will get audiences and publishers excited about a new show? How do we make a talking head interview visually pop?

We are looking for a seasoned Photo & AV Studio Manager, a strategic individual to support PR campaigns, driven by A/V materials, for Netflix titles - photography, videos, the next big thing. Our content stands out and makes an impact on the industry and consumers alike, compelling them to watch Netflix content. The role requires a high level of creativity, an inquisitive, innovative and self motivated personality, and a succinct communicator with a strong project management background.
Being a team player with a positive attitude and willingness to be flexible and get the job done is essential, as is the ability to strategically plan and execute multiple projects simultaneously. You’ll be working with TV/film productions, talent, filmmakers, publicity and events as part of the Netflix PR team in the DACH region.
Building relationships as well as working autonomously in a fast paced environment will be key to success. We don’t focus on job titles at Netflix but hire outstanding high performers who act responsibly on the resources and freedom they are given to do their work.
