You’ll apply your writing expertise and passion to cross-functional innovation projects, collaborating with other writing, analysis, localization, design and product teams. Since we are part of a distributed team, you’ll use Slack, Google Workspace, email and other digital tools to communicate about assignments, projects and publishing deadlines.
As Managing Editor, it is your job to ensure that projects are adequately resourced with the right writers, and that external resources (vendors) have access to relevant information and provide editorial guidance for high-priority titles. You’ll also help guide innovation programs, implement their findings, and constantly evolve and update writing guidelines for external partners.
What Will Help You Succeed
Deep content and cultural knowledge about EMEA media, including current trends in entertainment. Simply put, you’re a superfan who keeps up with film and TV from the region — and help Netflix members around the globe get excited about it, too
Experience with managing creative work at scale and working with outsourcing models
Experience managing creative teams. Our source copy is written in English, so you must have the professional authority to enforce standards among a team of high-performing writers
A love of language. Even though you’re an expert with deep industry knowledge, you’ll always advocate for writing with an empathetic understanding of a broader audience in mind.
You must be comfortable with enforcing rigorous editing, tight deadlines and workshopping copy with a team of writers and editors
An expert-level understanding of different tones and platforms for writing. Whether the assignment at hand is a trailer script for highbrow film, a synopsis for blockbuster rom-com or an animated educational series for kids, you understand that different types of content should have copy tailored to their respective tones, and you know how to assign the right writers to the task
A commitment to our team’s core values, like candid feedback, passion and curiosity
Innovative thinking. We’re looking for someone who’s constantly looking for ways to improve the member experience through experimentation and testing
Key Responsibilities:
Manage an editorial schedule to ensure on-time delivery for written assets
Leverage the scale efficiencies of the externalization program to forecast and direct assignment allocation, partnering closely with regional leads to prioritize schedules
Partner with engineering teams to establish, refine and adopt a scalable, automated assignment logic based on strong editorial judgment and suits the needs of members and our business.
Digest and distill feedback from internal auditors to pass on comprehensive and actionable feedback to external partners
Identify region-specific workflow issues and proactively address discrepancies
Implement learnings from innovation initiatives to coach and implement with internal and external partners
Good-to-Haves
Experience in EMEA media and native fluency in at least one European language are a high priority
People management experience
Experience working with global brands
Experience with AB testing
Please note that candidates will be asked to complete a brief (and fun) writing exercise as a part of the application process. This role will be located out of our office in Amsterdam and will require regular syncs with partners around various EMEA and U.S. time zones. Some travel will be required
