Manager, APAC Pan-Regional Communications - Advertising & Corporate Communications

Netflix is one of the world's leading entertainment services, with over 300 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.

We are seeking a Manager to support our Communications teams and priorities across APAC in the area of advertising, partnerships, and corporate communications. This position will lead the regional story of our advertising business externally and showcase how Netflix partners with brands across the service, while also partnering with local teams to support campaigns, events, and drive compelling external narratives about our business.

We introduced our Ads plan on Netflix in Korea, Japan and Australia three years ago to 1) provide consumers with a lower-cost option, and 2) help drive revenue for the business.
