Manager, Communications - Scripted Series

At Netflix, our mission is to entertain the world. Together, we are writing the next episode - pushing the boundaries of storytelling, global fandom and making the unimaginable a reality. We are a dream team obsessed with the uncomfortable excitement of discovering what happens when you merge creativity, intuition and cutting-edge technology. Come be a part of what’s next.

Do you live and breathe entertainment and the business behind it? Do you stay ahead of the curve on the scripted television series and franchises defining culture right now? Are you as interested in the creative bets, deals, and executives behind a show as you are in the show itself? Are you the person reporters call first — with story ideas already lined up before anyone asks?

If you thrive in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment and are a master storyteller who can turn complex business and creative challenges into compelling narratives, we invite you to join our growing communications team.

The Manager, Scripted Series Communications protects and promotes Netflix’s reputation across our scripted series portfolio, spanning drama, comedy, genre, YA, and franchise IP. This role owns the full 360-degree communications cycle—from development and greenlight through launch, renewal, and beyond—leading strategy, campaign planning, executive visibility, and issues management.

Media relations is the core of this role. You will personally pitch, secure, and shape press coverage, building narratives that connect our slate to broader cultural and industry conversations. We seek an ambitious, strategic storyteller and media relations pro who thrives in ambiguity and is energized by calculated risk. You should be a hands-on operator with established press relationships who excels at working directly with creators, talent, and production partners.
