Job description

About the Role

The Screening Specialist owns end-to-end execution of physical and virtual screenings across APAC, acting as the technical and vendor-management expert who ensures every screening meets Netflix's quality bar, on time and on brand. This is a hands-on, in-market role requiring strong cross-functional relationship skills and hands-on project management, supported by technical screening expertise.

Key Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end execution of physical and virtual screenings, including DCP/KDM ingest, subtitle and audio configuration, and onsite or remote technical support.
• Run the standard technical checklist: venue tech checks before screening day, content re-checks with PSCs before doors open, and standby coverage through the end of the screening, covering AV equipment, projector calibration, audio levels, framing, and safety hazards.
• Manage day-to-day vendor relationships across the team's 19-vendor active roster spanning DCP creation, QC, tech check/on-site execution, engineering/buildout, and virtual-screening platforms.
• Keep Glowbot (the team's project-tracking system) current and support ongoing efforts to automate manual admin work.
• Partner cross-functionally with Publicity, Events, Post Production, and Awards on timing, asset readiness, and market-specific requirements (e.g. classification, versioning).
• Build and manage vendor relationships across APAC, ensuring reliance on vendors; while helping diversify and strengthen the local vendor bench in each country.
• Serve as the primary screening project point of contact, navigating language, quality, delivery and stakeholder complexity independently.

Requirements – Must Have

• Strong project and time management, including composure under reactive, short-notice timelines.
• Comfortable operating independently in-market; will often be the only Screenings presence in India day to day.
• Cross-functional collaboration skills: this role sits at the intersection of Publicity, Events, and Post Production and needs to build trust with all three.
• Stakeholder & Reputation Management: SME support for cross-functional enquiries; filmmaker/executive alignment on sensitive quality conversations.
• High attention to detail and an excellence bar suited to premiere-level, talent-facing events.
• Vendor Relationship Management: setting and enforcing service-level expectations with vendors and engineering contractors.
• Admin: expense tracking, vendor payment system setup, Glowbot access setup.
• Willing to travel.

Requirements – Preferred

• Hands-on technical experience in DCI (Digital Cinema Initiatives) and AV: DCP, QC, tech check, and KDM technical understanding, plus real-time pass/fail judgment on site.
• On-Site Execution: technical producing, day-of-event communication management, on-site vendor accountability.
• Ability to read and enforce precise digital cinema equipment calibration standards.
• Business acumen and a "quality gatekeeper" mindset, treating technical execution as a strategic contribution to campaign and awards outcomes, not just delivery.
• Experience building or managing vendor relationships from scratch in a market, especially valuable given India's current vendor concentration risk.
• Familiarity with festival or awards-season logistics.
• Regional Operations: proven ability to manage multi-country logistics independently and adapt to local venue/market conditions.

What Success Looks Like

Screenings run smoothly and on-brand across all APAC markets; vendor relationships are proactively managed and diversified; and cross-functional partners see Screenings as a trusted, strategic partner, not just a technical service.
