Job description

The Opportunity

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.

Netflix is one of the world's leading entertainment services, bringing exceptional stories to audiences in more than 190 countries. As Netflix enters its second decade in India, we are building on ten years of redefining streaming entertainment, championing Indian storytelling and helping local stories find audiences around the world. Today, Netflix's role in India extends far beyond entertainment. We invest in creators, strengthen the country's creative ecosystem, partner with government and industry, and help shape conversations around storytelling, culture, technology and the future of entertainment. This is an opportunity to join the Communications team at a defining moment in Netflix India's journey. You'll help shape the reputation of one of the world's most influential entertainment brands while working at the intersection of storytelling, business, policy, culture and technology. No two days are the same. One day you could be advising senior leaders on a complex reputational issue. Next, you're helping launch a landmark series, shaping a public policy narrative, working with journalists on a major business story, or partnering with our content teams to tell the story behind India's next global hit. If you enjoy solving complex communications challenges, building narratives that influence perception, and working with extraordinary people across disciplines, you'll love this role.

The Role

We're looking for a communications leader with exceptional judgement, curiosity and strong strategic instincts. This is not a specialist role. We're looking for a communications generalist-someone who has successfully managed a broad range of corporate, consumer, executive, reputation and issues-led communications, and understands how those disciplines come together to build trust in a brand. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable developing long-term communications strategies, navigating high-profile issues, advising senior leaders, and rolling up their sleeves to execute. A strong understanding of India's media and entertainment ecosystem is important not because we expect an expert in entertainment, but because the ability to understand the broader cultural landscape, industry dynamics and stakeholder environment is essential to succeeding in this role. The successful candidate will bring approximately 13-15 years of communications experience across agency, corporate or media environments, ideally working with high-profile brands, complex reputational issues and senior stakeholders.

What You'll Do

Shape and execute integrated communications strategies that strengthen Netflix's reputation in India and reinforce its role as a long-term partner to the country's creative economy and storytelling ecosystem. Partner closely with teams across Public Policy, Content, Publicity, Marketing, Product, Partnerships and leadership to build compelling narratives. Anticipate emerging issues, identify reputational risks and develop proactive communications strategies. Serve as a trusted advisor to senior leaders on communications strategy and stakeholder engagement. Build and maintain strong relationships across business, financial, technology, entertainment and trade media. Write and edit a broad range of communications materials including executive messaging, press materials, speeches, opinion pieces and strategic documents.

We're Looking For Someone Who

Has exceptional judgement and communications instincts. Is a good writer who can simplify complexity into clear, compelling narratives. Thinks strategically but enjoys execution. Is highly collaborative and comfortable influencing across functions. Curious about entertainment, business, technology, culture and public policy. Understands how India's media ecosystem operates. Has experience managing complex issues and advising senior stakeholders. Is entrepreneurial, resourceful and comfortable operating in ambiguity. Has a bias for action and consistently delivers high-quality work at pace.

To Thrive at Netflix

The people who succeed at Netflix combine independent thinking with sound judgement. They are curious, candid, collaborative and comfortable challenging conventional thinking. They take ownership, thrive in ambiguity and are motivated by impact.
