The Role

This Northern Europe Event Specialist will play a key role in strategizing, executing and managing external and some large scale internal events in the Benelux, the Nordics and Central & Eastern Europe. They will be part of the marketing team and a member of a broader, seasoned group of events professionals who are based across the local offices in EMEA.

This role will be responsible for collaborating, supporting and delivering the events in collaboration with the in-country teams - based in Amsterdam for the Benelux, in Stockholm for the Nordics and in Warsaw for Central & Eastern Europe - and will report into the Northern Europe Event Lead, also based in Amsterdam.

The primary focus of this role will be a combination of managing your own small to mid-sized events, supporting event managers on large-scale events and keeping the entire Northern Europe Events Team organised across all their events.

More broadly the goal of the team is to drive conversation around Netflix titles, talent and the brand through curated events and experiences. The specialist will work with other events team members and the cross functional team that is helping to create, shape, execute and manage campaigns for our content, meaning that they will have to be in sync and show a curiosity about promotional efforts and contribute to building campaigns with new and innovative event ideas. This is also a hands-on role and one that requires end to end project management of some events, whilst also working as a support on other events. This will involve varying tasks such as leading cross functional project taskforce groups, managing agency pitches, ideating event creative, overseeing guest communications, formulating budgets, handling event admin and much more.

Success in the role is someone who can simplify even the most challenging of situations, leaving partners and talent impressed and feeling like their event is in very safe and trusted hands.
