Production Health & Safety Manager – EMEA

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.

It's an amazing time to join Netflix as we continue shaping the future of global entertainment, bringing new stories to millions of people worldwide. Our EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) Production team is looking for a curious, strategic and collaborative Production Health & Safety Manager to join us.

This role sits within our Production Health & Safety (PH&S) team and supports our mission to enable great storytelling by helping productions manage health and safety risk in a way that’s meaningful, effective, and grounded in local context.

We’re not here to police productions or tick boxes — we partner with Producers and Department Heads to help make safety part of how creative visions are brought to life.

The Role

Reporting to Senior Manager, Production Health & Safety – EMEA, you’ll focus on markets including France, Italy, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, and the Nordics. You’ll act as a thought partner to local productions, supporting from pitch to play, ensuring safety plans are fit for purpose, and strengthening local industry capacity.

While you won’t be on set daily, you’ll stay closely connected with our productions — offering assurance and advice, helping teams sense-check safety approaches, and engaging meaningfully when incidents or complex issues arise.

This is a role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, cares deeply about people, and understands both the art and science of safety. You’re confident working across diverse markets, regulations, and production models — and you’re excited by the idea of shaping safety culture in some of the most vibrant content-making environments in the world.

What You’ll Do

• Partner with Productions
  Support productions in understanding their health & safety risks especially for high-risk activity (construction, stunts, SFX, electrical work, etc). Help shape practical, proportionate safety plans that enable creativity and meet local expectations.
• Provide Assurance & Guidance
  Review and sense-check safety documentation. Flag gaps and opportunities. Offer advice and support on risk mitigation — especially during pre-production and for complex activities during shoot.
• Build Industry Capacity
  Develop networks of trusted health & safety specialists and production experts across the region. Help connect productions with the right expertise and develop market-level approaches that grow sustainable, local capability.
• Regional Insight & Context
  Understand and navigate country-specific regulations, enforcement cultures, and industry practices. Tailor advice and approaches to what makes sense for each market, while aligning with Netflix’s global values and goals.
• Contribute to Strategy & Projects
  Help shape regional initiatives and tools that scale across productions and countries. Collaborate cross-functionally with internal teams (Security, Sustainability, Legal, Labor, HR, etc.) to embed safety as a key enabler across the business.
• Engage, Share & Learn
  Support regional PH&S events, workshops and learning forums. Capture and share learnings from incidents and near misses to help our teams and the wider industry improve.
• Champion Inclusion & Respect
  Work to support Netflix's Inclusion Guidelines, helping productions foster respectful, inclusive working environments where safety is for everyone.
• Be a Facilitator, Not a Gatekeeper
  Bring people together to solve tricky challenges, surface insights, and shape practical solutions. Help teams move forward with confidence and clarity.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years experience in Health & Safety, ideally with a background in production, entertainment or similarly dynamic industries.
• Technical health & safety qualifications and/or professional memberships (e.g, NEBOSH Int. Diploma or equivalent).
• Strong judgement, calm under pressure, and skilled at navigating ambiguity.
• Cultural fluency and curiosity — you’re comfortable working across multiple countries and adapting to different working norms.
• Clear communicator — you can translate safety language into something producers and creatives care about.
• Collaborative mindset — you like working with others to solve problems and create impact.
• Passion for creative work — you want to be part of helping great content get made, safely.
• Willingness and ability to travel as needed

At Netflix, we believe in people over process. We value curiosity, courage, and the freedom to do your best work in your own way. You’ll find smart, kind colleagues here — and a culture that trusts you to take ownership and make a difference.

We are an equal-opportunity employer and celebrate diversity, recognizing that diversity builds stronger teams. We approach diversity and inclusion seriously and thoughtfully. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, ancestry, national origin, caste, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or expression, age, disability, medical condition, pregnancy, genetic makeup, marital status, or military service.
