The Role
The Photo & AV Studio team is a marketing function that leverages unique access to sets and talent to deliver creative and production excellence in content capture, supporting title and brand campaigns from ideation to execution.
What photos will land a magazine spread? What behind-the-scenes videos will get fans excited on social media? How do we make an interview with our talent stand out visually? As the Senior Manager of Photo & AV Studio CEE, you will play a dual role: on one hand, you’ll lead and support a team of Photo & AV Studio managers, providing strategic direction aligned with Marketing strategy and endlessly pursue creative excellence in every project. On the other hand, you will also individually lead and execute select strategic projects from start to finish - acting as a fully autonomous creative and production lead for on-set asset capture, directly responsible for concept development, on-set execution, and final delivery.
We're seeking a strategic and creative leader to manage photo and video content for Netflix CEE campaigns - from unit photography, behind-the-scenes features, bespoke social assets to event coverage. You’ll collaborate very closely with teams across Marketing, Social, and Publicity to ensure our content stands out and engages audiences.
This is a role for a strong communicator and creative problem-solver who excels in both autonomous execution and cross functional team leadership. You should thrive in a fast-paced environment, be a collaborative team player, and manage multiple projects with ease. This role calls for a leader who can ruthlessly prioritize the work of the team that jungles many projects and be a partner in their career/skills development.
You’ll partner with productions, talent, filmmakers, and internal teams across CEE (mostly Poland but also Romania & Czechia) to bring our marketing vision to life. Strong relationships, strategic thinking, and a hands-on approach are key to success.
We hire the best and value integrity, excellence, respect, inclusion, and collaboration. Our culture is what makes Netflix unique.
Responsibilities of the role include:
- Own and define the Photo & AV Studio strategy for Netflix CEE (on-set & off-set), ensuring strong alignment with broader marketing and business goals.
- Set a clear vision for your team and act as a compass within the Marketing group, guiding direction, maintaining alignment, and fostering a collaborative, high-performing culture.
- Provide clarity in ways of working, establish operational excellence, and delegate effectively, ensuring workload is distributed fairly and work is well-organized without micromanaging.
- Communicate your vision and priorities regularly across cross-functional teams to drive alignment and momentum.
- Develop and execute local title strategies to capture and produce creative assets that support marketing campaigns throughout their lifecycle.
- Act as the primary Photo & AV Studio representative internally and externally with talent, producers, and partners.
- Collaborate closely with Marketing, Social, Publicity, and Product teams to align on creative capture needs and ensure campaign briefs are clear and actionable.
- Oversee photography and video content for premieres, events, and photo shoots. Curate and deliver high-impact assets to internal teams.
- Hire and manage photographers and video crews, reviewing scripts and schedules, and coordinating with production.
- Track trends and innovations in the field; identify and onboard creative partners while building a diverse and dynamic network.
- Contribute to overall Marketing strategy as part of the CEE Marketing leadership team.
- Manage, develop, and support a team of Photo & AV managers, fostering a culture of excellence, accountability, and inclusion. Own the team budget.
Skills and Requirements:
- 10+ years of experience in visual content creation, with a strong track record of leadership in Marketing, Publicity & Social.
- Experience leading creative teams, setting direction, aligning stakeholders, and managing through influence and clarity - not control.
- Demonstrated ability to lead with vision, drive operational excellence, and communicate effectively across a matrixed organization.
- Deep understanding of the photography/video industry and digital formats especially social media.
- Strong background in entertainment, music, TV, lifestyle, or advertising preferred.
- Fluent in Polish and English.
