The Team

The Netflix Live Events team is responsible for planning and executing Netflix's LIVE events across Sports and Entertainment, including specials and multi-title fan events. The team values strong partnerships, clear communication, and shared ownership, working together to deliver live experiences with a high bar for quality and execution.

Live Events is a visible and trusted partner working across Marketing, Content, Production, and other cross-functional teams. Team members are encouraged to contribute ideas, problem-solve together, and support one another in a fast-moving environment with a shared goal of delivering well-executed live events that reflect Netflix's standards and create memorable moments for audiences. This team is focused on the strategy, planning, and on‑the‑ground execution of large‑scale, in‑person and hybrid live events and fan experiences.

The Opportunity

The Netflix Live Events team is seeking a Senior Manager, Live Events with expertise in large‑scale live event and experiential production and the execution of large-scale, culture-shaping events across a wide range of formats, sizes, and global locations. This role will play a pivotal part in shaping the future of Netflix's most high-profile LIVE events and specials, helping to set the standard for operational excellence, creative ambition, and cultural relevance.

You'll have the opportunity to work alongside senior leadership and a cross-functional team to support the strategic planning and execution of Netflix's marquee Live programming-including sports events, entertainment events, and fan events like TUDUM and Netflix is a Joke Fest. In addition to delivering exceptional events, you'll help define processes, elevate creative standards, and contribute to broader LIVE initiatives that drive innovation and create memorable moments for audiences worldwide.

This is a live events role, not a traditional television production role. You'll be responsible for executing all hospitality events tied to the main show, including welcome events, after parties, VIP/talent hospitality, and sponsor/partner events. While production experience is a plus, this is fundamentally an event and experiential role. You'll be responsible for supporting the event strategy and post-event evaluation, ensuring that each activation reflects Netflix's values and continues to push boundaries in the live events space.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the end-to-end event strategy, creative development, planning, and execution for Netflix's Live Events slate with global partners.
• Oversee all aspects of event production, including creative design, venue sourcing, vendor research, and contract negotiation.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with global teams, across production, content, legal, security, health & safety, and other internal teams to ensure aligned and efficient workflows.
• Day-to-day communication and partnership with external leagues and partners, such as the WWE, NFL, FIFA, and others.
• Identify opportunities to scale and streamline event operations, processes, and tools.
• Build, manage, and reconcile event budgets and invoices, ensuring financial accuracy and accountability.
• Deliver creatively excellent events that meet strategic goals while staying within approved budgets.
• Own post-event analysis, capturing insights, cross-functional feedback, and performance metrics to inform future Live Events.
• Maintain and elevate event standards based on learnings from previous activations.
• Partner closely with Marketing and Ad Sales to support client integrations related to Live Events.

** Who we are looking for:**

• Extensive experience leading events across a wide range of formats, scales, and global locations.
• Strong project management skills with the ability to execute and oversee multiple initiatives simultaneously.
• Comfort working in ambiguity, adaptable, flexible, and proactive in shifting strategy or creative direction.
• Agile, goal-oriented, driven to succeed and always up for a challenge.
• A blend of creative vision and logistical mastery, capable of navigating complex, fast-changing environments with confidence.
• Exceptional communicator and collaborator, adept at working with internal teams, external partners, production companies, and talent/talent reps.
• Curious and bold. Unafraid to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and push for smarter solutions.
• Proven track record of delivering large-scale, high-profile events on time and within budget.
• Innovative mindset with a passion for bringing fresh, strategic ideas to the table.
• Strong leadership presence, able to guide teams and contribute creatively to a wide range of challenges.
• Willingness to travel domestically and internationally as needed.

** This role is likely not a fit if your primary background is in scripted or unscripted TV/film production without owning the physical live event or fan experience on‑site. It is a fit if you've led complex, multi‑stakeholder, large‑scale live events where audience experience, safety, and logistics are as critical as the filmed output.**

** Qualifications:**

• 10+ years of large scale, sporting and/or entertainment live event experience (e.g., sports events, fan festivals, experiential/brand activations, arena or stadium events, multi‑day fan conventions, or similar), ideally within a network, experiential agency, or studio environment.
• Demonstrated success leading complex global projects and driving new concepts from ideation to execution.
• Proven ability to think independently and innovatively, connecting dots, solving problems, and identifying opportunities where others may not.
• Experience in working with global partners and events is a plus.
