HR Business Partner Manager, EMEA

• Amsterdam, Netherlands
• Talent and Recruiting

With over 167 million paid memberships in 190+ countries, Netflix is changing the way we tell and share stories across the globe.  We continue to grow rapidly in EMEA, creating TV series, films and documentaries in a diverse range of countries and languages across the region.  As we scale, grow our employee population and open offices in multiple countries, scaling our unique culture and way of operating becomes increasingly challenging.  With that, we need a strong Talent team to partner closely with each of our business functions to support and challenge them as they work to drive even more growth in the region.  Specifically, we’re looking for a senior HR Business Partner Manager to partner with our Finance, Customer Service and Talent orgs.    

In this role, you’ll be expected to lead and model the Netflix culture, while being thoughtful about cultural nuances that may impact how teams work together in such a large and diverse region.  The ideal candidate is an experienced HR Business Partner, with strong influencing skills. We need someone who is highly curious and collaborative, and who naturally seeks insight and feedback from their colleagues around the globe.  This is a true Business Partnering role, responsible for providing thoughtful counsel to leaders and teams across multiple functions in the business. You won’t spend time creating HR best practices or programs, but will embed yourself within your partner teams, and will drive conversations and initiatives that support our business strategy.  In order to be successful in the role, you’ll need to model our unique culture through your behaviour and interactions, and will have to encourage and initiate difficult conversations and open feedback.  

A successful Talent leader at Netflix understands not only team dynamics but deeply understands the functions they support and how they fit in with the broader business.  They can contribute to conversations outside of people and culture, but can also leverage our culture to make the business more effective. They are naturally curious about other people and cultures, and strive to create not only an efficient but an inclusive work environment.  

We’re looking for individuals who are driven not by title or scope (in employee numbers) but by the impact they can make to our EMEA business.  Ideally, you’ll have experience in technology or entertainment, or in a business with an innovative approach or culture. Experience partnering with, challenging and influencing stakeholders at the Executive level across countries and continents is imperative.  You’ll need to be effective in building relationships and exchanging insights not only with other Talent colleagues and stakeholders in EMEA, but also in other regions, including our US Headquarters. Our business is growing quickly and constantly evolving, and as a result your role may evolve too.  While experience in partnering with Finance or related functions is ideal, versatility and broad business acumen is what will make you most successful in the role. Fluency in Italian or French is a plus.
