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.

This role combines corporate tax leadership with oversight of our UK production tax activities, reflecting the breadth of Netflix’s operations in the UK. The successful candidate will report into the overall Head of UK tax/EMEA Production tax, take day-to-day responsibility for a talented team of six, partner closely with senior leaders across Finance, Legal, Production, and Business Affairs, and act as a key representative with HMRC and other stakeholders.

This is an exciting time to join the team who are already very skilled in advising our UK productions, but are now expanding to support our whole UK business.  Our vision is for the successful candidate to add strong technical skills in UK corporate and international tax, particularly on those issues that impact a US-inbound company such as Netflix. 

We expect our leaders to uphold the values in our culture memo by modelling selflessness, judgment, courage in exercising vulnerability and candor, and resilience to navigate their teams through change. Our leaders are responsible for building and maintaining a dream team who are inspired and empowered to achieve the best work of their lives.
