The Role

It’s an amazing time to be joining Netflix as we continue to transform entertainment globally. In Indonesia, Netflix is headquartered in Jakarta.

The team understands the operations of a production and guides each project through its financial workflows required for a successful launch on the service. 

We're looking for a Manager to join Netflix's Production Finance team in Indonesia, working closely with the Production Manager Lead and cross-functional partners across Creative, Physical Production, Post, VFX, and BALA. You'll provide day-to-day support to our growing slate, bringing financial rigor by partnering closely on budgets, spotting potential overages early, and helping guide decisions before costs are locked in. It's a chance to work on Netflix Original content for the region as part of a fast-moving, highly collaborative team, ideal for an experienced production professional who has built and controlled budgets on larger-scale projects.

• Share project updates and reports with internal cross-functional teams to keep everyone aligned
• Partner with production and creative teams to assess the cost impact of scheduling, scope, and creative decisions; offer practical options and escalate significant risks when needed.

Requirements:

• Bi/Multilingual proficiency with an emphasis on English and Bahasa Indonesia
• Proven ability to build a budget from script and schedule, defend it, and control spend against it through delivery, on or under approved cost. Familiar with everything included in a production budget, with a track record of forecasting EFC and spotting overage risks early.
• Deep knowledge of Indonesian production practices, crew and vendor rates, and how budgets actually get spent
• Comfortable in a fast-paced environment, with intellectual curiosity, a results-driven mindset, and high standards of integrity and professionalism; organized, self-motivated, and able to prioritize across multiple productions
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Formal finance or accounting background
• Ability to identify potential hurdles for our productions and help keep a project on track
