About two years ago NETFLIX set up a Toronto production hub, leasing studio spaces along the waterfront. The company recognized this city’s many talents, partners, international festivals and production crews, some of which also applies to Vancouver. In its forthcoming corporate office, Netflix expects 10 to 15 employees will be based in Toronto.
First priority is hiring the Content Executive in June, who will work directly with creators, deciding on ideas for films and series.
Other jobs will be posted in the careers section of the Netflix website.
Toronto’s Mayor JOHN TORY said “a new Canadian office will call Toronto home! Our pitch: We’re a film friendly city that celebrates the screen industry. Quality and our talent pool diversity is unmatched. Our production and post-production industry is robust and expanding.”
