AMC Networks Careers, Benefits, Review

At AMC Networks being diverse, equitable, and inclusive is more than a business imperative that spurs creativity and drives innovation. It’s at the heart of who we are and what we believe. We think, operate, and create using DEI as a lever for positive change in three critical areas: Our Talent & Workplace, Our Content, and Our Greater Purpose.

Our Talent & Workforce

Telling authentic stories starts from within – by forging a diverse, equitable and inclusive workforce and culture that recognizes, celebrates, and empowers everyone. This means we work to increase our pipeline of underrepresented talent and create more equal pathways for development and advancement. It means we ensure equity in our pay and people practices. And it means we provide everyone with the resources they need to make a positive impact at our company and in society.

Employee Resource Groups

Globally, we have ERGs that form communities through shared interests and experiences around nine areas, including Asian American, Visible & Invisible Disabilities, Emerging Leaders, Parents & Caregivers, LGBTQIA , Black, Hispanic and Women. Our ERG members are a vital part of everything we do, and create a culture of belonging for our employees. They facilitate networking and connections with peers; support the acquisition of diverse talent internally and externally; act as a valuable sounding board for content development and programming; provide an avenue to facilitate leadership and skill development; and increase the organization’s overall cultural competency.

Our Content & Programming

We are passionate about telling authentic stories that connect with audiences in meaningful ways and that entertain, with vivid characters and worlds that show a full spectrum of the human experience. Ensuring diverse and inclusive voices and points of view – on our screens, on our sets, and in our writer’s rooms – is fundamental to our creative process. It is how we understand, reflect, and speak with insight and authenticity to the wide range of audiences we reach every day.

Our Greater Purpose

In addition to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion within our hallways, in our productions and on our screens, we are a source for change and support in our communities. Through philanthropic efforts, community outreach and strong and lasting partnerships, we support causes that make a difference, that advance a culture of inclusivity and amplify everyone’s voice.

AT AMC NETWORKS WE BELIEVE THAT EVERYONE HAS A STORY TO TELL

For us, stories are personal. They have the capacity to divide or unite us. To get at life’s most precious moments.

Stories are powerful. They can help us see the world through eyes other than our own and better understand a greater spectrum of the human experience.

Our favorite shows and films occupy distinct and meaningful places in our lives. They create worlds and universes we can immerse ourselves in, along with vibrant fan communities.

It’s why we’re constantly striving to make stories that have a point of view, that authentically share different lived experiences, and become a part of the culture and get people thinking.

To make stories people love, and in nearly every form – from dramas and comedies, to non-fiction and reality, to short form, long form, and surely ways that are yet to be invented.

WE’RE NOT IN THE BIGGER IS BETTER BUSINESSWE’RE IN THE BETTER IS BETTER BUSINESS

As we have become a more digitally focused content company, our commitment is not to having tons of stuff. We’re only interested in the good stuff.

We’re not all things to all people and we don’t believe we have to be. What sets us apart is the passion and personal connection each of us has to the content we offer.

We believe a unique, curated, and community-focused approach, supported by high-quality storytelling, is what resonates with passionate audiences and is what will fuel our growth over the long term.

Iconic characters and worlds are a part of our DNA. For years, we’ve been dedicated to creating and delivering new formats and experiences for viewers around the world that surprise and delight.

We’ve delivered some of the most extraordinary stories in film and television history across AMC, BBC America, IFC, SundanceTV, WE tv, and IFC Films. We became the worldwide leader in targeted streaming, super-serving different fan communities like never before with Acorn TV, ALLBLK, Shudder, Sundance Now, HIDIVE and AMC .

And we still feel like we’re just getting started.

WE’RE ABLE TO DO WHAT WE DOBECAUSE OF A FEW KEY VALUES.

NEVER BE BORING.

We believe in the vision of dynamic and exciting storytellers. We value taking educated risks, challenging expectations, and leading with imagination because we believe in the power of bold and different ideas.

BE THOUGHTFUL.

We promote a culture where everyone treats each other with compassion, kindness, and respect. One where people act with integrity and honesty. We’re there for one another and we rally around each other.

CELEBRATE WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT.

We want to be a place that creates space for everyone to be true to themselves, where we use our platforms to help shape and better reflect the world we live in.

COLLABORATE INCLUSIVELY.

We work together across the board, regardless of background, culture, age, or identity. We always try to disagree constructively, speak openly, and challenge one another, never letting our differences get in the way of moving forward. It’s each of our jobs to ensure that everyone feels like they are a part of the group, in the conversation, and contributing towards our collective success.

TRUST ONE ANOTHER.

Our teams are made up of awesome people, and we trust them to support each other and do what they can to help everyone do their jobs to the best of their ability.

WHERE WE'RE GOING

EMBRACING PERIODS OF CHANGE AND THRIVING AS A RESULT IS WHAT WE DO.

We believe that success comes when motivated people with great ideas are working towards common goals.

Ultimately, we want everyone at AMCN to experience challenges, to experience success, and to find joy in their work and in their lives.

We believe that great results are only a part of the reward. The wins that count the most are the ones that come from growing and getting to know the people that define our culture and organization.

That is the kind of place we will always aim to be.

For AMC Networks employees, having a hand in bringing stories to life is more than a job. We are storytellers at heart – it’s who we are and is at the core of what we do. We take pride in creating and presenting compelling stories people love, with fictional or real characters that capture the imagination and endure.We value diversity and inclusion because we know that people from different backgrounds with different points of view, working together, is essential to our continued success. Join us as we look to further our future as the place where the world’s best stories are told.
