Netflix posted eight new job openings last week for its Fort Monmouth studio in New Jersey, with salaries reaching as high as $323,000. The postings include coordinator, specialist, and managerial roles tied to the planned studio.
Why it matters
The studio is projected to create thousands of jobs in Monmouth County and expand the state's film and television industry. The hiring comes even as Netflix cut roughly 1,000 employees, about 6% of its workforce.
The eight postings range from coordinator roles to managers earning $181,000 to $323,000, and the company's planned 3,500 construction jobs and 1,500 permanent production jobs stand against a roughly 1,000-person workforce cut. Whether all eight roles will be filled, and how quickly the projected permanent jobs will arrive, has not been specified.
The players
Netflix

JT Magen
JT Magen is a real estate developer that partnered with Netflix on the construction of the Oceanport portion of the studio.
The details
Netflix is developing a mega-studio with 12 soundstages across Eatontown and Oceanport, after closing on a nearly 300-acre former Fort Monmouth property for $55 million in December 2025. Crews began vertical construction on the Eatontown parcel in August, and the companies recently celebrated installation of the final structural beam on the last dual soundstage in Oceanport.
Timeline

Market Landscape
The Fort Monmouth project places Netflix among the large studio operators building dedicated production facilities rather than renting space. It extends New Jersey's broader push to draw major screen production into the state.
Job seekers in Monmouth County may find new coordinator and specialist openings tied to the studio, with posted salaries reaching $323,000 for senior roles. Residents may also see construction activity and a potential rise in local production employment as the studio approaches its 2028 target.
The takeaway
The Fort Monmouth studio shows how a single large project can shift local hiring toward production and construction roles even during broader corporate cutbacks. Job seekers interested in the film sector should watch for openings tied to the studio's staged opening.
