Product Manager, Enablement Platform

Job Description

It's an amazing time to be joining Netflix as we continue to transform entertainment around the world. We have grown to over 204 million paid memberships in over 190 countries. Within the Partnership Enablement Product team, we support this mission by creating and managing platforms, services, and tools, that enable our partners and internal teams to deliver a quality Netflix experience to members all over the world. The partner ecosystem is growing and we are tackling many exciting, hard problems to help support the breadth of the evolving partnership landscape.

We are looking for a strategic product leader to join the team and focus on our Partnership Enablement domain. You will lead a cross-functional team of designers, engineers, analysts, and other specialists to identify opportunities to evolve our current suite of applications and tools from being project-centric to being partner-centric. As the partner landscape has evolved, so has the need for extensible and scalable solutions across various partner and integration types. This role is focused on identifying, defining and leading this evolution towards a platform-focused suite to enable our partners effectively and efficiently across different modalities including TVs, mobile, set-top boxes and platform providers. Your team will deliver products that enable our partner and internal stakeholders to manage their integrations and relationships in a consistent, efficient manner, leaning into such principles as single sources of truth, centralized and federated data models, configurability and component-based application design. A successful candidate will have the creativity to look at problems in new ways and the boldness to try new things with an eye to scalability, a hypothesis-driven mentality, a balance of creativity and analytical skills, and exceptional organizational influence.

You will drive efficiency and quality, ensuring our internal and external stakeholders are able to scale effectively. This role has a strong focus on platform development, working to ensure scalable, consistent and efficient solutions across the integration offerings.
