Senior Manager, Creative Production Strategy, Planning & Analysis

Job Description

As Netflix continues to grow, we are looking for a Senior Manager to join the Creative Production Strategy, Planning & Analysis (CP SP&A) team supporting the Product Creative function within Creative Production. Creative Production is comprised of multiple teams responsible for promotional asset creation (video, artwork / print, & digital), creative strategy for our titles, content theme analyses & tagging, and linguistic & cultural adaptation of Netflix content. The goal of Creative Production is to create experiences that help people discover and connect with the stories they'll love, both on and off our service. Specifically, the Product Creative team develops the promotional assets used on our service. After logging into Netflix, if you've ever chosen a title based on the artwork or trailer, you've experienced the work of our Product Creative team.

Netflix derives a significant competitive advantage from the highly analytical approach it takes to managing all aspects of the business, and this is equally applicable to Product Creative strategy and operations. Product Creative leadership relies heavily on CP SP&A as a key contributor to strategic development, creative and operational excellence, and informing important business decisions with actionable data-driven insights.

In this role, you will need to drive thought leadership and be highly analytical, a strong problem solver, and an effective and influential communicator with cross-functional partners who have different backgrounds, levels, and experiences. You must thrive in a fast-paced environment, possess a high level of intellectual curiosity, and display strong initiative for meeting the business demands within Product Creative.
