Netflix connects people of all ages around the world with stories they will love. Bringing joy to over 208 million households in more than 190 countries, the Fan & Promotion team within Consumer Insights is growing! This team supports key partners including the Editorial Publishing Group at Netflix, whose mission is to build meaningful bonds between fans and content through new direct, personal, and vibrant experiences - operating at the intersections where world-class editorial content meets immersive experiences that put fans at the core.

As the Senior Researcher - Culture and Editorial, you will have the opportunity to join the ground floor of a growing team and lead innovative research with impact on a global scale.

• Immerse in new technologies and guide research that stays ahead of audience needs related to editorial engagement and experiences across platforms (e.g., listening, watching, and reading)
• Identify best practices in existing and emerging culture and foresight methodologies
• Think beyond the status quo and strong ability to use consumer insight to ''look ahead'' and envision what's next

We Are Looking For:
• Demonstrable research experience with culture, fandom, audiences, content, or editorial
• Hands-on experience leading qualitative and quantitative research; a strong balance of creative and analytical skills with the ability to proactively define research questions, identify appropriate methods, execute studies, and synthesize findings
