Product Manager, Content Fulfillment

Netflix is one of the world’s leading streaming entertainment services with over 260 million paid memberships in over 190 countries enjoying TV series, documentaries, feature films and mobile games across a wide variety of genres and languages. Members can play, pause and resume watching as they want, anytime, anywhere, and can change their plans at any time.

Content Promotion & Distribution (CPD) sits at the intersection of the consumer experience and the Netflix Studio. Our team is integral to making the Netflix experience feel personal and relevant by developing innovative approaches to how we catalog, promote, localize, and distribute content. Because our products touch both members and content creators, we seek someone who can fluidly move between both worlds, applying strong product principles and strategic frameworks to the member experience while deeply empathizing with the art and craft required to create great content.

The Role

We are looking for a Product Manager to advance our portfolio of products that manage all the playable media assets consumed by over 260 million members worldwide. The Content Fulfillment PM is responsible for the systems and services that enable our business users around the world to order, route, prepare, deliver, validate, process, and track over 3M VOD assets annually; the critical content systems needed to ensure the accurate and timely fulfillment and evaluation of each and every playable media asset. You’ll develop innovative solutions to further scale how media assets are delivered, managed, and assembled for playback, including live streaming technology to support a growing programming slate of live events. You’ll optimize our quality control systems and workflows while innovating on how we protect the Netflix experience. You’ll partner closely with product managers across Globalization, Promotional Media, Marketing Technology, and adjacent Studio product areas.

This will be a remote-friendly role, with the freedom to set a flexible work-from-home schedule. This role would be best for candidates located in the Pacific time zone, as bi-monthly in-person travel may be necessary to collaborate with stakeholders and partners in Los Angeles, CA, and Los Gatos, CA. That said, we can always make exceptions in location for the right candidate.
