The Role

Like our members, we love entertainment and are big believers in the power of the consumer's voice when delivering best-in-class content.

As the Content Consumer Insights team, we work closely with business partners to inspire creative decision-making by providing rich insights into genres, content opportunities, audiences, and evolving content tastes. We strive to understand the underlying needs, motivations, and emotions that drive love for our TV shows and movies so we can help Netflix continue to create stories that will excite members around the world.

Within Content Consumer Insights, the Film pod focuses on all things related to movies on Netflix. This includes big-picture topics (e.g. understanding perceptions of our film offering) as well as title-specific work that spans the early stages of development through marketing and release. This is a high-impact role that will oversee a team of best-in-class researchers who are helping to shape Netflix films today and in the future.

What You Will Do

• Manage a team of researchers who own the relationships with key film Content & Marketing executives and creators (across the entire live-action film catalog)
• Develop roadmaps, prioritization mechanisms, and overall ways of working that help guide the film insights team to deliver maximum business impact
• Represent the research and overall POV of the consumer in film leadership forums
• Understand the direction of the Netflix business at large, and cascade critical context to the team to enable them to do their best work
• Develop innovative approaches to conducting research at each stage of the content lifecycle (e.g. development, production, post-release, etc.), and help drive the team toward new ways of thinking
• Partner with the other managers in Content Consumer Insights to identify collaboration opportunities and help shape the direction of the Content Consumer Insights team overall
• Partner with Regional Consumer Insights researchers to understand and inform Netflix films at a global level
