Responsibilities

Set the strategy: define and drive the multi-quarter product vision for CI&D, connecting ingestion, distribution, and platform investments to measurable reductions in manual intervention and turnaround time across content archetypes.
Own the products that make delivering to Netflix effortless: unified direct delivery via APIs, web portals, and standards-based feeds; spec-agnostic ingestion; partner onboarding and permissioning; metadata capture; and automated asset evaluation and QC.
Lead distribution & the path to publish: own the orchestration that simplifies the path between ingestion and launch — automation as the default launch path, an extensible catalog architecture that lets new content bets evolve safely, and reliable fulfillment to the platforms and systems the business depends on.
Partner with operations and key cross-functional team: act as the primary product partner to operational teams; translate operational pain points into a prioritized backlog and pair operational KPIs (turnaround time, launch readiness, issues per launch, manual steps reduced) with product investment. Work with partner domains to streamline asset workflows and launches.
Lead and grow a team: hire, coach, and develop a team of Product Managers; set clear goals, raise the bar on product craft, and create the conditions for your PMs to do the best work of their careers.
Drive cross-functional alignment: partner across Rights, Encoding Technologies, Localization, Content Foundations, Member Product, and Operations to sequence dependencies, drive effective debate, and land crisp decisions.
Communicate with clarity: use top-notch written and verbal communication to provide context to stakeholders ranging from individual engineers to senior leadership, and to uncover new areas of opportunity.
