With more than 300 million members in over 190 countries, Netflix continues to shape the future of entertainment around the world. At the core of our member experience is the need to help members choose a great movie, show, or game that suits their context. Personalization is a long-standing strategy to bring great recommendations to our members, yet there is headroom to be even better by leveraging new AI technological advancements and in the context of Netflix's increasingly broad consumer offering. Leveraging available data, you will craft and communicate a strategic roadmap for core personalization and see to its execution leading cross-functional teams of the industry’s best AI scientists and engineers, consumer insights researchers, and human data sourcing partners. As a high-leverage thought leader, you will have the ability to shape our thinking on how to evolve our product, and have a massive impact on how members enjoy our service.
