About The Position

At Netflix, our mission is to entertain the world. Together, we are writing the next episode - pushing the boundaries of storytelling, global fandom and making the unimaginable a reality. We are a dream team obsessed with the uncomfortable excitement of discovering what happens when you merge creativity, intuition and cutting-edge technology. Come be a part of what’s next. The Policy Strategy Partners (PSP) team sits within Netflix’s Global Affairs team, as a global, central function of deep policy specialists, who provide substantive advice and strategic guidance on our policy priorities and markets. We work closely with our regional Global Affairs leads and cross-functional partners in content, comms, marketing, legal and product to drive alignment, shape global business strategies, and ensure those strategies are locally resonant, accounting for cultural, legal, and regulatory nuances. The Senior Manager, Global Affairs Strategy & Engagement is a policy positioning and integration role: it will serve all of our global policy priority narratives, and focus on the substance, strategy, and alignment of our policy positions. The remit is to connect work across issues, shape a clear and coherent policy narrative for the company, and support the Global Affairs team broadly and senior leaders in carrying that narrative into important external settings. These narratives are distinct from, but complementary to, broader communications work: they are more deeply tailored to our policy backdrop and objectives, and centered on the substance of policy issues rather than more general messaging. This role is based in Los Angeles, CA, and will report to the Director, Global Affairs - Policy Strategy Partners Engagement based in Brussels.
