Additionally, this individual will lead a team that develops tools and strategies to monitor and advise on Content Investment and Programming Strategy based on both internal and competitive insights. Senior leadership depends heavily on this team to accurately model and forecast the business as well as to lead the strategic analysis that is used to inform important business decisions.

This role will reside in Netflix”s Los Angeles office.

A sample of work could include:

• Manage company-wide scheduling and slating conversations, adjusting slating decisions based on internal frameworks and metrics as well as conversations with our creative executives.
• Lead development of analytical frameworks around content programming, especially as it pertains to combining our internal data with third party data.
• Develop a deep understanding of industry trends and competitive strategies to inform content investment decisions.
