At Netflix, innovation is in our DNA and one way this shows up is through continuous improvements to the service for our members / non-members.
These improvements can span ideas like promotional tactics that help people to discover their new favorite show, new ways to enjoy content, or testing what the right trailer or piece of artwork will be for that member to press ‘play’.
We are looking for a senior executive to lead the Creative Production Innovation Management team.
This small but critical team is comprised of seasoned program managers who leverage their deep knowledge of the production, operations and delivery of content & promotional assets to partner with our Engineering, Product Management, Design and other teams within Netflix to develop, execute and deliver on A/B testing and other innovation initiatives.
