The Role

Netflix is releasing content at a pace and scale unlike any studio or broadcast channel in history: all around the world, at the same time for over 270 million members.

In this role, you will chart the operational and executional strategy across Ratings Policy, leading a team of highly-skilled ratings policy strategists.  These strategists are highly cross-functional ratings experts who manage content verticals and located across the globe. This team analyzes content at every point in its lifecycle: pre-greenlight, script stage, filming, editing, and go-live. This requires a level of expertise and knowledge of all types of content issues, as well as strong judgment, critical thinking and great communication skills. 

This is a highly cross-functional role.

You are an inspiring and inclusive leader, with experience developing and coaching teams towards shared common goals, collaborating with multiple stakeholder teams, and leading through influence, all while demonstrating strong judgment in the face of ambiguity.
 

This role will report into the Director of Ratings and Partnerships and will be based in Los Angeles, California.

A natural team leader with a proven track record of articulating team purpose and priorities, and rallying teams around these.

  • Resource & Capacity Planning. Plan and optimize team bandwidth across five content verticals with a robust slate of titles, ensuring adequate coverage and maximum impact. Contribute to long-term team planning and forecasting, anticipating roadblocks and volume spikes. 

  • Global & Regional Player.
