Job Details

Netflix is one of the world’s leading entertainment services with 278 million paid memberships in over 190 countries enjoying TV series, films and games across a wide variety of genres and languages. Members can play, pause and resume watching as much as they want, anytime, anywhere, and can change their plans at any time.

The Role

We are seeking a seasoned Managing Editor to join our UCAN (United States/Canada) team. The ideal candidate is an expert on tech, media and editorial operations; we are particularly interested in candidates who have experience working in overseeing production at scale and have worked with external vendors.

Responsibilities 

Together with other global Managing Editors, you’ll oversee the scaled production of clear, engaging and accurate copy about titles on Netflix — this will be through a combination of working with partners in product development and engineering, writers and editors (both internal and external), localization, audio/visual media, and content design.

You’ll apply your expertise and passion to cross-functional innovation projects, collaborating with visual media, analysis, localization, design and product teams. Since we are part of a distributed team, you’ll use Slack, Google Workspace, email and other digital tools to communicate about assignments, projects and publishing deadlines. 

As Managing Editor, it is your job to ensure that our initiatives are adequately resourced with what they need: you’ll help our in-house Writing Strategists find the right writers and editors for their projects and give context to our engineering teams as they build tools to improve our workflow. You’ll also guide innovation programs and implement their findings. While this is not a people manager role, previous management experience will set you up for success.

What Will Help You Succeed

  • Exceptional writing, editing, and proofreading skills. You must have multiple examples of published work in credible media outlets

  • Deep content and cultural knowledge about media, including current trends in entertainment. Simply put, you’re a superfan who keeps up with film and TV — and you can help Netflix members around the globe get excited about our titles

  • Experience managing writing teams. Our source copy is written in English, so you must have the professional authority to enforce standards among a team of high-performing writers. Whether the assignment at hand is a trailer script for a highbrow film, a synopsis for blockbuster action movie or an animated educational series for kids, you understand that different types of content should have copy tailored to their respective tones

  • Program management experience. You must be comfortable driving projects with multiple workstreams, creating thorough documentation, and communicating with teams across functions and regions

  • Deep understanding and experience with UCAN entertainment markets

  • Experience with managing creative work at scale and working with outsourced/external fulfillment models

  • Expertise in product development and innovation. We’re looking for someone who’s constantly looking for ways to improve the member experience through experimentation and testing, and has experience working with product, design and engineering teams

  • The ability to understand and simplify complex technical concepts. This role will interact with with technical and creative teams and needs to communicate effectively with both

  • A commitment to our team’s core values, like candid feedback, responsibility, passion and curiosity

Key Responsibilities

  • Copyediting high-profile synopsis suites

  • Uphold creative quality at scale by assessing published copy through scorecards and in-depth evaluations

  • Leverage scaling methods to forecast and direct assignment allocation, partnering closely with regional leads to deliver tasks on time

  • Partner on key innovation initiatives and implement with internal and external partners

  • Identify region-specific workflow issues and proactively address discrepancies

Good-to-Haves

  • People management experience

  • Bilingual in English and Spanish or Portuguese

  • Experience working with global brands

  • Experience with A/B testing

  • Experience with emerging technology, such as Generative AI

Generally, our compensation structure consists solely of an annual salary; we do not have bonuses. You choose each year how much of your compensation you want in salary versus stock options. To determine your personal top of market compensation, we rely on market indicators and consider your specific job family, background, skills, and experience to determine your compensation in the market range. The range for this role is $70,000 - $370,000.

Netflix provides comprehensive benefits including Health Plans, Mental Health support, a 401(k) Retirement Plan with employer match, Stock Option Program, Disability Programs, Health Savings and Flexible Spending Accounts, Family-forming benefits, and Life and Serious Injury Benefits. We also offer paid leave of absence programs.  Full-time hourly employees accrue 35 days annually for paid time off to be used for vacation, holidays, and sick paid time off. Full-time salaried employees are immediately entitled to flexible time off. See more detail about our Benefits .

We approach diversity and inclusion seriously and thoughtfully. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, ancestry, national origin, caste, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or expression, age, disability, medical condition, pregnancy, genetic makeup, marital status, or military service.
