Netflix is one of the world's leading entertainment services, with over 300 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 Team
CPOP Partner Integration & Operations works with a diverse partner ecosystem consisting of studios, broadcasters, creators, licensors, publishers, media processing, post production facilities, creative agencies, and metadata/tagging specialists. Collectively, these partners are responsible for delivering assets that enable the ideal member experience to discover, promote, and stream titles on service across our library of titles. The team's north star is the development of partnerships that are nimble, nuanced and set a new bar for the industry.
The Role
The Partner Integration Manager sits at a crucial juncture between our highly valued Content Partners, our internal launch teams, and our external Fulfillment Partners. In this role you will work across Product teams like New Content Experiences, Product Merchandising, and Engineering to enable new delivery and ingestion pathways to meet an increasingly higher bar for our members. You will execute reviews of content partner assets and continue on as a key support and touchpoint throughout deal discussions and eventual Netflix delivery. You will also be the connection point to our fulfillment partner networks and ensure clarity on scope of services, delivery specifications, and quality standards, rates, and KPIs.
You will have a deep knowledge of media processing as well as Netflix specifications and technology to aid both content and vendor partners in delivery. You will have the additional opportunity to cross train with our extended partner ecosystem and their related expertise (Metadata, creative promotion, etc) to be an advocate (vs. an expert). You will develop deep relationships with each of these teams in support of advancing the speed and quality of our licensed content delivery and ingestion systems.
This particular role will level as a “player leader” aiding the Partnerships director in key decisions related to systems roadmaps, workflows and technology roadmaps, as well as future growth of support models to ensure successful delivery of the businesses licensing ambitions and the ideal member experience on our service.
