Netflix is the world’s leading streaming entertainment service with over 230 million paid memberships in over 190 countries enjoying series, documentaries and feature films across a wide variety of genres and languages. As our slate of original productions and licensed content increases, we must scale and formalize management of studio data to meet the changing needs of the business.

We are looking for a Data Lead to join the Studio Data Management team within Content & Business Products (CBP), which creates applications that drive innovation in content creation.

In this role, you will focus on data related to the deals Netflix makes with talent and companies for the content we put on service. Deal data is used throughout studio operations, from pitch to play, and it’s critical that this information is accurate, complete and connected. In this role, you will help define, analyze and report on data quality standards to meet business requirements, devise and socialize best practices, and create and execute processes to monitor and fix data efficiently. You will work with product squads on projects related to product development while also guiding improvements to foundational data health.

A successful candidate will love digging into large data sets to find patterns and diagnose problems, have the agility to pivot between heads-down project execution and user-focused problem-solving, and be excited by the opportunity to be part of an evolving team.
