Job Description
At Netflix, our mission is to entertain the world. Together, we are writing the next episode - pushing the boundaries of storytelling, global fandom and making the unimaginable a reality. We are a dream team obsessed with the uncomfortable excitement of discovering what happens when you merge creativity, intuition and cutting-edge technology. Come be a part of what’s next. Messaging is one of the most direct ways we speak to our members: from building excitement around new offerings like podcasts or games, to helping someone recover their account. Our messages span the entire member lifecycle across push, email, SMS, and in-app channels, reaching hundreds of millions of members worldwide. The Messaging PM team is responsible for innovating on these capabilities, working closely with internal customers and stakeholders to leverage messaging effectively in a variety of product use cases. Role Overview We are seeking a Product Manager to lead the Messaging Enablement Platform (MEP). In this role, you will define and drive the vision, strategy, and roadmap for the tools, workflows, and platform capabilities that empower internal teams across Netflix to create, manage, and optimize messages that delight our members. At its core, MEP is about building the technology backbone that enables a diverse set of internal stakeholders, from content and marketing teams to product and engineering, to leverage Netflix's messaging capabilities at scale, with the right guardrails and the right level of self-serve flexibility. You will be the connective tissue between the teams that rely on this platform and the engineering team that builds it. You will develop a deep understanding of what each internal team needs, synthesize those inputs into a coherent platform strategy, and translate that strategy into a prioritized roadmap that reflects the highest-leverage opportunities across all stakeholders. You will lead a cross-functional team of stunning colleagues across engineering, design, and data science, and collaborate with other enablement teams across Netflix to identify and build on common foundations. Location This role is based in our Los Gatos office (preferred) in a hybrid model, but we are open to remote candidates on the West Coast, with some travel to Los Gatos and Los Angeles required. What We Offer As a PM At Netflix, You Will Make a meaningful contribution: We're looking for experienced product leaders who are strategic and eager to roll up their sleeves. Take on big responsibility: Netflix offers PMs autonomy and substantial scope. Be expected to learn every day and to enjoy being curious: You will be building capabilities that don't yet exist. You will work with stunning colleagues who value collaboration and from whom you can learn. Contribute to and benefit from an environment where you can grow your career: Many of our top execs started out as individual contributors. Who Will Be Successful in This Role? Stakeholder-first mindset & partnership: Genuinely curious about what internal teams need and why. Skilled at listening deeply, asking the right questions, and synthesizing diverse, sometimes competing, perspectives into a coherent point of view. Creates a collaborative dynamic where internal customers feel heard, understand tradeoffs, and are invested in shared outcomes. Builds an equally tight, trust-based relationship with the engineering team that builds MEP. Visionary & systems thinker: Able to take a wide range of stakeholder inputs and translate them into a clear, well-reasoned vision, strategy, and prioritized roadmap. Makes the hard calls on what to build and what to defer, and provides clarity even when the path forward is ambiguous. Comfortable with complex, interconnected systems; adept at identifying the highest-leverage opportunities and designing scalable, flexible solutions that serve multiple use cases. Communication & influence: Demonstrates clear, direct, and adaptable written and verbal communication. Able to translate complex technical concepts for diverse audiences, communicate both high-level vision and detailed requirements, and align cross-functional partners around shared goals.
