About this role
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.
We are looking to grow our Consumer Products team to help amplify member joy and strengthen brand affinity around the Netflix brand and our beloved titles. We do this by developing creative and relevant ways for our members and fans to interact with Netflix off-screen.
Consumer products drive meaningful show awareness and buzz with product stories that allow fans to express their love for our brand and titles, while also generating meaningful revenue. Ideally, our products connect members to our content, and to each other, by bringing their favorite stories to life.

The role requires a results-driven, entrepreneurial leader with a strong background in business development, commercial strategy, and team leadership.
