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.
As the Director of Operations for New Content Experiences (NCX), you will be the operational architect behind the next era of Netflix entertainment. Operating in a high-impact 'start-up' environment within a global powerhouse, you will lead a multidisciplinary team tasked with bringing 0-to-1 experiences, including Live Events, Games, Podcasts, and emerging formats to life for millions of members. If you thrive on transforming abstract creative visions into scalable, flawless global launches, this is your opportunity to define the future of media consumption
You will lead a multifunctional team of Lead Program Managers, Creative Operations Program Managers, Launch Managers, and Launch Coordinators.

As the leader of this multifunctional team, you should be comfortable in “start-up” mode and building high-profile 0–1 teams in new, emerging areas for the business. You will interface daily with executive leadership and cross-functional experts across Content, Game Studio, Content Ingestion & Distribution, Product Management, Engineering, Tech Operations, and Local Product Merchandising, vision brought to life by the Experience Design team and the real-life content deals that arrive on our doorstep at a rapid pace.

* Constantly work to scale and simplify the intake, operationalization, and contingency planning processes for new content experiences. Continuously pressure test and streamline workflows to ensure optimized speed to launch, risk management, and opportunities for enhancements.
* Cross-Functional Leadership: Serve as the critical bridge between Content, Engineering, Product Management, and Experience Design, translating complex content deals into clear operational workflows and technical roadmaps.
* Drive Launch Excellence: Oversee risk management, SLAs, and contingency planning to ensure flawless execution during high-stakes, time-sensitive critical launch windows (e.g., Live streams).
* Develop Top Talent: Mentor and grow a world-class multidisciplinary team of Program Managers, Launch Managers, and Creative Operations specialists, fostering a culture of innovation, speed, and
