Group Product Manager, Content Ingestion & Distribution

Netflix is on a mission to entertain the world and is seeking a Group Product Manager for Content Ingestion & Distribution. This role involves owning the vision and strategy for content ingestion and distribution systems, collaborating with cross-functional teams to enhance operational efficiency and streamline workflows.

Responsibilities:

• Set the strategy: define and drive the multi-quarter product vision for CI&D, connecting ingestion, distribution, and platform investments to measurable reductions in manual intervention and turnaround time across content archetypes
• Own the products that make delivering to Netflix effortless: unified direct delivery via APIs, web portals, and standards-based feeds; spec-agnostic ingestion; partner onboarding and permissioning; metadata capture; and automated asset evaluation and QC
• Lead distribution & the path to publish: own the orchestration that simplifies the path between ingestion and launch — automation as the default launch path, an extensible catalog architecture that lets new content bets evolve safely, and reliable fulfillment to the platforms and systems the business depends on
• Partner with operations and key cross-functional team: act as the primary product partner to operational teams; translate operational pain points into a prioritized backlog and pair operational KPIs (turnaround time, launch readiness, issues per launch, manual steps reduced) with product investment. Work with partner domains to streamline asset workflows and launches
• Lead and grow a team: hire, coach, and develop a team of Product Managers; set clear goals, raise the bar on product craft, and create the conditions for your PMs to do the best work of their careers
• Drive cross-functional alignment: partner across Rights, Encoding Technologies, Localization, Content Foundations, Member Product, and Operations to sequence dependencies, drive effective debate, and land crisp decisions
• Communicate with clarity: use top-notch written and verbal communication to provide context to stakeholders ranging from individual engineers to senior leadership, and to uncover new areas of opportunity

Requirements:

• 10+ years of product management experience for B2B focused products
• A track record shipping complex technical or platform products ideally in content supply chain, media processing, ingestion/distribution pipelines, workflow orchestration, developer/partner platforms, or large-scale operational systems
• Strong systems thinking and technical acumen: comfort reasoning about pipelines, APIs, data models, automation, and the trade-offs between speed, quality, cost, and risk. You don't need to code, but you should work deeply with engineering
• Demonstrated ability to partner with operational teams and translate operational realities into product strategy and roadmap
• Data-driven analysis and decision-making, with excellent judgment and prioritization in ambiguous, high-scale environments
• Demonstrated experience collaborating across engineers, designers, data scientists, and business partners in a highly cross-functional, matrixed organization
• Outstanding written and verbal communication, including the ability to present technical content to non-technical audiences
• People leadership with experience developing talent, giving candid feedback, and elevating the craft of the PMs around them
• Experience building automation- or ML/AI-powered products that reduce manual effort at scale is a strong plus
• Experience in media, entertainment, or streaming is a strong plus
