Principal Product Manager, Scaled Content Systems

Netflix is an entertainment and streaming company focused on delivering stories and experiences to members worldwide. The Principal Product Manager will define the strategy and own platforms, services, and tools that scale content ingestion, publishing, distribution, and partner workflows through automation and AI-powered systems.

Responsibilities:

• Set the strategy: define and drive the product vision for programmatic, scaled ingestion by investing in solutions that reduce manual effort, enable differentiated distribution workflows, and accelerate time-to-launch across a range of content types
• Own the products that make delivering media to Netflix effortless: unified direct delivery via APIs, web portals, and standards-based feeds; spec-agnostic ingestion; partner onboarding and permissioning
• Lead the path to automated publishing: work with domain PMs to simplify 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 across the platforms and systems the business depends on
• Partner with key cross-functional teams: act as the primary product partner to deal with partnership teams; translate deal terms into a prioritized backlog to invest in foundational capabilities. Work with partner domains to streamline asset workflows and launches
• Communicate with clarity: use crisp 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 or b2c focused products
• A track record of shipping complex technical or platform products
• Strong systems thinking and technical acumen: comfortable 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
• ideally in content supply chain, media processing, ingestion/distribution pipelines, workflow orchestration, developer/partner platforms, or large-scale operational systems
• 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
