Our team is hiring a Product Manager for Mobile Create and Share to build products that help members create and share content in engaging ways off-and-on Netflix. This, in turn, creates a virtuous cycle of members returning to Netflix and builds increased brand love.

As a thought leader, you will have the ability to shape our thinking on how to evolve our product, and have a massive impact on how members enjoy our service. 

This role is based in our Los Gatos (preferred) or Los Angeles office in a hybrid model, but we are open to remote candidates who are on the West Coast. Some travel to Los Gatos and Los Angeles will be required.
