Senior Product Design Manager, Ads Platform

Netflix is one of the world's leading entertainment services, with 283 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.

***Flexible Remote Model: This role is a hybrid role. The business will require onsite engagement weekly while offering flexibility to work from home. Onsite/Remote depends on the business needs and priority of onsite business meetings, and working from home in low-engagement weeks.

We are seeking a highly ambitious, visionary, and systems-minded Product Design Manager to lead our world-class Ads Platform Experience Design Team. The team is very high-performing and requires an exceptional leader with deep domain and craft expertise, with strong emotional intelligence.

You'll be a foundational member of the advertising leadership team, working together with your partners in product, engineering, data science, consumer insights, content design, and other disciplines to define the strategy, operations and communications that enable Netflix to build a wildly successful advertising business. 

You measure success in terms of both human and business impact. You foster excellence through collaboration and encourage an inclusive, open environment that makes space for different perspectives and work styles. You inspire creativity and you’re an excellent advocate, evangelist, and listener who seeks and offers candid, constructive feedback. 

You will lead as a domain expert within our technical product design team, delivering a delightful, engaging, and relevant ads experience for Netflix advertisers and business stakeholders.

This hybrid-friendly role offers flexibility, with weekly onsite presence required to collaborate with stakeholders in Los Angeles and Los Gatos, CA - with quarterly travel to New York, NY. Candidates located in California or the Pacific time zone are preferred, but exceptions can be made for the right candidate.

The Team

We recently launched a new ad-supported tier to offer our members more choice in how they consume their content. Our new tier allows us to attract new members at a lower price point, while also creating a compelling path for advertisers to reach audiences that are deeply immersed.

Our Ads Platform XD team designs technology, workflows, and capabilities that power Netflix’s advertising business.  We also design the foundational capabilities and technology for the next-generation of Netflix experiences, like Live entertainment.

We design the advertising systems and integrations that power the delivery of ads using our world class content delivery ecosystem. We deliver ads in a manner that’s thoughtful of our members’ viewing experience and drives great outcomes for advertisers. 

Our team is growing quickly, and yet faced with the ambitions of building highly performant advertising systems and delivering high impact to our business by monetizing our incredible slate of content. As one of the newest entrants in the Connected TV advertising space that’s rapidly growing, we seek to build unique value propositions that differentiate Netflix from other ad-supported streaming services.

Our team’s primary superpower is the ability to design creatively and collaboratively in highly technical environments – from core services that power Netflix’s streaming technology to industry-leading partnership platforms.

You’ll be the Product Design Manager for this team, reporting into the Director, you’ll lead, amplify, and grow one of the most talented and trailblazing design teams in the world.
