Merchandising Lead NCX

At Netflix, our mission is to entertain the world. Together, we are writing the next episode—pushing the boundaries of storytelling, global fandom and making the unimaginable a reality. 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. Lead Merchandisers are responsible for the scaled strategic guidance of title promotions for all new content types on Netflix (inclusive of Podcast, Sports (highlights and recaps), Vertical Video and more). You will be an expert in the various Merchandising surfaces and tactics, including their impact to title/slate performance and member experience as well as existing merchandising Playbooks, acting as a point of escalation for local title merchandisers and regional leaders where that expertise is required. You will use this knowledge to help deliver best‑in‑class presentations for a variety of title types, ensuring experiences on Netflix match their business motivation and member needs. Regionally, you implement the processes to enable this (title reviews, quarterly merch planning, prioritization of regional requests). Where playbooks do not yet exist, or have gaps, you will leverage your own knowledge and your partnership with the global functional team to define solutions. You will also provide the context and feedback back to ensure playbooks evolve as necessary. Importantly, you understand dashboards and analytics, informing and evaluating your own decision‑making. You are a point of escalation for all merchandising overrides or exceptions in the region, a responsibility you exercise with global perspective and in partnership with lead merchandisers of other regions.

Key responsibilities include:

• Ensure title merchandising in the region abides by existing principles and guidelines at scale.

• Escalation for your input should be required You will not create new title merchandising playbooks or guidelines (this responsibility lies with the functional team). Greenlight or execute partner ideas for merchandising independently (this responsibility lies with global core teams). Be the single point of Product contact for regional partners (Content, Marketing, PR, etc.).
