Netflix Senior Manager Production Operations Internal Studios 
United States, California, Los Angeles 
705885991

23.06.2024
You will report to the Director of Development for Internal Studios and work closely with the Internal Studios program management team to execute priority initiatives on behalf of Internal Studios. This may include deep dives on specific studios or products or portfolio-wide initiatives.
The successful candidate will have experience managing or leading multiple products through their full lifecycle - from ideation to live service, and have a history of successfully delivering games with a focus on player value with teams of varying sizes. They will have a deep stack of ‘seen that, done that,’ and be able to bring a deep toolkit of solutions yet retain the flexibility to tailor solutions to the team’s requirements.
You’ll be joining a leadership team who aspires to create ideal conditions for game developers to do their best work, and work with leaders to prioritize and execute on key projects.
Responsibilities
  • Deliver
  • Execute - Gather requirements, understand constraints, define acceptance criteria and be able to deliver a credible execution plan and deliver value against priority problems. Especially valuable is a desire to deliver ‘slices’ of incremental value to iterate and take on feedback. (This role will have a large number of ad-hoc projects, and will require the successful candidate to take an ill-defined problem space, define it better, come up with a plan for victory for alignment and then execute.)
  • - These projects could be Operations-based or Production-based.
  • Lead - The role will require the ability to establish and hold a vision, and then convince people (with both direct and indirect authority) to help on the mission.
  • Collaborate - This role will involve collaborating with stakeholders and teams with their own priorities. Strong communication and collaboration skills will be needed for the candidate to be successful in creating alignment and hitting the goal.
  • Advise - Drawing on the depth of experience from multiple cycles of game development, the successful candidate would be able to spot problem areas from far away, and advise teams and stakeholders on them. Helping the internal leadership group and development teams assess the risk and take commensurate action is a key value of this position
  • Advocate - As with any large organization, there are many teams with competing priorities. The successful candidate will be able to internally evaluate whether or not something needs to be prioritized, and then be able to successfully influence other teams to support, even without direct authority. However, escalation is also warranted for cases where the candidate feels that this is a fight worth fighting.
  • Report - Surface impediments and barriers where needed while working directly to break down hindrances for development teams.
Requirements
  • 10+ years of experience in producing multiple games for their full lifespan (prototype to sunset), ideally for PC, Mobile, and console platforms. (No seriously, you need a lot of experience and a lot of product cycles to be successful in this role)
  • History of successfully delivering products to players on multiple platforms and across multiple teams, including data-informed live operations and player support
  • Deep empathy and understanding on what it means to be a player and a developer - likely because they walk daily in those shoes.
  • Experience in sourcing and managing outsourcers and co-dev partners
Ideal requirements
  • Differing roles in production, across small and large studios and small/large projects.
Location
  • Los Angeles preferred but remote OK (±3 Time Zones of California)
