[Hiring] Manager - Measurement Science & Analytics @Netflix

Role Description

We're looking for a manager to lead Measurement Science & Analytics (MSA), a team of senior data practitioners with a mix of technical skill sets. We want someone who can go deep on methodology with the team and who cares about helping each person on it do their best work.

• Hire and coach a team of senior individual contributors, giving them the context and room to lead their own work.
• Hold a high bar for the quality of the team's science and analysis, and give direct, useful feedback on methodology.
• Ensure each metric has a clear owner and is well maintained; support team members and get involved when decisions are needed.
• Develop a view on how our measurement should change over time, and shape it with business leaders in Content, Finance, and Product.
• Help partners determine what to measure when new questions arise, and how much rigor the answer needs.
• Set and maintain the practices the broader organization uses to build and validate measurements.
• Work with data engineering and product teams to ensure established metrics are reliable and well documented for users.

Qualifications

• 3+ years managing technical teams, ideally with a mix of technical skill sets, with a track record of hiring well and helping people grow.
• A strong coach who gives candid feedback with care, helps people see where they can grow, and develops senior individual contributors into leaders.
• An advanced degree in statistics, economics, or another quantitative field, or equivalent experience.
• A background as a hands-on data scientist, with depth in areas such as statistical modeling, causal inference, or experimentation.
• Experience designing and validating metrics, including proxy metrics, checking a metric against the outcome it stands in for, and understanding its variance.
• Experience running metrics in production across organizations, including definitions, governance, and change management.
• Experience explaining analysis and its limits to senior, non-technical audiences.
• Comfort working on problems that haven't been defined yet.
• A deep curiosity about the mix of art and science that goes into making great content; experience in entertainment is a plus but not required.

Requirements

• Enthusiasm for and compatibility with Netflix culture.

Benefits

• 401(k) Retirement Plan with employer match.
• Stock Option Program.
• Disability Programs.
• Health Savings and Flexible Spending Accounts.
