Sr. Data Science Manager, Member & Algo Intelligence DSE

Netflix is hiring a Senior Data Science Manager for its Member & Algo Intelligence DSE team. This is a people-leadership role for someone who has managed data science or analytics teams in algorithmically-focused products and wants to own measurement strategy for how content reaches members. The position is based in the United States.

The core function of the Netflix product is distributing entertainment offerings — TV series, film, games, live events, podcasts — to members through two main mechanisms: personalization algorithms and curated merchandising. The Personalization & Merchandising Science team works on content distribution, using experimentation, observational causal inference, analytics, statistical modeling, and econometrics. The team collaborates in cross-functional settings to identify, incubate, and enable experiences that surface the right content at the right time.

What you will do

• Lead a team of technical roles across data science and analytics engineering to shape the measurement and innovation strategy for the personalization and merchandising spaces, balancing the needs of multiple stakeholders to drive durable business impact.
• Own end-to-end outcomes for measurement and insights in your domain, ensuring the team delivers timely, decision-ready work that shapes product direction and development.
• Partner closely with other functions to frame the right problems, surface tradeoffs, and build a shared, causal understanding of content distribution.
• Set a clear vision and direction for the team, establishing priorities and operating norms that enable strong thought partnership, high-quality execution, and sustained impact.
• Act as a role model for Netflix values in day-to-day work and interactions, demonstrating strong judgment, candor, and accountability.

What they are looking for

• Demonstrated experience leading data science, analytics, or related technical teams in algorithmically-focused domains, with accountability for both setting direction and delivering outcomes.
• Strong analytical judgment and structured thinking, with the ability to move from messy data and ambiguous problems to clear insights, recommendations, and decisions.
• Exceptional communication and collaboration skills, including the ability to influence partners through clear framing, tradeoff articulation, and compelling data storytelling.
• A track record of operating effectively in ambiguous, fast-moving environments, exercising strong ownership and judgment with minimal process or oversight.
• A track record of building high-performing teams by developing senior ICs into trusted thought partners, increasing both their individual impact and the team's overall leverage.
• A Master's or PhD in a quantitative field, with deep expertise in applied data science and experimentation within consumer-facing, algorithmically-driven products.
