Content Design Manager, Growth & Customer Health

Full Time Job
Netflix is seeking an experienced Content Design Manager for our Growth and Customer Health teams.

About the Content Design Team

Content Designers partner with Product Designers, Product Managers and others to create our growth, product and messaging experiences. They develop testable strategic copy that enables people to easily sign up for and enjoy our service. It's a horizontal team that's part of Experience Design (XD).

About the Growth & Customer Health Teams

In this role, you'll manage two high-functioning Content Design teams.

Our Growth team's goal is to create relationships with new customers around the world, working across various channels to grow our membership base. We're dedicated to creating experiences that allow customers to have an ''aha!'' moment for Netflix as quickly and easily as possible.

Our Customer Health team's goal is to inspire, support, and connect with Netflix customers during every step of their journey through direct, personal, and meaningful communication. Content Designers do this through channels including in-product messaging and email.

About Managing at Netflix

Netflix has more than 180 million global subscribers, but in many ways we still function like a startup. The organization is flat, process is minimal and individual responsibility is big. Managers focus on sharing information to stimulate collaboration, hiring and developing teams rich in diverse perspectives, taking educated risks and incorporating data to formulate quality testable hypotheses.

As a leader, 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 diverse views and workstyles.

You know how to think critically about product flows and drive innovation ideas forward. You work cross-functionally with multiple teams and educate partners about the unique value Content Design brings. You strive to simplify complex problems, and support your ideas with data to get everyone on the same page.
