Execute 3-4 major product launches with documented success criteria and post-launch analysis; use learnings to refine GTM playbook
Create a replicable beta testing and measurement framework that regional teams can execute independently; document results to inform product roadmap

Is This Role For You?
- You've spent 7+ years in ads product marketing or B2B strategy-you know the programmatic ecosystem, ad tech stack, and how advertisers think
- You thrive building playbooks and scaling processes; you're as comfortable with spreadsheets and metrics as you are with narrative and positioning
- You can translate between Product (technical), Sales (quota-focused), and regional teams (localization); you're a master of alignment and cross-functional influence
- You've launched products at scale and can obsess over launch metrics, beta testing, and continuous improvement
- You're energized by ambition and growth; Netflix's ads business is only 2 years old, so you'll shape a category
- You need remote flexibility or want to avoid on-site work; Netflix has a structured office-centric model
- You prefer deep subject-matter expertise over operational leadership; this role is about building systems, people, and repeatability
- You're uncomfortable with fast decision-making and ambiguity; Netflix moves quickly and pivots based on data
