The Challenge
Netflix is hunting for a marketing leader who can crack the kids & family space-where you're juggling preschoolers, tweens, parents, and entire households with different discovery behaviors. You'll own end-to-end campaigns for Netflix's animated, unscripted, and event series, building franchises that extend beyond the screen.
Your Mission
Establish yourself as the subject matter expert on preschool/kids marketing strategy across UCAN's slate; conduct deep consumer insight audit across age segments (Preschool, Kids, Tweens, Family Co-Viewing)
Launch 2-3 hero title campaigns from strategy through creative brief, demonstrating fluency across YouTube, influencer partnerships, and parent-targeting tactics
Map cross-functional dependencies and build alignment with content, consumer products, regional marketing, and creative teams on campaign positioning and go-to-market strategy
Build filmmaker and talent relationships for 3-4 upcoming launches; deliver compelling creative briefs that translate insights into actionable direction
Own full campaign lifecycle for 4-5 major Kids & Family series releases; demonstrate measurable engagement and conversion lift across segments
Partner with Consumer Products to identify 2-3 franchise expansion opportunities; shape character/world positioning that drives loyalty and repeat engagement
Develop playbook for age-segment-specific campaign strategies (parent-driven discovery vs. kid-fandom vs. co-viewing); document best practices and templates
Lead cross-functional task forces and brainstorming sessions; establish yourself as trusted strategic advisor to content and product leadership

Is This Role For You?
- You have 5-7 years of marketing experience in kids, family, or youth entertainment (animated series, toy franchises, children's brands)
- You understand the distinct psychology of Preschool (parent-gated), Kids (peer-influenced fandom), and Family Co-Viewing audiences-and can tailor strategy/creative/platform mix accordingly
- You're fluent in 360 marketing tactics: YouTube strategy, influencer partnerships, community building, events, co-marketing, and earned media for families
- You're a strategic creative thinker who can write killer briefs, manage talent/filmmakers with empathy, and rally cross-functional teams around bold campaign ideas
- You're comfortable in a fast-moving, data-informed environment where you own end-to-end campaign success and iterate based on real-time performance
- You've only done B2B or adult-focused marketing; the psychology of marketing to kids and parents is fundamentally different
- You need high autonomy but struggle with heavy cross-functional dependencies (Netflix marketing requires deep collaboration with Content, Product, Consumer Products, Regional teams)
- You're not genuinely interested in kids & family entertainment or don't have a point-of-view on age-appropriate storytelling and brand safety
