Product Manager, Production Finance

Netflix is one of the world’s leading entertainment services, with over 300 million paid memberships in over 190 countries enjoying TV series, films and games across a wide variety of genres and languages. Members can play, pause and resume watching as much as they want, anytime, anywhere, and can change their plans at any time.

The Content and Business Product organization is a key driver of this growth. We build solutions that fuel the operations and insights needed to plan, produce, and promote great content at Netflix, empowering our global teams to constantly delight our members! Every year, Netflix spends billions producing content, and our Content Finance teams are involved throughout the lifecycle.

We’re looking for a Product Manager to join the Production Finance Product team as we build the next generation of financial systems that power how films and shows get made. Our products sit at the center of creative and financial decision-making — enabling studios to greenlight projects, manage billions in production spend, and adapt in real time as productions evolve.

As a strategic product leader, you’ll develop enterprise-grade budgeting, cost reporting, and financial planning tools purpose-built for the fast-moving, high-stakes world of global content production. Partnering with Finance, Engineering, Design, Data Science, and studio production teams, you’ll build systems that drive financial accountability, operational precision, and creative flexibility across thousands of productions and some of the most complex logistical environments in the industry.

We’re looking for someone who can fluidly navigate between end users and product development teams — applying strong product thinking, structured problem solving, and strategic frameworks — while being equally passionate about financial accuracy, data integrity, and delivering intuitive, scalable user experiences that users trust to run their productions.

• Leading cross-functional teams, including design, engineering, and data science to discover and execute opportunities.
