The Role

Now as Netflix explores a broader world of entertainment – expanding into Games, Ads, and more –  we are looking for a content analyst to bring together all of our work in the rapidly expanding world of Live.

We’ve been part of the Live journey since Chris Rock kicked us off with Selective Outrage and along the way we’ve invented new ways of working, processes, and tools that transformed pre-launch analysis, classification, and title fulfillment work that once took days into a real-time Live machine. We’re ready to go to our second act: building a dedicated Live team that works to analyze, rate, and launch more member-delighting Live titles than ever before, including WWE Raw from January 2025.

To get there, we’ll need an adept and talented Content Analyst, to analyze, tag, research, and write detailed insights for Live series and events.

They are flexible, adaptive and curious in an ever-evolving organizational landscape.

Responsibilities:

• Analyze, tag, research, and write detailed insights for Live series and events, before, during and after the events.

• Build strong xfn partnerships with Product, Merchandising, Creative Services, Content, and Marketing at all levels across the business.

Qualifications:

• Prior experience in media as a writer or editor covering Live series and events, or experience as a Content Specialist, Insights Strategist, Metadata Analyst or Platform Editor with a focus on Live series and events

• Passionate about Live series and events with a deep knowledge of the global entertainment industry and the global streaming landscape

• Ability to adapt your work quickly to Live programming in flight 

• Excellent communication, presentation and cross-functional skills within a highly matrixed org structure

• Ability to master internal tools and systems successfully
