The role involves identifying measurement gaps, applying statistical methods, and collaborating with various teams to influence content strategy.
Requirements
- Advanced degree (PhD or Master's) in Statistics, Economics, Quantitative Social Sciences, Operations Research, Mathematics, or related field
- 5+ years applying statistical methods and causal inference to real-world product or business problems
- Deep measurement expertise—metric design, bias detection, trade-off analysis
- Strong foundation in experimental design, regression analysis, and causal inference methods
- Proficiency in SQL and quantitative programming (Python or R)
- Ability to work independently: identifying impactful problems, scoping research, and driving projects from ambiguous starting points
- Excellent communication and influence across organizational levels
- Intellectual curiosity and proactive mindset
Responsibilities
- Design and validate measurement frameworks that accurately capture content quality, engagement, and business value
- Autonomously identify measurement gaps and pursue research with significant business impact
- Apply causal inference, observational analysis, and statistical modeling to understand drivers of content value and member satisfaction
- Ensure metrics measure what they intend to, identifying potential biases and unintended consequences
- Partner across Content, Product, Finance, and Engineering to align measurement approaches with business needs
- Serve as a strategic thought partner to stakeholders, influencing content and product strategy
- Contribute to team growth through documentation, mentorship, and knowledge sharing
- Build well-documented datasets, tools, and analytical frameworks
- Present research clearly to technical and non-technical audiences
Benefits
- Employees at Netflix are often offered flexible, people-first benefits—unlimited time away, generous parental leave, global family-forming support, mental-health programs (mindfulness, free counseling/coaching), and health coverage tailored by country. Financially, Netflix pays at personal top-of-market and lets employees choose their mix of cash vs. fully-vested 10-year stock options, alongside donation and volunteer matching. Convenience perks can include trust-based travel/expense policies, relocation support, and “Work, Not Drive” rideshare flexibility.
