Job description

At Netflix, our mission is to entertain the world. Together, we are writing the next episode - pushing the boundaries of storytelling, global fandom and making the unimaginable a reality. We are a dream team obsessed with the uncomfortable excitement of discovering what happens when you merge creativity, intuition and cutting-edge technology. Come be a part of what’s next.

The Corporate Financial Planning and Analysis (‘FP&A’) team at Netflix is responsible for company-wide financial planning, forecasting, and strategic analysis. Financial planning at Netflix spans teams that are functionally aligned (e.g., a Content planning team focused on Content planning/forecasting, a Marketing planning team focused on Marketing, and so on). The Corporate FP&A team partners closely with all of these teams, among others, to create a comprehensive consolidated financial and operational outlook and plays a key role in developing analyses and reports for senior leadership to understand how the company is performing at the global consolidated level.

Corporate FP&A is entering its next phase. We’re investing in the team, modernizing how we model, reconcile, and report, and bringing AI into the way we work. We’re looking for a Manager who will work closely with the Corporate FP&A team and functional finance partners to help shape and run the global forecasting and planning process. This is an individual contributor role with broad ownership. The position is based in our corporate headquarters in Los Gatos and reports to the Senior Manager of Corporate FP&A.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Forecast & Planning Process: You’ll keep a fast-moving planning ecosystem in sync. Contribute to the planning calendar and the corporate-level forecast cycle, including mid-quarter and pre-close checkpoints. You’ll communicate timelines, deliverables, and expectations clearly to planning stakeholders.
• P& L Management: You’ll know our P&L well. Own defined pieces of P&L forecasting, reconciliation, and analysis, such as variable expense categories, and explain the drivers behind them. This work involves close integration with functional finance partners, Revenue Analytics, and the rest of the Corp FP&A team.
• Long-Range Planning: You’ll help shape our financial outlook. Coordinate the long-range planning process across Content, Product, Revenue Analytics, and other functions, and help align the company around key financial and operational objectives.
• Management Reporting: You’ll tell financial stories. Develop and improve the reporting that supports decision-making for senior management, including the CFO, Investor Relations, and the Board of Directors. This includes recurring reviews, standard reporting templates, and the processes behind them.
• Partnership: You’ll be a trusted partner to the functions. Build close relationships with functional finance teams, translate their context into clear narrative, and help shape the frameworks leadership uses to make growth, investment, and planning decisions.
• Collaboration & Team Development: You’ll make the whole team stronger. Work side by side with Associates and fellow Managers, set clear priorities for the work you own, share what you know, and step in across the team’s work as priorities shift.
• Continuous Improvement: You’ll keep making the way we work smarter. Seek ways to simplify, automate, and document how we plan, forecast, and report, including thoughtful use of AI and other automation practices, so the team’s knowledge compounds and scales each cycle.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in an FP&A, Strategic Finance, or Planning role, ideally at a public company
• Experience owning parts of a financial planning or forecasting process at the business unit or corporate level
• Working knowledge of financial planning tools (e.g., TM1, Anaplan, Looker, etc.) and key accounting concepts
• Strong quantitative and financial analysis skills, with a track record of turning analysis into recommendations
• Extremely proficient with spreadsheets and slides; experience building and automating management reports
• Strong written and verbal communication, including summarizing complex topics for senior audiences
• Natural talent for systems and design thinking; ability to map workflows, identify bottlenecks, and redesign scalable processes from first principles
• Curiosity around AI and automation frameworks; practical experience with capturing and leveraging context at scale, and low-code tools to extract insights and automate workflows
• Bachelor’s Degree; Master’s Degree a plus
