It’s an amazing time to join Netflix as we continue shaping the future of global entertainment. As Netflix expands globally, we look for the best and brightest talent to scale with and contribute to our growth. That’s where you come in.

We are seeking a highly quantitative, driven, and intellectually curious data analyst to join the Corporate SP&A team. The Corporate SP&A team at Netflix is responsible for company-wide financial planning, forecasting, and strategic analysis. We derive a significant competitive advantage from the highly analytical approach we take to managing the company, and the Corporate SP&A team plays a key role in this area. Senior leadership depends heavily on our SP&A groups to accurately model and forecast the business as well as to lead the strategic analysis that is used to inform important business decisions.

The analyst will serve as a data-guru for the Corporate SP&A team, supporting a wide range of data and analysis requests related to Netflix’s operating expenses and headcount growth. A successful candidate will be naturally data curious, excited about creating sustainable reporting, and not afraid to get in the weeds to understand and improve our financial and headcount forecast modeling/methodologies.

Ideal candidates enjoy problem-solving, building solutions, delivering actionable and data-driven insights, and working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment. The position is based in our Los Gatos office and will report to our Manager, Corporate SP&A - Data & Systems.
