Partner Enablement Manager (L4) - Open Connect

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.

Delivering a substantial share of peak-time Internet traffic requires a close partnership with Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to maintain efficient and cost-effective content distribution. This is achieved through Open Connect, our purpose-built content delivery network dedicated to providing a seamless viewing experience for members.

You will touch on most aspects of the partner experience, including embedded Open Connect Appliance (OCA) site deployments, geolocation issues, new partner onboarding, troubleshooting OCAs and traffic patterns, and other maintenance and planning aspects of our partnership. Your overall goal will be to enable a scalable and supportive partner experience. You will also provide input and insight to internal teams, serving as an advocate for our partners, to further evolve and improve our partnership program over time.
