For Netflix to continue to scale and produce quality content, the Studio and Corporate business teams work closely with product partners to innovate and develop technical solutions that increase operational efficiency across their functions. On the Studio side, these solutions support the entire content life cycle - planning, programming, producing, distributing and promoting content on a global scale; on the corporate side, they support functions such as Finance, Legal and Talent. These solutions include internal enterprise applications that support critical functions, as well as short-term technical solutions that increase operational efficiency at the business user level on a smaller, rapidly iterative scale. STS works directly with business stakeholders, cross-functional product teams, and engineering partners to deliver these short-term solutions. The team's goal is to translate business challenges and opportunities for operational improvement into focused, nimble, and highly impactful solutions as an integral part of the Netflix Studio product and enterprise ecosystem.
