Associate, Finance & Strategy, Partnerships

Job Description

The Role

Netflix derives a significant competitive advantage from the analytical approach it takes to managing all aspects of the business. As we continue to push for growth and retention in the EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) region, we are looking for an Associate to join our Partnerships Finance & Strategy team. This role will be focused on conducting regional and global partnership analyses and projects and analyzing partnership opportunities with local operators throughout the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) subregion.

Partnerships are a critical driver of growth for Netflix. The most common types of partnerships with local operators are bundles, followed by set-top box integrations. These impact millions of members, and our analyses play a critical role in the assessment and ongoing strategy for those partnerships in the region. During negotiations, we provide guidance to the Business Development team using data and analysis. When partnerships are launched, we monitor performance and identify opportunities for improvement. Finally, we work closely with our counterparts in other regions, as well as partner functions like Consumer Insights and Data Science, to conduct broad analyses to support strategy development and execution across the partnerships function to increase the impact of our partnerships.

This role will be based in Amsterdam and report to the EMEA Manager of Partnerships, Finance & Strategy. It will include travel to meet with partners in the CEE region and visit other Netflix offices (in EMEA as well as North America).

• Evaluating the potential financial impact of future partnerships for Netflix -- i.e.
• Benefits, costs and potential risks of each particular partnership

• Creating insightful presentations that facilitate decision-making for internal stakeholders and external partners
• Developing industry expertise for focus markets in EMEA, with a focus on CEE
• Providing inputs to other teams working on partnership initiatives (e.g. Product, Consumer Insights, Marketing)

Qualifications

Candidates are required to be highly analytical and effective communicators. Prior experience in management consulting or an equivalent analytical role is strongly preferred.

Requirements
• 3+ years of work experience, ideally in management consulting or similar fields in which modeling and strategic analysis is essential
