About Talent Analytics:
Talent Analytics focuses on generating meaningful insights from people data that can help leaders inform decisions around our business, our workforce, and our Talent strategy, programs and practices.

The team partners with leaders across Netflix and the Talent organization to understand the business context for key questions or challenges that the organization is seeking to address. While the team works most closely with our Global Business Practices (GBP) teams to influence and inform decisions at a program level, some projects bring the group into direct collaboration with business leaders and their HRBPs. The team leverages its diverse backgrounds and an interdisciplinary approach to define the solution best suited to address the question at hand, whether it’s designing data and insights products, developing measurement strategy for new programs or leveraging advanced analytical and statistical methods to deeply understand a topic.

Strong business acumen and a user-centric approach
Ease operating in a complex, cross-functional, geo-distributed organization
Experience designing listening strategies that are culturally sensitive and effective across global, diverse populations
Highly adaptable and comfortable navigating ambiguity and change
