Netflix is expanding its anti-piracy activities globally to protect content and the seriousness can be gauged from the fact that it has created a new post — coverage and insights manager.
“In order to better support the business as it scales, the Content Protection team is looking for a new Manager to lead our internal title protection and data analytic efforts,” the American streamer said in a note on its website.
The candidate, who will work with anti-piracy Netflix teams in Singapore, LA and London, will be based in either EMEA or Los Angeles, reporting to the global head of content protection, the company added.
Pointing out that this was a “newly configured, exciting role”, bringing together many facets of internal title protection work under one lead, Netflix would want the person to have deep experience (five years+) of running a global notice and takedown programme (including external vendor management), analyzing specific title piracy trends and other key data insights, apart from managing a team.
“They will also have broad exposure to industry alliance-led content protection initiatives and experience working with YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Google and other well-known online platforms. This person will be a key partner and advisor to our internal content and marketing teams, and will build and maintain relationships with external partners in the anti-piracy space (for example, trade associations, platforms, vendors, peer companies),” Netflix elaborated on the job responsibilities .
This is an opportunity to be part of an established and fast growing company that is changing the future of entertainment around the world, Netflix said, adding the company’s public policy team was focused on collaborating with business partners to innovate and “find effective, efficient solutions”.
“The ideal candidate will be intellectually curious, demonstrate great initiative, (be) an effective cross-functional communicator, and will welcome the opportunity to be part of a fast-paced, entrepreneurial organization,” the company added.
