Manager, Ads Finance & Strategy, France

Role Overview

Netflix is seeking a Manager for the Ads Finance & Strategy team, based in France. This role serves as a strategic partner to the Ads Sales business, collaborating with the Ads Sales country lead and broader leadership to define France's long-term ad strategy. You will translate this strategy into actionable annual and multi-year plans, and provide guidance to local Ads leadership on market positioning, strategic initiatives, and growth priorities.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop a comprehensive, forward-looking view of the French advertising market, including trends, regulations, competitive landscape, and advertiser dynamics, to identify long-term growth opportunities across verticals, segments, formats, and partner ecosystems.
• Partner with FP&A and the wider Finance & Strategy team to lead the annual planning process for France, encompassing market sizing, targets, investment cases, and pricing/deal strategy aligned with long-term revenue goals.
• Support business cases for major French initiatives, such as new product launches, key partnerships, and new sales motions, through structured analysis and clear narratives.
• Continuously monitor and interpret industry trends, competitive dynamics, customer behaviors, and regulatory shifts to anticipate market changes, assess business impact, and translate external signals into actionable strategic recommendations for both long-term strategy and near-term decision-making.
• Partner with Ads Leadership and Business Operations to shape go-to-market strategies, defining how to differentiate and position ad solutions against global and local competitors.
• Translate data into clear, actionable recommendations by leading monetization and yield analysis (CPM trends, inventory delivery, portfolio monetization), supporting pricing and deal decisions, and developing standardized reporting for weekly trading, quarterly business reviews, and leadership updates.
• Serve as the primary Finance & Strategy counterpart for French Sales leadership and cross-functional partners (Market Planning & Operations, Product, Marketing, Policy), facilitating alignment on strategic priorities and representing the French market's perspective in global forums.

What We're Looking For

• 7 or more years of experience, ideally in management consulting, media strategy, or ad-tech, or equivalent relevant experience.
• Good knowledge of the streaming advertising and ad-tech ecosystem; familiarity with programmatic, SSP/DSP relationships, and auction dynamics is a plus.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to structure ambiguous problems, build financial models, size opportunities, and synthesize insights into clear recommendations.
• Experience influencing senior stakeholders without direct authority.
• Effective communication skills, including strategic narrative building and executive-ready presentations (strategy memos, leadership decks).
• Proficiency in French and English, both written and verbal, for effective collaboration with local and global partners.
• Ability to make autonomous decisions within an aligned strategic framework.
• Bachelor's or master's degree with an emphasis on quantitative coursework, or equivalent practical experience; MBA is a plus.
