Portfolio Jobs

At Netflix, our mission is to entertain the world. Together, we are writing the next episode - pushing the boundaries of storytelling, global fandom and making the unimaginable a reality. We are a dream team obsessed with the uncomfortable excitement of discovering what happens when you merge creativity, intuition and cutting-edge technology. Come be a part of what’s next.

Now as Netflix explores a broader world of entertainment—expanding into Games, Ads and a world of AI – we are looking for an experienced Human Evaluations Program Manager to help drive the growth of a new business unit at Netflix focused on how we evaluate and train ML and Generative AI models for use in our in-product experience.

About the Role

Netflix is building toward more intelligent and responsive systems—and thoughtful, high-quality evaluation is essential to making sure we’re moving in the right direction. Join a team who are creating the frameworks, tools, and workflows that ensure human judgment is applied with consistency, clarity, and care—whether we’re evaluating helpfulness, tone, safety, relevance, or creative quality.

You’ll not only shape how human and AI-driven evaluations are designed—but also own the day-to-day execution of these efforts. From scoping and planning, to rater onboarding and calibration, you’ll be accountable for driving delivery from start to finish. Just as critically, you’ll act as a thought partner and influencer—bringing stakeholders along as you introduce new ways of working, build alignment across teams, and establish a shared language around quality. Your work will help ensure that AI features at Netflix are not only high-performing, but also aligned with our values, our users, and the creative integrity that defines our brand.

You’ll work in a small team to ensure that evaluation designs are not only rigorous and aligned—but also effectively resourced, scoped, and executed at scale.

The Opportunity

This is a rare opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a function that will shape how we measure and guide the performance of AI systems at Netflix. In this role, you’ll partner across research, product, UX, and engineering to develop frameworks, rubrics, and workflows that enable rigorous, scalable human evaluation. But beyond shaping the “what” and “how,” you’ll also lead the “when” and “done.” You’ll be responsible for keeping evaluation projects on track—ensuring consistent execution, timely delivery, and high rater alignment. If you're excited to bring structure to ambiguity and influence how Netflix develops responsible AI—while being accountable for tangible delivery—this is your chance to create meaningful impact from day one.

The ideal candidate :

The ideal candidate brings a rare combination of structure and flexibility. You know how to create evaluation frameworks that are rigorous and scalable—and you’re also a driver who gets them out the door. You’re skilled at translating vision into workflows, defining milestones, and delivering consistent results in a dynamic environment. You can steer teams across functions, keep timelines on track, and ensure rater quality without micromanaging. You thrive in spaces where there’s no roadmap, and you take pride in making things real, not just possible.

Responsibilities:

• Lead end-to-end execution of human evaluation and data operations initiatives—from intake and scoping to delivery

• Develop and operationalize frameworks for evaluating GenAI and ML outputs

• Collaborate across research, product, UX, and engineering to embed evaluation into model development cycles

• Build and maintain project timelines, proactively manage blockers, and ensure timely execution

• Develop clear, scalable guidelines and scoring rubrics to ensure consistent rater judgment

• Oversee rater onboarding, calibration, and QA workflows

• Define and monitor success metrics such as speed to IRR, throughput, and task effectiveness

• Pilot and refine evaluation tasks to improve clarity, inter-rater reliability, and feedback quality

• Build foundational documentation and drive adoption of best practices across teams

• Track evaluation health and proactively communicate progress to stakeholders clearly and proactively

• Anticipate and proactively resolve bottlenecks and blockers

• Act as the connective tissue across multiple partners to ensure alignment and effective execution of evaluations at scale
  

Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience working in human evaluations, data collection, labeling, or annotation operations in GenAI/ML environments

• Track record of implementing process improvements or quality control systems for data collection needs

• Prior experience managing human annotation vendors, raters, or data labeling teams

• Strong understanding of evaluation design, including guidelines, rubrics, and scoring protocols

• Proven ability in end-to-end management of complex, cross-functional programs, demonstrating strong Program Management skills and clear accountability for successful delivery.

• Experience with human labeling platforms

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

• Ability to synthesize feedback into clear recommendations and process improvements

• Familiarity with responsible AI principles and how to embed them into evaluation design

• Strong organizational skills and executional focus; ability to track details while seeing the bigger picture
