Our mission is simple: help every team learn faster, iterate smarter, and deliver better experiences to customers.

Your New Role...

You will enable hundreds of PMs and engineers across teams, to experiment with minimal friction, interpret results with confidence, and optimize product experiences that reach tens of millions of viewers. As a Staff PM, you will shape company-wide mechanisms, raise the bar for experimentation quality, mentor PMs across the org, and serve as the go-to expert when tests yield ambiguous or conflicting outcomes.

This is a rare opportunity to define foundational capabilities for one of the largest streaming platforms in the world.

• Define mechanisms (e.g., review forums, playbooks, quality gates) that ensure experimentation rigor across the organization.

• Provide thought leadership and hands-on guidance when experiments yield ambiguous, contradictory, or hard-to-interpret results.

• Partner with teams to design high-quality tests and ensure strong measurement practices.

• Support teams facing challenges in experiment execution, evaluation, or integration with platform services.

• Define how experimentation integrates with broader product, data, and platform roadmaps.

• Build tooling that empowers teams to run, interpret, and act on experiments independently.

• Partner with data science to improve automated analysis pipelines, metric consistency, and test validity.

• Influence senior leaders and partner teams across engineering, product, analytics, design, and marketing on how to use experimentation to prioritize initiatives and investment opportunities

• Drive alignment on experimentation strategy, frameworks, and KPI definitions.

• Mentor PMs and engineers, raising the maturity of experimentation and product thinking across WBD.

• Deep understanding of A/B testing methodologies, statistical analysis, metric design, and experimentation frameworks.

• Experience collaborating closely with analytics and data science teams to build or evolve automated analysis capabilities.

• Strong technical fluency - able to engage with engineering on assignment systems, data pipelines, algorithmic trade-offs, or platform architecture.

• Proven experience driving cross-functional programs, building org-wide mechanisms, and influencing at executive levels.
