It includes design, engineering, data science, and product. As a Product Manager Intern on the Global Personalization team, you'll collaborate with a cross-functional team of data scientists, engineers and analysts to design and launch personalized content rails that help users discover shows and movies they'll love.

Responsibilities include analyzing page performance against core web vitals to support organic growth, building automated workflows to reduce manual effort, and developing reusable web page components and templates to enable rapid publishing. This role is ideal for someone passionate about continuous improvement, with the ability to blend creative thinking around customer experience with the technical execution needed to bring it to life.
• Product Operations, Process & Tools: The Product Operations team supports the Media Group and Global Streaming Product and Design organizations by driving efficiency and effectiveness through processes, tools, and program support.
