• Monitor, track and analyze global AI developments, including legislative proposals, regulatory consultations, multilateral initiatives, and ethical AI frameworks, to anticipate risks and inform strategy.
• Track emerging risks, including nefarious uses of AI, geopolitical shifts, and technological breakthroughs, to help differentiate Netflix’s approach and guide responsible innovation.
• Engage with external stakeholders, including policymakers, industry groups, academics, and civil society, to build support for Netflix’s position and thought leadership in the AI policy space.
• Support cross-industry collaborations on best practices and AI governance, representing Netflix in key working groups and coalitions.

• Experience in a law firm, regulatory body, or in-house public policy role at a tech or media company.
• Proven success developing and implementing public policy strategies related to AI, tech regulation, or digital innovation.
• Experience engaging with governments, multilateral organizations, and industry groups on complex policy matters.
