About the role

As an Agency Development Manager, you will be responsible for the day-to-day execution of the Agency's Investment strategy for export business. In this role, you will report to the Director of Export Advertising Sales and collaborate closely with the entire Netflix Sales team.

You will be accountable for delivering on revenue targets by negotiating and executing material volume and upfront Agency advertising deals for our business. You will be responsible for ensuring the execution and ongoing tracking of the Agency deals/commitments for each major Agency partner.

The role will also be a focal point for driving the necessary internal developments to ensure our success. Cross-functional collaboration with the Ad Product, Finance Strategy, and Ad Marketing teams will also be crucial.
