Meet the Team
Jiyoung Im
Program Manager, Partner Operations
Jiyoung joined Netflix in June 2016 on the Content Operations team (now Title Operations), first managing American studios’ licensed launches and then moving onto regional verticals, focusing on Korea. While she was in Content Operations, she led the initiative to create the NPFP Project Management workflow (formerly known as “NPOP”) to scale. Having worked on this initiative so closely with TPO and NPFPs and with over 11 years of vendor experience in subtitling and digital cinema mastering & distribution, she made a natural transition to Technical Partner Operations in February 2019.
As a program manager, she continues to foster strong rapport with our global roster of Preferred Fulfillment Partners and drive further improvements around the NPFP project management service.
