At Netflix, our mission is to entertain the world. Together, we are writing the next episode - pushing the boundaries of storytelling, global fandom and making the unimaginable a reality. We are a dream team obsessed with the uncomfortable excitement of discovering what happens when you merge creativity, intuition and cutting-edge technology. Come be a part of what’s next.
Our Talent team supports our teams around the globe so they can do the best work of their lives. Within Talent Management, we are looking for a leader to own our onboarding strategy. Our culture drives how we work, and we need someone who cares as deeply about our culture as they do about building great onboarding experiences.
Onboarding is how great talent becomes excellent at Netflix. At most organizations, it’s logistics: badge, laptop, benefits, go. Here, it’s where new hires learn how great work gets done: the business, the culture, the people, and the job. We aim for a Dream Team of people who are great at what they do and even better at working together, and onboarding is where that starts.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Who you are
You’re a generalist at heart with a strong working knowledge of product ownership and strategy, experience design, project/program management, and event management. You will coach and support your team in each specialty and drive towards outcomes for the onboarding portfolio.
What this role is like
You’ll join Talent Management on a team that runs some of the most visible programs at Netflix, from Onboarding to Leader Development and Organizational Effectiveness, and everything in between. You’ll lead a high-performing, multidisciplinary team, set a clear vision for onboarding, and inspire your team and partners to move towards it. You’ll trust your team to make thoughtful decisions and create an environment where people are challenged and supported to do their best work.
You’ll be accountable for the onboarding strategy, beginning with global leader and executive onboarding, and build it so that the work extends to other regions. You’ll also lead the delivery of our largest live learning event in the US and Canada [UCAN] and help decide how and when to scale live learning globally. Managers are the biggest driver of onboarding quality, so you’ll shape what comes next with them, not for them.
Building something new at this scale is bold, ambitious, and sometimes uncomfortable. You won’t wait to be told what to build. You’ll make the case, farm for dissent before you decide, commit once you do, and own the result. We hire unusually responsible people and give them context, not control, and we expect you to do the same with your team.
This role is US-based, from our offices in Los Gatos, CA, or Los Angeles, CA. You’ll report to the Director, Talent Management, UCAN.
What you’ll own
You’ll own the onboarding product and be accountable for its outcome: accelerating new hire effectiveness. Onboarding is good today, and we believe it can be even better tomorrow. You’ll start with the problem, stay accountable after launch, and use data and customer signals to decide what to improve, scale, or retire. You’ll balance global consistency with local needs, and bring in Talent Analytics, Talent Tech & Operations, Talent Acquisition, Inclusion, Compensation, global HRBPs, and Talent Leadership early, as One Talent Team.
Within Onboarding, you and your team will own and develop:
- Exec Onboarding [VP, Sr Director]: tailored touchpoints for incoming VPs, plus VP-specific enablement for hiring managers, HRBPs, and onboarding buddies
- Leader Onboarding [Managers, Directors]: new leaders, including live learning and leader-specific enablement for hiring managers, HRBPs, and buddies
- Employee Onboarding: new individual contributors, including live learning for new hires and enablement for hiring managers, HRBPs, and onboarding buddies
- Onboarding Digital Hub: the digital home for all new hires, with self-serve content on the business, our culture, and leadership
- Early Career Hires: onboarding for new grads and early career hires
What you’ll do:
- Lead and develop a small, multidisciplinary team of experienced designers and project managers with clear expectations, candid feedback, and room to grow.
- Focus your team on high-impact priorities, matching capabilities to the biggest opportunities, and communicating trade-offs and non-goals explicitly.
- Lead your team to manage the full product lifecycle, from problem discovery and launch to continuous iteration or retirement.
- Guide the experience design direction, translating business strategy and employee insights into a cohesive onboarding experience.
- Define target outcomes up front and track metrics for effectiveness, efficiency, engagement, and experience, ensuring equity across regions and teams.
- Establish core standards for all new hires [onboarding plans, buddies, clear goals] while creating memorable touchpoints that keep processes lightweight and flexible.
- Set clear expectations and tools for hiring managers, and clarify who does what across recruiters, HRBPs, buddies, and leaders.
- Build for the future by anticipating how our business and workforce are evolving, encouraging experimentation, challenging conventional approaches, and exploring new technologies and modalities.
- Partner with global talent management teams to drive the greatest impact.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- 10+ years leading people, including hiring, coaching, and developing high-performing multidisciplinary teams, with candid feedback and a culture of trust and accountability
- 10+ years in HR, Talent Management, or Org Development, including 5+ years building and scaling onboarding or employee experience programs
- Influence and facilitation skills across teams and leadership levels, including senior stakeholders without authority, even when the path is unclear.
- Strategic thinking and business acumen to connect business priorities and employee needs, define a future state, and turn complex problems into a roadmap
- Experience owning a product or program against an outcome over time, and leading complex initiatives across multi-disciplinary stakeholders
- Human-centered design leadership, from problem framing through implementation and iteration, creating scalable experiences with measurable results
- Generalist range across product ownership, experience design, project/program management, and event management, with enough depth to coach specialists in each
- First principles and systems thinking across the talent management system, with a willingness to challenge assumptions and try new approaches and technologies
- Analytical rigor and sound judgment; when to rely on data versus intuition.
- Resilience, self-awareness, and high standards, with comfort building new programs from scratch in fast-paced environments
- Deep passion for Netflix culture
- Willingness to travel up to 50%, domestically and internationally
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- 12+ years in the field, including 7+ years building onboarding at a mid to large global organization
- Track record of leading teams to scale programs across global regions while maintaining quality
- Experience in leading a team through change, such as a new strategy, a reorg, or a shift in the way we get things done
- Experience designing executive transitions and helping leaders integrate culture through practice
- Experience leading cross-functional work with business leaders, talent partners, tech, and analytics using agile and design thinking frameworks
- Experience leading in a product-centric model, including setting outcome measures and building early feedback loops
- Interest in guiding your team and partners to explore how AI and new tech can improve workplace learning and productivity
COMPENSATION
Generally, our compensation structure consists solely of an annual salary; we do not have bonuses. You choose each year how much of your compensation you want in salary versus stock options. To determine your personal top of market compensation, we rely on market indicators and consider your specific job family, background, skills, and experience to determine your compensation in the market range. The range for this role is $290,000.00 - $470,000.00.

Full-time salaried employees are immediately entitled to flexible time off.
Netflix is a unique culture and environment.
Inclusion is a Netflix value and we strive to host a meaningful interview experience for all candidates. If you want an accommodation/adjustment for a disability or any other reason during the hiring process, please send a request to your recruiting partner.
We are an equal-opportunity employer and celebrate diversity, recognizing that diversity builds stronger teams. We approach diversity and inclusion seriously and thoughtfully. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, ancestry, national origin, caste, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or expression, age, disability, medical condition, pregnancy, genetic makeup, marital status, or military service.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as an Onboarding Manager
Align your credentials to specialty occupation standards
Pull up the O*NET profile for Training and Development Managers and document how your bachelor's degree in HR, organizational psychology, or a related field maps directly to your onboarding duties. USCIS scrutinizes whether the role genuinely requires that specific degree, so a clear credential-to-duty match strengthens the petition.
Verify prevailing wage before accepting an offer
Run your target city and job code through the OFLC Wage Search before salary negotiations close. Your employer must certify they'll pay at least the prevailing wage on the LCA, and accepting an offer below that threshold can delay or invalidate the filing entirely.
Target employers with dedicated HR technology teams
Companies running enterprise HRIS platforms like Workday or SAP SuccessFactors regularly hire Onboarding Managers with systems-configuration responsibilities, which anchors the specialty occupation argument. Use Migrate Mate to identify employers with verified H-1B visa LCA filing history in HR and workforce management roles.
Confirm each worksite gets its own certified LCA
If your onboarding role covers multiple office locations or you work in a hybrid model across states, your employer must file a separate certified LCA for each worksite. A single LCA does not cover locations that weren't listed at filing, so raise this with HR before the I-129 is submitted.
Use your 60-day grace period strategically between jobs
If you're transitioning from one onboarding role to another, H-1B portability lets you start the new job once your new employer files the I-129, without waiting for approval. The 60-day grace period after your previous job ends gives you a narrow window, so have your new employer begin the LCA process immediately.
Frame onboarding work as workforce systems design
When reviewing a job description with your immigration attorney, check that it emphasizes competency framework development, HRIS implementation, or analytics-driven onboarding programs rather than administrative coordination. DOL and USCIS look for duties that require theoretical and practical application of a specialized body of knowledge.
H-1B Visa Onboarding Manager: Frequently Asked Questions
Does an Onboarding Manager role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
It qualifies when the employer structures the position around duties that require at least a bachelor's degree in HR, organizational development, industrial-organizational psychology, or a closely related field. Roles focused on strategic workforce integration, HRIS configuration, or competency-based onboarding design typically meet the bar. Purely administrative onboarding coordination without degree-specific duties does not qualify automatically, so the job description needs to clearly reflect graduate-level responsibilities.
Which employers commonly sponsor H-1B visas for Onboarding Manager positions?
Large technology companies, management consulting firms, financial services institutions, and healthcare systems are the most active H-1B sponsors for HR leadership roles. These employers typically have dedicated immigration support teams and established LCA filing processes. Browse Migrate Mate to find companies with verified H-1B filing history specifically in HR and people operations roles, filtered by location and job function.
How long does H-1B status last for an Onboarding Manager, and can it be renewed?
USCIS grants initial H-1B status for up to three years. Your employer can file an extension for an additional three years, bringing the standard maximum to six years. Extensions beyond six years are possible only if you have an approved immigrant visa petition at a qualifying stage under AC21 portability rules, so long-term planning with your employer matters early in the process.
What happens to my H-1B status if I move to a new Onboarding Manager role at a different company?
H-1B portability under AC21 lets you start working for a new employer in a same or similar specialty occupation role once they file a new I-129 petition, without waiting for approval. Your new employer must file their LCA and petition before your current status expires. Because onboarding roles can vary significantly in duties, your immigration attorney should confirm the new position qualifies as the same occupational category.
Does my employer need to file a separate LCA if my onboarding role covers multiple office locations?
Yes. Each worksite where you perform H-1B work needs its own certified LCA reflecting the prevailing wage for that specific location. If your role involves regular work at offices in different metro areas, your employer must obtain and post LCA notices at each site before you work there. Remote work arrangements spanning multiple states raise the same requirement and should be discussed with HR and legal counsel before your start date.
