Language Producer, Global English - Content Localization

The Role: The Language Producer is a Content Localization expert accountable for language and partner health across English-language assets — the main liaison between Netflix and local dubbing, timed-text, and marketing localization vendors, and the execution arm of our partner strategy. This role is the first line of contact for local partners, focused on quality at scale rather than exhaustive title-by-title supervision. Success is measured by the health of the language and partner ecosystem, the role stewards, not by how many titles it personally touches. This is a 60/40 role: roughly 60% of the time is spent strengthening the local partner ecosystem — vendor relationships, talent pipelines, training, and feedback loops — and 40% is spent on direct, tiered engagement with a curated slate of high-priority titles and assets. Partners are the first line of defense on execution; the Language Producer trains, aligns, and trusts them to meet Netflix's quality bar, and steps in directly where judgment moves the needle most (in-market popularity, language expansion, new formats, or systemic quality signals). This is a demanding, fast-moving position that requires someone who can hold a strategic, ecosystem-level view while getting as tactical as necessary to deliver content, working across all components of English localization — dubbing, timed text, and marketing — alongside in-territory and cross-functional teams.

Requirements: A minimum of 5–10 years of dubbing and/or timed-text title/language management experience (creative and operations).Based in Los Angeles, CA, with a willingness to travel internationally and the flexibility to work across time zones to support a globally distributed team. Ability to inspire trust and build teams while representing Netflix professionally to partners. Curiosity about innovation and the ability to adapt to new technologies and processes, including automation and AI-driven quality tooling. Comfort reading and questioning data and dashboards (QC/TQ metrics, partner ratings) to drive decisions — this does not require a data science background, but does require the ability to connect metrics to member experience and turn them into vendor action. A strong understanding of localization workflows and pipelines, including real-time workflows, and the ability to execute titles at various points of production (development through delivery).Experience navigating complex vendor relationships, including difficult conversations about quality, accountability, and automation. Highly analytical, able to identify root causes and propose changes to existing workflows; adept at writing, facilitating, and presenting analyses. Familiarity with (or willingness to learn) English-language localization contracts, union/guild dynamics, and local market best practices. Bachelor's degree preferred and/or equivalent, relevant work experience. Native fluency in English is mandatory; proficiency in another language is beneficial.
