The Opportunity
The Content Localization team, responsible for dubbing, subtitling, accessibility, main/episodic titles, and marketing assets, plays a crucial role in delivering these programs to an expanding international audience by focusing on high-quality localized audio and text services, fostering a collaborative team environment, and utilizing cutting-edge technology.
As a Localization Title Producer, Live & Emerging Media, you will ensure that members experience the highest quality localized experience across both our live and post-live events and our emerging media slate, including Live streaming, video podcasts, sports highlights, and casual engagement content. You will preserve creative intent while enabling localization at scale through efficient workflows, automation, and assistive technology.
With Netflix’s ongoing international expansion, the growth of our Live business, and the rapid evolution of emerging media, providing world-class, scalable localization services is essential to our success—making this an exciting time to join the company.
The Role
The Live & Emerging Media Title Localization Producer will serve as a single point of accountability for the localization strategy and execution across all assigned live events and emerging media formats, from planning through live execution and post-live or ongoing experiences.
This role is responsible for orchestrating the seamless delivery of localized assets, including dubbing, subtitling, main/episodic titles, accessibility, and marketing assets, ensuring that all localized experiences reflect Netflix’s creative vision, meet regional standards for quality and authenticity, and support a best-in-class member experience in real time and at scale.
A key focus for this team is the optimization and expansion of our Live workflows and scaled content ingestion for emerging media, building and refining workflows that leverage automation and assistive technology solutions. The producer will balance day-to-day operational management with supporting testing, pilots, and the implementation of new workflows, partnering closely with Language Production, Global Resource Management (GRM), and vendor partners to establish quality thresholds and manage quality at scale.
This role partners closely with internal and external stakeholders, including Product, Content, Post-Production, Marketing, Operations & Solutions, QC, Linguists, Language Production, Global Resource Management, Strategy & Innovation, and external partners, to optimize workflows, resolve operational challenges, and drive continuous improvement across both live and emerging media.
