Job Description
Netflix Product & Tech Legal Team
Legal Director
Netflix is one of the world's leading entertainment services with over 260 million paid memberships in over 190 countries enjoying TV series, films and games across a wide variety of genres and languages. Members can play, pause and resume watching as much as they want, anytime, anywhere, and can change their plans at any time.
Role Description
We are looking for a practicing attorney to join the Product & Tech Legal Team as a Legal Director to partner with our Data & Insights Group. The role reports directly to the Senior Director of Studio Product & Technology Legal based in Los Angeles, and you will be based in Los Angeles or Los Gatos.
The Legal Director is a multi-faceted role requiring a breadth of product experience, an instinct for innovation, and the wisdom to discern practical real-world risks from theoretical ones. You will have a particular interest in leveraging data in innovative ways to fuel products and generate insights. You are a diplomat, with the skills to bring folks together to collaborate and share information and ideas, and you thrive in a loosely coupled world where we lean into integrity and judgment over rigid rules and inflexible processes.
Responsibilities
- Support our data scientists and consumer insights team in the many ways they leverage data and insights to improve our models, tools and enhance the member experience.
- Provide practical product counseling to enable rapid development of innovative products, coordinating closely with subject matter legal experts and distilling real-world advice. In other words, you will be a legal generalist with a business instinct. This is not a compliance role.
- Understand the studio world and content production, with some familiarity with business affairs.
- Fluent in product and engineering principles with the ability to “speak science” as well as the skills to simplify these principles for others to understand.
Qualifications
- JD required and active bar membership in the state of California or New York
- 10+ years of legal experience in the entertainment and/or technology industries in a strategic leadership capacity, either through a law firm and/or an in-house role, with subject-matter experience in data science.
- Strong track record demonstrating a collaborative approach, effective communication skills, and excellent legal/business judgment.
- Strategic and creative thinker who thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment, undeterred by ambiguity.
- Demonstrated curiosity and ability to quickly master new areas of technology.
