About this role
Netflix is one of the world's leading entertainment services, with over 300 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.
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 technology.
As a Language Producer, you will ensure that members experience high-quality localized assets, preserving creative intent and enhancing the localized experience for viewers everywhere. With Netflix's global reach and ever-evolving entertainment footprint, localization support for new languages and content genres is essential to our success, making this an exciting time to join the company.
The Role
The Language Producer is the advocate for language quality, creative consistency, and cultural authenticity across all localized Netflix content in their assigned language(s). This role oversees the end-to-end creative and linguistic aspects of dubbing, subtitling, main/episodic titles, accessibility, and marketing assets, serving as the key point of contact for all language-specific localization efforts. Approximately 40% of the role is dedicated to direct title and project coverage—supporting long-form project progress, creative strategy and quality control, and the launch of all localized assets—while the remaining 60% focuses on strategic market and talent development, including workflow innovation, vendor management, and building a robust talent pipeline. This is in support and collaboration with Content Localization Title Producers. The Language Producer partners with internal teams and external talent to deliver high-quality, culturally relevant content. By monitoring language trends and maintaining deep market awareness, this role ensures every Netflix story resonates authentically with local audiences and upholds high standards of creative excellence.
