Job description

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.

Netflix seeks an experienced attorney to handle a wide array of responsibilities related to the development and production of Netflix's feature film slate. The successful candidate will work with the company's film team to negotiate and draft agreements necessary to develop, produce, and/or acquire the company's live action feature films. Effective collaboration with internal teams-including creative, production, finance, and other cross-functional stakeholders-is essential to address legal and business issues and ensure the successful execution of our film slate. This is an exciting and rewarding opportunity to make an impact at Netflix by helping us create high-profile feature films that Entertain the World.

REQUIREMENTS

The successful candidate will have at least 10+ years of broad-based development, production and acquisition experience, specifically with respect to feature motion pictures. Deep familiarity with and understanding of related or ancillary documents and issues (e.g., rights, talent and other above-the-line agreements and matters; licensing and acquisition agreements; production services agreements; chain of title review; etc.) required. Prior in-house experience is required (major film studio experience strongly preferred); in particular, film acquisition experience is highly desirable.

The successful candidate will also possess the following:

  • Clear, concise communication skills.

  • Strong analytical capabilities and judgment, even when the rules are unclear and the issues are of first impression.

  • Ability to work proactively, independently and reliably under tight timeframes in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.

  • A strong sense of urgency and the ability to juggle multiple, competing priorities.

  • Ability to pivot quickly and fluidly, think practically and be solution-oriented.

  • J.D. and membership in good standing in at least one state bar.

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 $325,000.00 - $580,000.00.

Netflix provides comprehensive benefits including Health Plans, Mental Health support, a 401(k) Retirement Plan with employer match, Stock Option Program, Disability Programs, Health Savings and Flexible Spending Accounts, Family-forming benefits, and Life and Serious Injury Benefits. We also offer paid leave of absence programs. Full-time hourly employees accrue 35 days annually for paid time off to be used for vacation, holidays, and sick paid time off. Full-time salaried employees are immediately entitled to flexible time off. See more details about our Benefits here.

Netflix is a unique culture and environment. Learn more here.

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.
