Netflix is changing the way more than 204 million subscribers around the world enjoy entertainment. As a company, we challenge industry norms by pushing one another to think creatively about complex questions. Our legal team is no exception. We think critically about the range of legal issues our business faces and act in a manner consistent with our freedom and responsibility culture, one marked by a bias toward action, collaborative work, candid discussions, by leaning into smart risks and taking ownership of bold decisions.

The Opportunity

The candidate will report to the Vice President, Associate General Counsel, based in Los Gatos, CA, and will be responsible for managing core legal functions (e.g., regulatory compliance, litigation, business development, and marketing legal) in our Seoul office.

This is a unique opportunity to be part of a leading media company that is revolutionizing entertainment globally.

The successful candidate has 15+ years of relevant experience as outside/ in-house counsel or a government official working on issues related to media, entertainment, and technology. The candidate must have excellent communication skills in both English and Korean and be able to represent Netflix Korea with partners and regulators as needed. This is a cross-functional role, so strong collaboration, and interpersonal skills are required.

The ideal candidate should also be able to demonstrate the following:
• Expertise in regulatory compliance, litigation, and media/entertainment law in Korea. Though a Korean license is not mandatory, it is highly preferred.
• Strong analytical capabilities and sound judgment
• Strategic outlook and ability to influence, inspire and lead others
