The Product Creative team partners with content creators and distributors to define how their content is creatively represented on Netflix. The team also works as a centralized hub within Netflix to define the creative strategy of titles on service, working closely with internal creative teams and agencies. At its core, the work is grounded in creativity with a strong understanding of how the Netflix product works. Our purpose is to create the most compelling discovery experience through artwork, video, and copy to connect our millions of global subscribers to the content they love.
We are looking for a director in Mexico City who can work to develop a business strategy and a creative practice around different markets in Latin America. This director will also partner cross-functionally with the leadership in LATAM to provide a voice for the product and help outline what is necessary for Netflix success in the region.
At Netflix, we have an insatiable need to continually improve our product experience and the creative elements that support it. This role will contribute to new areas of creative exploration for title representation and require frequent travel throughout Latin America and to our Los Angeles and Los Gatos, California offices.
You will build and manage a team of creative strategists, designers and video editors who drive the acquisition and exploration of all creative elements for both licensed and original branded LATAM content on our service. You'll create strong partnerships and collaborate across Marketing, Content Acquisitions and Product to bring our subscribers a unique and unparalleled internet TV experience.

Experience
• 12+ years of experience building, managing, and evolving an operational and/or creative team.
• International experience working in or with the LATAM region. Awareness of global/local content trends within the market is a plus.
