Creative Producer, Editorial & Publishing, The Swoon

Job Description

We are Netflix's Editorial team. A team of storytellers, editors, producers, and writers who are creating a whole new approach to talking about entertainment. We make content that brings global communities together over shared passions, and we make sure that Netflix is on the pulse of conversation among fans. Though part of the larger marketing organization, our team's work is unique in that we express a perspective on content the way an editorial media outlet would.

The Opportunity

We're looking for a creative producer who will develop exciting new formats for YouTube that showcase our talent in fresh ways. You'll have a deep passion, appreciation, and understanding of Korean dramas, and have a skill for bringing these stories into the social zeitgeist through A/V content. You understand what makes K-dramas tick and why people around the world love them so deeply. As a fan, you are attuned to what sparks a connection between a show and its fandom. You live for that spark.

In the role of Creative Producer of The Swoon, you will be responsible for the ideation, concept development, and production of our A/V programming with a deep focus on episodic content on YouTube, but across other active and emerging platforms as well. To be a successful producer, you'll need to be a storyteller at heart and have the excellent judgment to balance audience interests with the needs of our business.

What is The Swoon?

The Swoon is Netflix's community for global fans of K-content-we are by the fans, for the fans, and we are here to celebrate the stories and the talent that are so beloved around the world. Since launching in 2019, The Swoon has grown across multiple platforms (YouTube, Instagram), and will continue to expand its reach.
