[Hiring] Visual Design Lead @Netflix

Role Description

Come join the Emerging Creative (ECXD) Live creative team at Netflix as we invent what live events look and feel like for a global audience. In this role, you will be a key contributor in building out our design language for live event graphics, directly impacting how millions of fans experience our live moments.

Culture Requirements

• Radical Selflessness: We carry ourselves with a dedication to making the work experience as good as possible for everyone involved.
• Curiosity: We value leaders and teammates who showcase constant curiosity and a "helpful yet independent" point of view.
• Nimble Collaboration: We expect our team to be nimble and helpful as our properties evolve, riding the line between high-pressure asks and sustainable solutions.
• Mentorship and Growth: Our highest priority is helping one another grow and expand our influence, acting as consistent educators to those around us.
• A "We" over "Me" Mentality: We are thoughtful teammates who work tirelessly to set each other up for success.

What You’ll Do

• Build immersive worlds that expand our brand DNA, whether you make it or direct it.
• Build design systems that endure and flex as new sports, formats, and genres join the slate.
• Turn a creative vision into fully realized work, from first sketch to final output.
• Push where the technology can go further, using new tools to raise the bar.
• Finish polished work for delivery while building systems the team can build on next.
• Leverage AI advancements and emerging technologies to speed up workflows and improve the visual quality of our renders.
• Extrapolate design visions into fully functional 3D assets, ensuring technical excellence from modeling to final render.

About You

• You move fluidly between doing the work yourself and directing someone else to get there, and you always know which mode the moment calls for.
• You think in systems, not just deliverables. What you build today still has to hold up as new sports, formats, and genres join the slate.
• You're pulled toward where the technology is headed, not just where it's comfortable, and you bring the rest of the team with you.
• Your voice carries in a room: sharp, refined, and decisive enough that senior leadership trusts the direction you set.
• You lead cross-functional partners toward one vision and can write the brief that captures it, all while running more than one production at a time.

Requirements

• Proven track record building original creative worlds from a blank page.
• Real experience leading cross-functional partners toward one shared vision.
• Presentation chops to sell and defend that vision to senior leadership.
• Track record managing multiple productions at once without losing your voice.
• Comfortable writing creative briefs from scratch, capturing brand essence.
• 10+ years of experience, with a focus on high-end broadcast or cinematic deliverables.
• Direct partnership with cross-functional leadership, extending a world beyond broadcast into out-of-home, social, or experiential space.

Even Better

• Familiarity with evolving enterprise design systems at scale.
• An eye for how work travels across platforms, formats, and time, long after launch.
• A track record leading other creative directors and designers as a program scales.

Why This Role Matters

Leadership and execution are what this job runs on, because they're what keep our domestic and global slate meeting the world-class bar Netflix members expect. The voice behind that work carries real influence, so it has to be sharp, refined, and decisive. This is a chance to stand at the front of Netflix Live as it takes shape.
