Full Time Job
As Netflix expands its global footprint, we are increasing our investment in original films for the kids and family market - from live action to animated kids films to hybrid specialty projects. The Worldwide Post Production group seeks a leader to join us in pioneering the way Kids & Family feature film post production is managed at Netflix.
The Opportunity

The Role
