• leverage your product counsel expertise to support new content technology initiatives in Eyeline's production testing environments;
• work closely with Netflix's subject-matter legal teams (e.g., Business & Legal Affairs, Production Employment, Labor) while functioning as the lead Eyeline production counsel across the production lifecycle from pre- to principal to post- (e.g., entity choice & structuring, ATL/BTL engagements, third party technology integrations, rights & clearance, labor & employment considerations, in-the-moment risk management);
• support the Eyeline Studio, VFX and Labs sub-functions, including establishing and standardizing contractual workflows, creating self-help legal guidance and support avenues to facilitate independent recurring legal engagement, improving business awareness and leading internal education sessions, and serving as an escalation point for the business as well as for our counsel and contracts managers; and

You understand and apply a pragmatic risk lens built upon a foundation of exceptional judgment and practical experience, and you communicate very clearly and concisely. You genuinely exemplify the Netflix culture, and you yearn for the vast and endless sea.
