The Role
The Language Producer is the advocate for language quality, creative consistency, and cultural authenticity across all localized Netflix content in their assigned language(s). This role oversees the end-to-end creative and linguistic aspects of dubbing, subtitling, main/episodic titles, accessibility, and marketing assets, serving as the key point of contact for all language-specific localization efforts.

This is in support and collaboration with Content Localization Title Producers. The Language Producer partners with internal teams and external talent to deliver high-quality, culturally relevant content. By monitoring language trends and maintaining deep market awareness, this role ensures every Netflix story resonates authentically with local audiences and upholds the highest standards of creative excellence.
