- Work with external developers to ensure the Netflix IP is represented correctly within game adaptations, including tone and creative considerations
Qualifications:
- 7+ years experience, with proven experience developing games in a game design or creative leadership role (social, F2P, mobile, web, console, handheld)

- Ability to influence direction, without relying on positional authority
- An excellent knowledge of game design difficulties generally encountered by teams and an understanding of how to tailor solutions to their unique requirements
- A record of leading complex cross-functional projects with successful delivery of quality in design, art, audio, and narrative
- Experience with Live Service, GaaS or retention-oriented design
- Contribute to the development and execution of internal creative tools and processes
- Licensed IP game experience a plus
About You:
- You have a proven track record of guiding teams that excel both creatively and strategically to create great work
