Netflix’s global Music Business & Legal Affairs Group is looking for a new member to join the team: a Director, Music who shares passion for music and the entertainment industry to help support an expanding slate of Netflix Original content.  

This unique and exciting role sits on the studio side of the Music Business & Legal Affairs Group and focuses on providing music business, legal and strategy support for the production and licensing of Netflix Originals. The role will have broad responsibility and unique insight into multiple aspects of the business and the opportunity to work with a wide swath of internal and external partners. 

Responsibilities include overseeing all music business and legal affairs matters during production: from structuring, negotiating and drafting agreements with composers, songwriters, artists, performers, producers, record companies and music publishers, to addressing music licensing issues in collaboration with the Music Licensing team.   

This role will take ownership over his/her own productions and will autonomously give music business, legal and strategy guidance to those productions and will negotiate and draft all commercial and legal terms of related music deals.  This role will also negotiate and draft music terms in content deals, rights acquisition deals and production agreements with third-party production partners, co-production partners and third party licensors of content.  

Given this broad scope of responsibility, the ideal candidate will have: mastery in the music market for the production of series and/or film; expertise in handling music issues and giving music guidance in content licenses and other distribution deals; and immersive, hands-on experience in negotiating commercial terms and legal issues and drafting music agreements for series/film production.  He or she will handle music contract and copyright related matters as they arise, will likely need to dig into local law and practice in various international territories, and should be extremely comfortable working independently, counseling business partners and making decisions that have both legal and business impacts.
