THE ROLE

We are seeking a Manager, Production Design to join the Brand Creative Studio. This is a senior individual contributor role within the production design team, responsible for driving high-quality, systems-led creative execution across multiple business functions, including the Netflix Brand, Netflix House, Product Marketing, Consumer Products, and Corporate Communications.

This role reflects a creative agency and design studio model of production design, where the focus is on translating brand strategy and design systems into scalable, repeatable outputs across channels, markets, and use cases. You will operate as a hands-on design leader—owning complex workstreams end-to-end, elevating the quality and consistency of production output, and helping shape the systems and frameworks that enable the team to scale.

You will partner closely with the Senior Manager, Production Design, cross-functional stakeholders, and external agencies to ensure work is executed with clarity, craft, and operational rigor. While this is not a people management role, you will be expected to mentor junior designers, provide creative direction on production workstreams, and help set the standard for how production design operates within BCS.

A strong portfolio demonstrating systems thinking, high-volume execution, and brand-led production work is required.

RESPONSIBILITIES
Production Design Leadership & Execution
  • Own and drive production design across complex, high-volume workstreams, including lower-funnel marketing assets, campaign toolkits, sales materials, and presentation systems for executives, sales, and high-priority communications.

  • Translate brand design systems, toolkits, and creative direction into scalable production frameworks that support speed, consistency, and quality across teams and partners.

  • Develop and refine templates, modular systems, asset frameworks, and production workflows across channels and markets.

  • Serve as a hands-on design lead, producing work directly, while also elevating the output of the broader production design team.

Cross-Functional Creative Support
  • Act as a trusted creative partner to teams across Brand, Netflix House, Product Marketing, Consumer Products, and Corporate Comms, supporting a wide range of outputs from performance marketing and physical environments to executive communications.

  • Lead presentation design for high-visibility needs where clarity, consistency, and brand expression are critical.

  • Ensure work is fit-for-purpose across audiences and channels, while maintaining alignment with Netflix brand standards.

Mentorship & Creative Guidance
  • Mentor and guide production designers, providing clear creative direction, constructive feedback, and support for professional growth.

  • Help establish best practices and craft quality benchmarks that raise the bar for production design output across the team.

  • Foster a culture of ownership, accountability, and pride in craft within the production design practice.

Agency & Partner Collaboration
  • Collaborate with external agencies and production partners, helping ensure output aligns with Netflix brand standards and production frameworks.

  • Support the Senior Manager in defining when work should be handled internally versus externally, based on scale, complexity, and timelines.

  • Review and provide feedback on agency deliverables to maintain quality and consistency.

Quality, Craft & Continuous Improvement
  • Uphold high standards of design quality across all production outputs, including executive-facing and external presentation materials.

  • Continuously identify opportunities to improve workflows, systems, and templates to increase efficiency and consistency while raising the creative bar.

  • Stay current on best practices in production design, creative operations, and design tooling.

QUALIFICATIONS
  • 8–11 years of experience in visual design, production design, or creative operations within a creative agency, design studio, or scaled in-house brand team.

  • Proven track record of leading high-volume, brand-led production design across multiple channels and formats.

  • Strong background in building, managing, and evolving design systems, templates, and modular frameworks.

  • Experience overseeing a broad range of production outputs, including presentation design for senior leadership, sales, physical events, and digital and print marketing materials.

  • Ability to translate complex information into clear, well-structured visual communication across formats.

  • Demonstrated experience mentoring designers and providing creative direction, even outside of a formal management role.

  • Exceptional collaboration skills, with experience partnering with cross-functional teams and external agencies.

  • Fluency in modern design tools and workflows (Figma, Adobe Creative Suite; motion experience a plus).

  • Enthusiasm for leveraging AI tools and automation to enhance workflows, while identifying inefficiencies in the production process(project work examples a plus).

  • Strong communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills.

  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity and shifting priorities in a fast-paced environment.

  • A hands-on leader who can move fluidly between strategic thinking, systems-level problem solving, and direct design contribution.
