About the Team

The Photo & Audiovisual (AV) Studio team has the enviable position of straddling two worlds in the entertainment industry: Photo & Audiovisual asset creation and global communication strategy. We specialize in capturing and creating photo & video assets that shape, enhance, and support our PR and Marketing campaigns for our Netflix content, including Series, Films, and Documentaries. Simply put, we produce content that compels people to watch our shows through various media. At its heart, Photo & Audiovisual Studio is about telling stories. The team shapes the visual identity of Netflix’s PR campaigns with creative content built from the production phase of our series and films.

The Role

The Photo & Audiovisual Studio Specialist will lead on-set coverage and creative execution for Japanese Original productions across anime, scripted/unscripted series, films, documentaries, docu-series, and comedy specials. With strong cross-functional partnerships across Marketing, Publicity, Social, Product, and Content, the Specialist will ensure the creative needs of each campaign are met with world-class photo and audiovisual storytelling.

The role requires a high level of creativity, resourcefulness, and editorial instinct — paired with strong project management skills and deep knowledge of production environments. This position is a strong individual contributor role: while it does not manage direct reports, the Specialist drives creative excellence and influences partners and vendors to deliver impactful, culturally resonant assets.

A successful candidate will thrive in the unpredictability of production, balance competing needs on set, and inspire innovative narratives that elevate our campaigns.

Responsibilities of the role include:

• Develop and align on content strategies with cross-functional partners in Publicity, Marketing, Social, Product, and Content.

• Leverage editorial and creative expertise to deliver authentic visual storytelling and compelling assets (photo and audiovisual) that support campaign objectives.

• Oversee on-set creative coverage — reading scripts, planning, hiring, and supervising unit photographers and video crews to capture the strongest campaign material.

• Be responsible for the best use of talent time during production to meet campaign needs; ensure clear communication from the set to internal stakeholders.

• Conduct in-depth interviews with on-screen and off-screen talent to uncover and shape narratives that strengthen campaign storytelling.

• Foster partnerships with photographers, videographers, production crews, and creative vendors to raise the standard of execution.

• Contribute to innovation in how we capture, package, and deliver assets that drive conversation around Netflix titles in Japan and across APAC.

Skills and Requirements:

• 6+ years of experience in entertainment, media, or lifestyle industries in roles such as Production Manager, or Creative at an agency or production house, Photo/Video Producer, Associate Creative Producer, Content Creator, Visual Editor, Journalist/Magazine or Web Editor (entertainment or lifestyle).  Experience in lifestyle media houses, creative agencies, or editorial outlets is a strong plus.

• Strong track record of creative execution and on-set production experience, ideally at a studio, production company, media house, or entertainment brand.

• Deep understanding of visual storytelling and editorial content in service of audience-first communication strategies.

• Established network and knowledge of the photography and video industries in Japan; working knowledge of production workflows, digital media formats, and delivery specs.

• Proficiency with Adobe Suite (Photoshop and Premiere Pro preferred).

• Excellent project management skills, with the ability to juggle multiple complex campaigns in fast-paced environments.

• Business-level fluency in Japanese required; English proficiency preferred.

• Alignment with Netflix values: good judgment, candor, innovation, courage, curiosity, and impact.

The Netflix culture attracts talent who exhibit good judgment, innovation, selflessness, courage, impact, candid communication, passion, and curiosity. Read our culture memo (JA)/culture memo (EN). If it resonates with you, maybe you’re the right person to join our team.
