Within Netflix’s Talent Management team,  Leadership Programs focuses specifically on developing Netflix leaders so they can navigate complexity, make bold decisions, and build extraordinary teams. We’re now hiring a Senior Simulation and Experiential Designer to help us take our leadership seminars to the next level. As a Senior Simulation and Experiential Designer, you’ll use strong instructional design and adult learning approaches to create rich, in‑the‑room experiences—simulations, exploration, substantial group projects, and more—that help Netflix leaders grow in ways that are deeply connected to the realities of their work. We are building for the room, not the screen. This role focuses exclusively on live business simulations and experiential learning for executives.
