Former Netflix / HBO Development Executive Co-Founder & Chief Development Officer, LegalDrama.ai

If you've spent years buying legal dramas at Netflix, HBO, or FX — and you know exactly what the perfect one looks like — we want you to build the platform that generates them. Not as a consultant. Not as an advisor. As Co-Founder & Chief Development Officer of LegalDrama.ai. Here's the premise: Federal litigation is the most underleveraged narrative dataset in entertainment. Real betrayals. Real depositions. Real stakes that dwarf anything in the writers' room. The Musk v. Twitter saga. Theranos. Sackler. Cases that make Succession look understated — and they're all sitting in public court records, fully accessible, largely untouched. LegalDrama.ai is an AI platform that surfaces the dramatic architecture hidden inside real-world litigation and turns it into development-ready story material. We already sync to federal PACER records in real time. Users can explore active lawsuits as living narrative systems — tracking character dynamics, conflict escalation, plot reversals, and thematic structure across years of filings. The product exists. The data pipeline is live. What we don't have yet is the person who has spent a career on the buying side — who knows instinctively what a legal drama needs to be to get greenlit, and can spec that backwards into what we build. Your two mandates: Work directly with our engineering team to shape the product into something a development executive at a major streamer cannot say no to Use your relationships and creative authority to either sell the platform to a studio, package an original series from our litigation data, or both What you're walking into: Working platform — try it at legaldrama.ai Engineering team and AI infrastructure in place on Sand Hill Road PatentVC and Trademarkia operational support from day one Founder-level equity in the LegalDrama.ai spinout $65K base, scaling to $100K–$150K as the venture hits milestones Path to Executive Producer credit on original productions Home base: Menlo Park. Regular travel to Los Angeles for studio meetings, network relationships, and industry events What you need to succeed in this role: You've sat across the table from writers pitching legal dramas and you've known within ten minutes whether it works. You understand the difference between a case that is legally interesting and one that is cinematically inevitable. You know what a series bible needs to look like before it goes to a streamer, and you know which executive at which network is actively looking for what. You are also done with the development executive treadmill — the holding deals, the notes that go nowhere, the greenlight that never comes. You want to build something, own something, and put your name on it as a creator, not just a buyer. The engineers are already here. The data is already live. We just need the person who knows what to build it into. In your first 90 days, you will: Embed with the engineering team and define the product features that make LegalDrama.ai indispensable to a development pipeline Identify the three case types or legal narrative structures the platform should prioritize first Begin developing one original treatment from litigation data surfaced through the platform Map the studio and streamer relationships most likely to yield either a platform sale or a co-production deal Tell us how LegalDrama.ai wins in a world where every major AI company is chasing Hollywood #J-18808-Ljbffr
