Disney Seeks Creative Supervisor to Drive AI-Enhanced Localization for Global Content

Disney’s New Creative Supervisor Role Focuses on AI-Supported Localization

Disney has posted a job listing for a Creative Supervisor position that highlights the company’s growing interest in integrating AI tools into its localization processes. The role centers on Studio-branded content, including Disney+ Originals like upcoming anime titles such as BULLET/BULLET, Twisted Wonderland: The Animation, and Star Wars: Visions (Volume 3 arriving in 2025).

The Creative Supervisor will ensure that dubbed and subtitled versions remain true to the original filmmaker’s vision while meeting high standards of quality and timeliness. This role will collaborate closely with global teams to balance creative integrity with operational efficiency.

Key Responsibilities of the Creative Supervisor

• Coordinate creation, review, and approval of dubbing and subtitling reference materials such as scripts, glossaries, creative briefs, and casting notes.
• Serve as the main contact for creative localization on assigned titles.
• Analyze content to develop localization strategies that respect the original intent and cultural relevance.
• Utilize AI-powered tools to improve workflow efficiency, quality control, and localization data tracking.

In addition to managing creative aspects, the role includes tracking localization data and analyzing operational metrics to find opportunities for improvement. The position reports to the Senior Manager and plays a crucial part in scaling localization operations through innovation and data-driven decision-making.

AI’s Growing Role in Localization

While Disney’s specific AI applications in this role remain under wraps, previous job listings indicate the company’s interest in technologies like synthesized voices, AI-driven machine translation, and other automation tools to streamline localization workflows.

This trend follows broader industry moves. For example:

• Netflix seeks experts in generative speech technology to enhance localization quality and scale.
• Amazon Prime Video has piloted AI dubbing in English and Latin American Spanish for titles that might not otherwise be dubbed.
• AMC Networks recently partnered with Runway to apply generative AI for marketing images.

Even niche streaming services like HIDIVE are exploring AI, while Crunchyroll remains cautious. Their CEO clarified in 2025 that AI is not considered part of the creative process involving voice actors, emphasizing respect for their creative contributions.

What This Means for Creatives

For professionals involved in creative localization, this job listing signals an increasing reliance on AI to support workflows without compromising artistic intent. Understanding AI tools and their potential applications in creative processes will become more valuable.
