This role serves as a strategic security partner to the business, supporting planning discussions, reviewing event delivery models, setting expectations with vendors, and ensuring consistent standards across regions and event types.

  • Ensure appropriate levels of security planning and implementation for all events, mitigating risks and threats to the Netflix brand and family

  • Attend site visits and events as needed

  • Manage incidents on the ground, adapting plans and responding to escalations when needed and appropriate

  • Liaise directly with PR title teams to understand talent security needs and implement appropriate layers of protection

  • Act as the escalation bridge between external security vendors and internal stakeholders when there are capability gaps, disagreements, or material concerns

  • Maintain a consistent explanation of security posture, market landscape, and proportional security recommendations to internal partners

  • Oversee and direct on-site security for higher-profile/risk events and/or talent activations, understanding the attendees, talent, and associated risks

  • Talent liaison, understand specific talent requirements and liaise with their own security teams as needed; implement the appropriate rings of protection around talent as they conduct their activities

  • Act as Netflix's security lead at events and LIVE productions as needed

Scope

The function remains focused on oversight, governance, advisory input, and quality assurance. A well-defined scope of work typically includes objectives, roles, deliverables, approval points, and acceptance criteria.

  • Strategic participation in event planning

  • Regional engagement with event leads and internal business partners

  • Vendor identification, evaluation, and partner agreement development

  • Review and approval of security plans, risk assessments, and resourcing proposals

  • Oversight of vendor performance, standards, and compliance with agreed requirements

  • Escalation management between vendors and internal partners

  • Post-event review and capture of lessons learned for future planning

  • Operational oversight and security leadership on site for Netflix events and LIVE as needed

Skills and Capabilities
  • Ability to operate as a strategic partner across event planning, vendor governance, and risk oversight

  • Ability to interpret vendor security plans and risk assessments, and identify gaps requiring escalation or challenge

  • Ability to build and maintain effective relationships with vendors, regional event leads, and internal stakeholders

  • Ability to communicate security posture, market landscape, and proportional recommendations clearly to non-security audiences

  • Ability to manage escalation and exception situations with sound judgment

  • Ability to liaise directly with talent and their security representatives, tailoring protective measures accordingly
