Responsibilities

• Work with event leads in each region to develop partner agreements, preferred vendor approaches, and aligned rate structures

• 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

• 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
