Business Security Partner (L5)
At Netflix, our mission is to entertain the world. Together, we are writing the next episode - pushing the boundaries of storytelling, global fandom and making the unimaginable a reality. We are a dream team obsessed with the uncomfortable excitement of discovering what happens when you merge creativity, intuition and cutting-edge technology. Come be a part of what’s next.
The Team
Netflix’s Business Security Partner (BSP) team is a team of senior security advisors organized around business proximity rather than technical domains. Each BSP partner owns relationships with a defined portfolio of business units, builds long-term relationships with BU leadership, and serves as the security export who understands those businesses well enough to advise on decisions before they are made. We sit in business reviews, participate in architecture conversations, and build the kind of trust with stakeholders that makes security a resource rather than a requirement.
Across all of our relationships, the goal is the same: every major business decision at Netflix should have access to clear, usable security risk context; not a compliance output buried in a document, but actionable guidance from a partner who understands both the risk and the business.
About the Role
This role covers two distinct, fast-moving areas within Netflix: Marketing and Animation. BSP aligns coverage based on need and often rotates business units. You may cover other areas during your time at Netflix. BSP right-sizes risk while enabling business outcomes.
On the Marketing side, you will be the primary security partner for teams spanning Consumer Products, Brand, Events, Experiences, and Social Media, as well as the external agency and vendor ecosystems that touch pre-release campaign content. You will advise on the security risk of GenAI tools Marketing teams are actively building and adopting, assess vendors and Business Process Outsourcing partners handling sensitive creative assets, and govern the access controls that protect Netflix’s social media accounts.
For Animation, you will partner with Netflix Animation as its dedicated security partner. Your work will span security risk assessment of the animation production pipeline, advancing the alignment of legacy systems with Netflix standards, and advising on architectural decisions that affect how pre-release animated content is protected. The pace of change is high, both in the business and in the legacy integration work. Your ability to engage credibly with engineering and leadership on complex, technically interdependent risk is essential.
This role also carries M&A responsibilities. BSPs at Netflix are expected to support technical security due diligence for acquisitions and subsidiaries.
What You Will Work On:
- Own the security partnership for Marketing and Animation, building stakeholder relationships, learning how these businesses operate, and translating that context into opinionated security guidance.
- Lead security risk assessments and treatment strategies with cross-functional teams as they launch new capabilities and tools.
- Evaluate and advise on the security risk of GenAI tool adoption across both business units. Set conditions of approval, assess training data provenance and data handling, and partner with Legal and Privacy on unified guidance.
- Maintain and evolve the Business Risk Profile for each business unit, prioritizing and driving remediation of the risks that matter most.
- Advance pre-release content protection in partnership across both business units: campaign assets and creative content in Marketing, and animation production pipelines and studio workstation environments. Coordinate with Content Security and partner SPA teams to ensure controls match the sensitivity of what’s in scope.
- Support M&A technical security due diligence for acquisitions and subsidiaries.
- Develop reporting and metrics that communicate risk posture and business security initiatives to SPA leadership and business unit stakeholders.
Desired Background:
- Experience operating as a security partner or advisor. You’ve built trust with business stakeholders, translated technical risk into business language, and driven decisions without direct authority.
- GenAI security depth. You have direct experience advising on or assessing security risks in GenAI systems. You can identify real risks and engage credibly with technical teams, legal, and privacy partners to mitigate them.
- Broad security domain knowledge across application security, cloud security, identity and access management, and data governance. You are comfortable operating across all of them and know when to go deep versus when to synthesize, practicing business awareness on how to communicate. You pull in domain experts from across the wider security organization, where needed, to help assess and address risks.
- Strong stakeholder partnership instincts. You build trust with the business by demonstrating that you understand their context, not just their security posture. You know how to translate a technical finding into a business decision, and back to the Security department for support.
- Comfort with ambiguity and novel technology environments. You have a framework for reasoning under uncertainty and for making recommendations when the answer isn't fully known.
- M&A or technical due diligence experience is a plus and not required.
