Security Product and Partnerships Manager
Los Gatos, CA, Remote
About the Role:
The Role
We are looking for an experienced Security leader to come join our newly formed Security product and Partnerships team. This position is at the nexus of a very wide scope of interactions with our internal Netflix teams, and with external partners who distribute and sell Netflix on our behalf. You will be chartered to define our new Security product framework, and evolve it based on our engagement model learnings, and business metrics results.
In this role, you will need a very strong security and engineering background, but equally strong leadership and business experience, so as to champion our new Security Engagement model internally with our Product, Engineering, Partnership and Business Development teams, and externally with the Strategy and Executive teams of our business and technology partners.
The Team
Over the last few years, Netflix has partnered with over 100 industry platforms, Consumer Electronics manufacturers and Operators to integrate our service on their devices and offer Netflix streaming to nearly 200 Million households worldwide. Over the course of that global expansion, the depth of collaboration with these partners has also grown to cover integrated payments solutions, integrated product offerings (bundles), catalog aggregation, voice interactions… Enabling these experiences requires ever increasing security precautions, yet nimble enough to maintain business agility.
In order to contain the increasing complexity of our security requirements, and better adapt these requirements to an evolving industry, a heightened fraud risk, and an increasing number of partners, we are creating a new “Security Product and Partnerships” team, who will be tasked with defining our Security product framework, and engage with those who will use it, both internally and externally, to evolve it over time and balance strong security with clarity and efficiency of engagement.
As one of the very first members of the team, you will help refine our mission, and build strong foundations.
We are part of the larger Device & Content Security organization, which collaborates with device partners and Technology vendors to improve security across the industry. To learn more about Device & Content Security at Netflix, check out this episode of the WeAreNetflix podcast.
