The Team

The Business Security Partner (BSP) team delivers a balanced approach to securing our business based on the business context provided by our stakeholders. The Business Security Partner team sits within the Security, Privacy and Assurance team at Netflix. We enable Netflix to pragmatically address top security risks while maintaining business agility, velocity and scale.

We're looking for our next Security Partner to lead security conversations between the Security team and our business units. The BSP team manages the picture of risk in their stakeholders' ecosystem, secures business workflows and technical environments, and delivers targeted awareness. Things move fast at Netflix, and this team is essential to driving strong alignment that addresses critical risks.
