About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Serve as the primary SMS Partner and trusted adviser to Marketing, building a deep understanding of its priorities, planning cycles, launches, events, external partners, and sensitive information flows.
Identify secrecy and information-exposure risks early, then translate SMS requirements into practical controls that protect sensitive work without unnecessarily slowing execution.
Build, document, and socialize durable operating mechanisms for compartmentalization, need-to-know access, agencies and vendors, sensitive creative production, events, demonstrations, launch preparation, codenames, watermarking, and password controls.
Assess and approve Marketing systems and information workflows, identify gaps or duplication, establish secure handling requirements, and advise AI-native Marketing initiatives on permissions, data governance, and operational tracking.
Coordinate shared SMS capabilities—including investigations, prototype handling, APAC support, and other specialist services—while partnering across Marketing, Legal, Product, Communications, Procurement, IT, and Security.
Establish clear intake, escalation, reporting, training, and incident-response processes, and continuously improve controls based on recurring needs, incidents, and lessons learned.

Direct experience serving as the senior security partner to Marketing, Communications, Public Relations, Events, or another highly visible business function with access to unreleased products and launch-sensitive information.
Demonstrated success protecting major product launches, creative campaigns, executive communications, media briefings, events, demonstrations, agencies, production vendors, and other external partners.
Proven ability to build trusted relationships with senior executives and creative teams, influence without authority, and translate security requirements into practical operating models that preserve speed and effectiveness.
Deep understanding of product secrecy, compartmentalization, need-to-know access, insider risk, third-party exposure, information flows, incident response, and cross-functional coordination.
Familiarity with technical information-protection controls, including access and risk governance, secure collaboration, watermarking, monitoring, and data-loss prevention.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to convert complex secrecy and security requirements into clear, practical guidance for technical and non-technical stakeholders.
