Secure Manufacturing & Stealth Partner, Marketing

Responsibilities

• 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.

Requirements

• 12+ years of experience leading security, product secrecy, information protection, or sensitive-program risk within a global consumer technology, hardware, media, or similarly launch-driven organization.
• 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.
• Unimpeachable integrity, sound judgment, discretion, adaptability, and the ability to operate independently in fast-moving, ambiguous, and highly confidential environments.
