Senior Production Security Manager, EU/AF, Studios Protective Services in London

Are you a strategic security leader ready to define and scale production security standards across two continents? Amazon MGM Studios is seeking a Senior Production Security Regional Manager for Europe and Africa who combines deep expertise in physical risk management, risk forecasting, and risk mitigation with the strategic vision to transform how we protect global film and television productions. This role requires someone who operates with minimal governance, sets vision for strategically important initiatives, and works across multiple organizations to own programs and complex solution strategies that meet executive scrutiny.

You will apply deep understanding of physical risk management, risk forecasting, and mitigation methodologies to production security—designing scalable frameworks, engaging internal and external stakeholders, and driving continuous improvement of our security posture across Europe and Africa. The ideal candidate brings extensive experience in security risk management roles, with expertise that spans multiple complex environments and the ability to translate complex regulatory and industry requirements into actionable production security strategies.

You must be able to advise Directors and VPs, serve as a tie-breaker on critical security decisions, and create collaborative solutions with regulators, law enforcement, and industry bodies that elevate our security standards. The Senior Production Security Regional Manager defines and scales professional security services across Amazon MGM Studios productions throughout Europe and Africa.

Working strategically across organizations, you will own end-to-end physical risk management programs, develop comprehensive risk forecasting frameworks, and create innovative methodologies for physical asset protection that satisfy demanding operational and stakeholder requirements. Your work is strategic in nature. You handle significantly complex problems, decisions, and escalations—designing, testing, and inspecting scalable solutions that align teams and organizations towards simple, coherent approaches.

You apply expertise across multiple physical risk domains and types of complex production environments, creating cross-organizational structures and mechanisms that drive efficiency and consistency. You serve as the subject matter expert on production security for the region, advising senior studio leadership (Directors and VPs) on proactive risk forecasting and mitigation strategies.

Key job responsibilities:

• Own programs and complex solution strategies across organizations that meet executive scrutiny, advising Directors and VPs on physical risk management and mitigation strategies.
• Build consensus and secure commitments across Amazon MGM Studios, Amazon Security, legal, and regional production teams to drive unified security approaches.
• Influence external industry and regulatory leaders through force-multiplication—shaping entertainment security norms, standards, and best practices across Europe and Africa.

Execution and Expertise:

• Design, test, and inspect scalable risk management frameworks for production environments, handling significantly complex problems and escalations.
• Apply deep expertise across multiple physical risk domains (threat assessment, venue and location security, personnel protection, asset security) to create unified production security standards.
• Develop and implement comprehensive threat assessment and risk forecasting methodologies tailored to production environments across diverse European and African jurisdictions.
• Define business strategy for regional production security, establishing new operational models and risk mitigation standards that account for varying threat landscapes.
• Apply deep understanding of context, capabilities, and opportunities to reduce complexity—creating collaborative solutions with regulators, law enforcement, and industry partners.
• Serve as tie-breaker on critical security decisions affecting production operations, balancing creative enablement with compliance obligations.
• Drive impact across 2-3 production security domains (physical risk management, threat forecasting, asset and personnel protection) and multiple regions.
• Synthesize insights across security, business, operational, and stakeholder domains to drive proactive adaptations to the production security program.
• Align teams and organizations towards simple, coherent approaches to production security—creating and optimizing cross-organizational structures and mechanisms.
• Transform vendor management by defining new performance standards, governance models, and risk mitigation frameworks that reset industry expectations.
• Develop comprehensive metrics, reporting systems, and decision-support documentation for production security programs.
• Create strategic communication frameworks that enable proactive risk management and informed decision-making at the executive level.

A day in the life:

As a Senior Production Security Regional Manager, you will shape how we anticipate and respond to dynamic changes driven by creative direction, competing business priorities, shifting threat landscapes, and evolving global conditions.

This field-based leadership role requires you to build and influence a complex network of relationships spanning Studios and Production executives, regional security partners, law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, and Amazon intelligence teams.
