THE ROLE

The Senior Manager, High-Risk Event Security is responsible for leading security planning and risk mitigation for events designated as higher risk through the company’s established event risk assessment process. This role serves as a strategic partner to venue General Managers and venue-level Security Managers, translating identified risks into clearly documented, event-specific enhancements to the standard security plan.

Operating as part of the centralized security team, this position does not support all events, but instead engages selectively on designated high-risk events. The role focuses on assessing elevated risk factors, facilitating cross-functional planning, and ensuring incremental security measures are defined, documented, and operationally executable by venue teams and partners.

WHAT THIS ROLE WILL DO

Risk-Based Event Engagement

• Serve as the security lead for events designated as higher risk through the company’s event risk assessment framework.

• Review and validate risk indicators across crowd dynamics, artist profile, venue configuration, environmental factors, and external threat considerations.

• Ensure risks are clearly articulated, understood, and prioritized in collaboration with venue leadership.

Enhanced Security Planning & Documentation

• Partner with General Managers and venue Security Managers to develop event-specific security plans that build upon the standard security baseline.

• Define and document incremental security measures required to address elevated risks, including adjustments to staffing, deployment, access control, perimeter security, communications, emergency response, and contingencies.

• Ensure enhanced plans are clearly documented, actionable, and aligned with company standards and expectations.

Field & Stakeholder Partnership

• Work directly with venue leadership to support planning, alignment, and readiness for high-risk events.

• Collaborate closely with the broader security organization to ensure consistency, escalation pathways, and organizational awareness.

• Support coordination with internal partners (operations, guest services, production) and external stakeholders (law enforcement, emergency services, and security vendors) as appropriate for the event risk profile.

Readiness, Execution & Review

• Support pre-event planning meetings, tabletop exercises, or briefings for designated high-risk events.

• Act as a subject-matter expert and escalation resource during event execution, as needed.

• Participate in post-event reviews to capture lessons learned, evaluate effectiveness of mitigation strategies, and inform future risk planning.

Program & Continuous Improvement

• Contribute to the ongoing refinement of event risk assessment tools, documentation standards, and planning processes.

• Identify trends, recurring risk drivers, and opportunities to strengthen proactive security planning across venues.

• Ensure consistent documentation and reporting for high-risk events to support visibility and accountability within the security organization.

WHAT THIS ROLE WILL BRING

• 8–10+ years of experience in security, public safety, or risk management, with direct experience supporting live events, venues, or large-scale public gatherings.

• Demonstrated experience conducting risk assessments and developing event- or operation-specific security plans.

• Strong working knowledge of crowd management, access control, emergency response, and incident command principles.

• Experience partnering with venue leadership, field operations, and public safety agencies.

• Background in law enforcement, military, emergency management, or private event security strongly preferred.

Key Attributes

• Highly collaborative, with the ability to influence and guide without direct authority.

• Structured, detail-oriented thinker capable of translating risk into practical operational plans.

• Calm and decisive under pressure, with strong judgment in complex environments.

• Clear communicator, comfortable working with senior leaders and field teams alike.

• Strong sense of ownership, accountability, and commitment to guest and employee safety.

BENEFITS & PERKS

Our motto is ‘Taking Care of Our Own’ through 6 pillars of benefits:

• HEALTH: Medical, vision, dental and mental health benefits for you and your family, with access to a health care concierge, and Flexible or Health Savings Accounts (FSA or HSA)
