The well-capitalized company will have significant scale as a pure-play set of assets anchored by leading news, sports and entertainment content.

Job Description

Versant’s Global Security team manages the company’s operational risks and advises the business on other commercial, strategic or reputational challenges, with functions covering audits & investigations, business resilience (incident & crisis management, business continuity), digital risk, event security, global operations & insights, health, safety & wellness, newsroom safety, executive protection and workplace security. The department covers a diverse technical portfolio leveraged to ensure risks are reasonably managed, security threats addressed, and disruptions limited in support of Versant’ strategic goals.

About the Role

The ability to remain resilient in the face of disruption - from physical events to major system outages and a multitude of other incidents - is one of the most critical challenges facing businesses today. For a dynamic company such as Versant, operating across a quickly changing global landscape and facing unique risks, ensuring business resilience is critical to enabling our core business objectives.

The Senior Manager Investigations and Intelligence role requires an experienced practitioner well-versed in risk, resilience and effective controls.
