Join to apply for the Manager, Security Engineer Training & Behavior role at Sony Pictures Entertainment

We are in the business of creativity… making some of the most beloved film and television of all time for every platform in the world. As the most creative and proudly independent studio, our future is boundless.

Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE) is a division of Sony Corporation, a creative entertainment company built on a foundation of technology. Along with our sister companies, we make movies, television, music and games that engage billions of people, connecting creators and audiences around the globe. We are looking for innovators to join us as we forge the future of entertainment!

The Manager, Security Engineer Training & Behavior plays a key role in building the foundation for Sony Pictures Entertainment’s security culture by designing and deploying systems that embed secure behaviors directly into employee workflows. This hands‑on role focuses on creating automation, nudging, and workflow mechanisms that make secure actions seamless, intuitive, and habit‑forming. Over time, these foundations will enable gamification, microlearning, and emerging technologies to reinforce secure decisions in real time.

Success requires a strong mix of technical skill, behavioral insight, and systems thinking to deliver scalable, user‑centered solutions that drive measurable change. Collaboration, clarity, and an ability to translate complex security concepts into accessible content are essential.

• System Design & Hands‑On Implementation
  • Design and implement automations, integrations, and systems that embed secure behaviors into workflows
  • Use scripting and APIs to deliver adaptive security nudges and alerts
  • Create nudging infrastructure using low/no‑code tools
  • Develop in‑product guidance (extensions, add‑ins, notifications) for real‑time reinforcement
  • Identify and fix usability gaps in security controls to reduce friction across platforms (SharePoint, Outlook, Teams, LMS)
• Scenario‑Based Learning & Behavior Experimentation
  • Design experiential simulations across data protection, access control, social engineering, and collaboration
  • Move beyond static phishing tests toward adaptive, trust‑building learning experiences
  • Conduct tabletop exercises and integrate insights into culture and behavior initiatives
• Gamification & Microlearning Deployment
  • Apply gamification elements (challenges, leaderboards, streaks)
  • Help design role‑based and microlearning moments integrated into our environments
• Emerging Technology Implementation
  • Prototype AI‑based guidance tools (e.g., in‑chat assistants, smart FAQs, real‑time explainers)
  • Explore immersive learning pilots (e.g., interactive branching video, VR/AR prototypes) using available tech
  • Help lead MVP testing of new technologies that could reduce friction and increase security enablement
• Behavioral Data Architecture & Analytics
  • Support development of LRS/xAPI pipelines to capture behavioral data across systems
  • Shape dashboards and analytics models in Power BI, Tableau, etc.
  • Use telemetry to inform nudges and optimize campaigns over time

• Education
  • Bachelor’s degree in Information Security, Behavioral Science, Computer Science, Human‑Computer Interaction, Data Analytics, or a related field
  • Equivalent experience or relevant certifications (e.g., Power Automate, xAPI/LRS, Microsoft Graph, low‑code platforms, cybersecurity fundamentals) may be considered in lieu of a formal degree
• Experience
  • 5+ years of experience, particularly in areas such as cybersecurity, IT automation, behavioral engineering, or enterprise systems integration
  • Proven ability to build and implement behavior‑change mechanisms, develop user‑centric technical solutions as well as automation, nudging, and real‑time learning interventions.
  • Experience with gamification, low‑code tools, and collaboration with cross‑functional teams is necessary
• Skills & Certifications (Preferred)
  • Cybersecurity:
    Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), CompTIA Security+, or equivalent cybersecurity certifications
  • Automation & Workflow:
    Certificates…
