About The Position

At Netflix, our mission is to entertain the world. Together, we are writing the next episode - pushing the boundaries of storytelling, global fandom and making the unimaginable a reality. We are a dream team obsessed with the uncomfortable excitement of discovering what happens when you merge creativity, intuition and cutting-edge technology. Come be a part of what’s next.
It’s no secret that we want to entertain the world. In order to do that we first must hire and develop the best people, starting with university students.
If you have a passion for solving challenging problems and learning how to build active and static protection to manage risk to talent and content creators, then we want to talk to you.
The Content Operations & Innovation organization at Netflix supports content to thrill members with efficient operational workflows and execution while leveraging our scale and innovating to deliver more value on screen. Within this organization, we are looking to host one intern on the Content Security team, within Content Risk Management, during Summer 2026. The Content Security team works diligently to protect Netflix’s content across the pitch-to-play lifecycle. This means getting involved early to secure our creative output in the pre-production, production, and post-production phases, working with both our internal teams and our third party vendors across the creative ecosystem. We also work closely with our production and events security teams within Content Risk Management.
As an intern, you’ll assist in facilitating departmental needs and will participate in a program that provides training and development intended to give you the skill set necessary to become a strong candidate for future entry-level positions in Content Security. You will also gain experience in working closely with our Production, Talent, and Events Security team giving you robust exposure to all the ways in which Netflix secures its content - both physically and digitally.
You do not need prior experience to apply; once you submit your application, you’ll receive an email inviting you to complete your application by filling out an Airtable form. You’ll also be asked to submit a 300-word-maximum statement of intent (preferably in PDF format) within the form using the following prompt:
