Senior Manager, Event Risk & Intelligence

About Our Team:

The Global Risk, Safety and Resilience team manages the company's operational risks and advises the business on other commercial, strategic or reputational challenges that may arise. With functions covering audits & investigations, business resilience (incident & crisis management, business continuity), digital risk, event security, global operations & insights, executive safety, health, safety & wellness, high risk & newsroom safety 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 Dow Jones' strategic goals.

Dow Jones produces more than one hundred live events each year, convening global leaders, decision-makers, and influential audiences to explore the most important issues shaping business, policy, and society. These events—ranging from The Wall Street Journal Innovator Awards to global summits and executive gatherings—are central to Dow Jones' brand and reputation for excellence.
