About the RoleYou'll own physical security across regional FluidStack sites, including data centers and related facilities: multiple sites, one accountable leader. From day-to-day operations to incident response to the people on the ground at every facility, the security posture of the region runs through you. This role is built for a seasoned operator who can lead at a regional level without losing the on-site instinct: someone who's just as effective walking a perimeter at 2 AM as they are briefing executives on regional risk. You'll be the senior security presence our customers, our internal teams, and our guard force look to.
Responsibilities:- Own physical security operations across a FluidStack region: every site, every shift, accountable end-to-end for posture, performance, and incidents
- Lead the regional security team, including site-level security personnel and contract guard force, setting the standard for discipline, professionalism, and execution across every facility
- Serve as the senior security presence for customer commitments in the region: audits, site visits, contractual obligations, and the relationships that depend on getting them right
- Drive consistency across the cluster by standardizing post orders, SOPs, access management, and incident response procedures, while tailoring execution to the realities of each site
- Partner with site operations, facilities, construction, and vendor teams to integrate security into every phase of the cluster's growth, from new builds to steady-state operations
Basic Qualifications:- 8+ years of physical security experience, with at least 3 years in a multi-site leadership role
- Direct experience managing contract guard forces, including post order development, performance management, and vendor accountability
- Strong working knowledge of Electronic Security Systems: ACS, VMS, intrusion detection, and how they integrate
- Demonstrated ability to lead people across distributed sites: direct reports, contractors, and cross-functional partners
- Comfortable owning incident response end-to-end, from initial call through investigation and reporting
- Willing to live in or relocate to West Texas, and travel across the regional cluster as the primary mode of work
Preferred Qualifications:- Prior experience in data center, critical infrastructure, or other 24/7 high-availability environments
- Experience supporting customer audits or third-party security assessments
- Background in construction-phase security or new site activation
- Industry credentials such as ASIS CPP, PSP, or PCI
- Familiarity with the cyber side of physical security: network considerations for ACS/VMS, device hardening, supply chain awareness
Salary & Benefits- Competitive total compensation package (salary + equity).
- Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms.
- Health, dental, and vision insurance.
- Generous PTO policy, in line with local norms.
