Full Job Description
This is an exciting opportunity to join Guardteck's security team and be part of the impactful work we do.

The Opportunity: Own the client relationships and site teams behind some of the region's most visible security accounts.

This is a client-facing operations role with real financial ownership and a fast track into senior leadership.

You'll manage a portfolio of 15 sites leading through 15 site supervisors and 150 frontline staff.

Compensation: $85,000-$105,000 per year.

Location & schedule: Based in Burnaby, BC with regular travel to client sites across the region. $800 per month vehicle allowance.

Why this role, why now
  • Built for growth. We're scaling fast and invest in people who prove themselves - this is a feeder role into senior ops leadership, not a ceiling.
  • Full operational exposure. Client relations, team leadership, recruitment, compliance, financial oversight - you'll touch every part of the business.
  • Real ownership. You'll run your own portfolio of accounts with genuine visibility into performance, not just a coordination seat.
  • A team that notices. Wins get recognized, big and small, in a culture that's deliberately not corporate-default.

What you'll actually do
  • Be the face of the account. Run regular client check-ins, site visits, and quarterly business reviews - you own the relationship end to end.
  • Keep contracts on track. Track staffing compliance, incident response times, and audit results against what we've promised clients.
  • Lead through your site supervisors. Coach and mentor site-level leadership so service quality holds even when you're not in the room.
  • Own the numbers. Monitor site budgets, resolve billing disputes, and keep account performance aligned to financial targets.
  • Drive improvement, not just maintenance. Spot where service, staffing, or process can get better - and lead the fix.


WHAT YOU BRING

4 to 5+ years in account management, client services, or operations leadership - security, facilities, property management, or hospitality backgrounds all translate well
  • Confident relationship-builder who's comfortable owning client escalations
  • Proven ability to coach and lead supervisors or frontline teams
  • Strong financial literacy - budgets, invoicing, contract terms
  • Sharp judgment, discretion, and follow-through under multiple priorities
  • Comfortable in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment
  • Class 5 driver's licence, no restrictions
  • Technologically agile, with working familiarity across security and frontline tech stacks (workforce management, reporting, communications platforms) and a confident understanding of AI-enabled tools shaping the industry.
  • ASIS APP (Associate Protection Professional) or CPP (Certified Protection Professional) certification is a definite asset - and if you don't hold it yet, we're happy to support you in obtaining it.

What we offer

  • Competitive pay: $85,000-$105,000
  • Benefits: extended health & dental, vacation, vehicle allowance, phone & laptop, and a professional-development budget of $2000 per year.
  • Real growth: we promote from within - those who step up and deliver have a clear path into senior operations leadership.
  • Purpose and culture: a team that communicates clearly, supports one another, and shows up ready to perform - doing work that keeps communities safe and facilities running smoothly.
