  • Drive large-scale security initiatives, including new technology implementations and operational enhancements
  • Monitor program performance through KPIs, reporting, and continuous improvement efforts
  • Manage vendor relationships, contracts, and security-related budgets

Qualifications

Required:
  • 8+ years of experience in physical security, corporate security, emergency management, or related fields

  • Familiarity with access control, visitor management, video surveillance, and security platforms
  • Knowledge of business continuity and crisis management frameworks
  • Relevant certifications (CPP, PSP, CEM, CBCP, PMP, or similar)

Success Measures

In this role, you will:
  • Assess and enhance existing security and emergency preparedness programs
  • Establish consistent standards and governance across all locations
  • Lead modernization initiatives for access control and security technology
  • Improve operational efficiency, compliance, and risk mitigation
  • Strengthen the organization's readiness and response to security and emergency events
