Requirements
Requirements
  • 12+ years of experience in corporate safety and security, including 7+ years leading managers and teams with a global scope and cross-functional impact—with a demonstrable record of building, not maintaining. You build high-performing organizations, develop leaders, and set direction clearly. You stay close enough to the work to know when execution is falling short
  • A track record of building or significantly transforming a physical security function, not inheriting a mature one. You have stood up programs, hired teams, selected and implemented technology, and established operating models that outlasted your tenure
  • You have operated physical security programs across multiple countries and jurisdictions, not managed them remotely. You understand how regulatory environments, cultural context, and vendor ecosystems differ across regions and how to build programs that work in all of them
  • You do not need to be a technologist, but you need to think like one. You understand physical security systems, including access control, video management, guest management, analytics, and hardware infrastructure, at the conceptual and operational level. You pick up new technologies quickly, have strong opinions about what good looks like, own how systems are implemented and operated, and drive requirements processes that keep infrastructure aligned to what is actually happening in the field
  • Experience managing physical security vendors and contract staffing at scale, with a track record of competitive procurement, enforced performance standards, and cost discipline across multi-million dollar budgets
  • You operate well in fast-moving, ambiguous environments. You make sound decisions with incomplete information, sequence work thoughtfully, and maintain pace across competing priorities
  • You can set direction with senior leaders, build cross-functional alignment, and represent the function credibly at the executive level. You communicate clearly and without unnecessary complexity
  • A trusted cross-functional partner who builds strong working relationships with Real Estate, Facilities, Workforce Strategy, HR, Legal, and IT, and earns the confidence of business leaders by making security an enabler, not a friction point
  • You use AI tools as a real part of how you work, not as a novelty. You understand where and how AI should shape physical security operations: automation, detection, analytics, workflow acceleration, and decision support. You have a genuine conviction about AI's role in the function's evolution and a real appetite to keep growing your own capability
Job Responsibility
Job Responsibility
  • Build a unified global access control program. Own and execute enterprise-grade physical access control across all corporate facilities. Establish layered identity controls, mobile-first and biometric credentialing, automated provisioning and deprovisioning tied to employment and role, and consistent access experiences at every office. Ensure access is regularly audited, sensitive spaces have clear ownership, and the physical environment supports rather than impedes the employee experience
  • Stand up emergency preparedness at scale. Build and certify Emergency Response Teams at every corporate location, publish and maintain Emergency Response Plans for all facilities, and establish severity levels, escalation protocols, and communications systems for rapid response. Build law enforcement and first responder relationships globally, and lead regular incident exercises and tabletop simulations
  • Build a threat assessment and workplace violence prevention program. Establish a structured capability for threat intake, behavioral assessment, and case management to protect employees and enable early intervention. Define policies, cross-functional escalation pathways, and response protocols that span all brands and jurisdictions. Partner with other Global Safety and Security functions, as well as HR, Legal, and business leaders, to build a program that is rigorous, jurisdiction-aware, and locally calibrated across a globally diverse workforce
  • Build and run a global training and awareness program. Ensure every employee knows emergency response procedures and how to reach the Global Operations Center. Drive First Aid, CPR, AED, and Stop the Bleed certification across a meaningful share of the corporate workforce. Develop a safety and security communications strategy that builds culture and delivers training in formats that actually stick
  • Own event safety and security. Define risk management standards, policies, and procedures for corporate events globally. Set clear security requirements thresholds, ensure event hosts understand and follow the process, and deliver security planning, staffing, and incident response across all brands and regions
  • Drive global standardization and compliance. Establish cradle-to-grave standardized safety and security integrations, implementations, and operations across all corporate offices. Ensure regulatory compliance with occupational health and safety and physical security requirements across all jurisdictions. Maintain policies with a regular review cadence and clear accountability for high-value and sensitive assets
  • Run the function with operational discipline. Own a multi-million dollar budget with variance discipline and accurate accruals. Define vendor requirements, run competitive procurement, and hold suppliers to measurable performance standards. Maintain team engagement, deliver against functional OKRs, and ensure all corporate facilities are risk-assessed and audited on a defined cadence
