Requirements

  • 8–12+ years leading multi-site physical security programs or capital projects across corporate real estate or mission-critical environments; strong program/project management (you can run the room and the schedule)
  • Proven success partnering with D&C/REW/IT and security integrators; adept at working with GCs, subs, architects, and all trades to execute design plans at pace and quality
  • Deep hands-on experience with enterprise access control, VMS/CCTV, intrusion, visitor management, and command-center workflows; understanding of device placement, line-of-sight, lighting, and analytics
  • Ability to read, mark up, and direct from drawings (CAD/Bluebeam; Revit a plus); comfort reviewing submittals, shop drawings, and one-lines; familiarity with as-built documentation practices
  • Working knowledge of relevant codes and standards (e.g., NFPA 72, UL 294, ANSI/BICSI 005/ESS), and how they interact with building systems and life safety
  • Strong vendor management and commercial acumen (RFP/SOW development for high-security environments, TCO, change orders, acceptance/warranty)

Responsibilities

  • Lead security planning and design for new builds and remodels; develop the basis of design, device schedules, and design-review gates (30/60/90/IFC), ensuring alignment to CorpSec standards and regulatory requirements
  • Own cross-functional coordination among CorpSec, D&C, REW, Global IT, and external partners to ensure security technology is fully integrated with architectural, MEP, and network designs; resolve conflicts early via structured design reviews and RFIs
  • Deliver technical security systems: access control (e.g., proximity, mobile credentials, biometrics), CCTV, intrusion detection, visitor management, intercoms, and command-center integrations (GSOC) from design through commissioning and handover
  • Oversee vendors and integrators: write/shape RFPs/SOWs, run competitive bids, evaluate proposals, manage contracts, track performance, execute FAT/SAT/UAT, and close punch lists; enforce warranty and support transitions
  • Drive schedule, budget, and quality: maintain the integrated project plan, risk register, and change control; escalate blockers; report status and metrics to leadership; ensure accurate as-builts, O&M, and training
  • Coordinate network and server prerequisites with Global IT and ensure secure enterprise integrations
  • Standardize and continuously improve: codify best-in-class physical security standards and templates (design details, test scripts, acceptance criteria); contribute to multi-site playbooks and lessons learned
  • Safeguard people, facilities, and assets by ensuring physical and technical controls are appropriate to the threat environment; align with privacy, legal, and compliance guidance
