• Plan and deliver security concepts for executive visits, customer demonstrations, company events, and international trade fairs.
• Develop protective security measures for senior leadership, including travel security and risk‑based protection planning.
• Conduct site security assessments, identify vulnerabilities, and implement practical mitigation strategies.
• Lead the operational response to physical security incidents and support emergency preparedness across all locations.
• Partner with Facilities, Operations, IT, and external authorities to ensure consistent security standards and effective collaboration.
• Support the successful launch of new sites by embedding security requirements from planning through operational readiness.

What You Bring

• Extensive experience in physical security, protective security, corporate security, or critical infrastructure gained within defence, military, law enforcement, government, or comparable environments.
• Strong expertise in physical security technologies, including access control, CCTV, alarm, and intrusion detection systems.
• Experience managing external security providers, including vendor selection, contract management, and service performance.
• A strong understanding of physical security risk management, incident response, and site resilience.
• Experience developing security solutions for executive protection, events, or high‑profile operational activities.
• Confidence working across multiple stakeholders, building trusted relationships, and influencing decisions at all levels.
• A pragmatic, structured, and solutions‑focused approach with the ability to balance strategic thinking and operational delivery.
• Experience supporting security across multiple locations or within manufacturing, industrial, or high‑security environments is an advantage.
• Willingness to travel between company locations and participate in on‑call security support when required.
• Fluency in English is required. German language skills are a strong advantage.
