The work spans cloud-native video management, enterprise access control, AI-assisted monitoring, and automation platforms, partnering with cross-functional teams to keep Zoom's people, facilities, and operations safe and secure. Expect real breadth: from leading technology design and deployment to supporting 24/7 business continuity, this position rewards both technical depth and collaborative problem-solving. This is a hybrid position that requires on-site presence 4 days per week at our London, England office. Remote arrangements are not available for this role.

About the Team

Responsibilities

• Partner with the physical security team, cross-functional counterparts (Workplace, Business Resilience, EHS, IT), and external partners on all physical security technology and design matters impacting people, facilities, and processes.
• Advise on and guide security planning for new office design, expansions, conversions, and restructuring, serving as the liaison between Workplace, Physical Security, Business Resilience, and EHS to promote change management and ensure compliance with standards.
• Design and propose integrated physical security solutions for deterrence, delay, detection, and response to threats, leading design reviews with key stakeholders to ensure protection-in-depth across all Zoom locations.
• Prepare RFPs with technical requirements and cost estimates, lead bid reviews with stakeholders, support procurement and contracting, and provide quality assurance on bills of materials for security integrators.
• Lead installation and acceptance testing phases for physical security system upgrades and new deployments, coordinating closely with vendors and key stakeholders throughout.
• Own the full lifecycle of physical security system assets, including SOP development, periodic testing and auditing, maintenance, troubleshooting of system and network issues, and annual training delivery.
• Manage the physical security systems budget across Zoom locations, and contribute to ongoing research, policy review, and technology recommendations that strengthen Zoom's security posture.
• Provide operational support to the physical security team, maintaining 24/7 business resilience across Zoom's worldwide office and data center portfolio, with flexibility to support global sites across time zones.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in physical security for a private sector multinational company, including management of security technology projects, scope, budget, and third-party contracts.
• Demonstrated expertise in physical security technology controls, including Automated Access Control Systems (AACS), CCTV, intrusion detection, and alarm systems, with experience leading design and implementation projects.
• Familiarity with vulnerability and threat assessments, incident management, site assessments, and general security operations in enterprise or critical infrastructure environments.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with a track record of collaborating across cross-functional teams including IT, Workplace, Facilities, and external vendors.
