We are more than a protective layer; we are embedded partners in innovation, culture, and care. We work shoulder-to-shoulder with teams across the company, utilizing secure-by-design principles, enabling innovation, safeguarding trust, and supporting the people who make life-changing technology possible. This role isn’t just about security, it’s about leadership, partnership, and impact.

Where you come in:

You lead security for Penang, translating Global Security priorities and site risks into operational objectives, staffing plans, service standards, and measurable outcomes. You manage daily physical security operations, including contracted guard services, lobby and visitor operations, patrols, access control, CCTV, incident response, and event security. You determine how site security resources are deployed to meet schedules, coverage requirements, service expectations, and short-term business goals. You lead vendor governance, establish measurable service levels, validate staffing and invoices, and hold contracted providers accountable for training, quality, compliance, and corrective actions. You lead site security risk assessments, incident reviews, audits, and remediation plans, escalating material risks with clear recommendations and business impact. You serve as the site security lead during significant incidents and exercises, coordinating with site leadership, cross-functional partners, law enforcement, fire, and EMS. You partner with Manufacturing, Facilities, EHSS, HR/ER, Legal, Data Privacy, IT, Quality, Supply Chain, and other functions to integrate security into site operations and change initiatives. You oversee sensitive investigations support, including CCTV and access-control review, timeline development, evidence preservation, confidentiality, and chain of custody.

As the Security Manager for Penang, you are accountable for the performance and continuous improvement of the site security function. You lead through contracted security supervisors and personnel, influence across functions, manage resources and service delivery, and make risk-based decisions that protect employees, operations, assets, and business continuity.

You bring broad knowledge of physical security operations and leading practices across guard force management, access control, CCTV, investigations, incident response, emergency preparedness, and audit readiness. You have demonstrated management or team-lead experience, including setting objectives, allocating resources, coaching others, managing performance, and resolving complex operational issues. You can manage outsourced security providers through clear service levels, staffing standards, performance reviews, corrective actions, and financial discipline. You make sound, risk-based decisions in sensitive or rapidly evolving situations and communicate recommendations clearly to site leaders and functional managers. You build productive partnerships across Manufacturing, Facilities, EHSS, HR, Legal, Data Privacy, IT, Quality, Supply Chain, and external stakeholders. You use data, audits, incident trends, and stakeholder feedback to identify root causes, prioritize improvements, and measure results. You have experience supporting security in manufacturing, medical device, technology, supply chain, or a similarly regulated operating environment. You have working knowledge of Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT) supply-chain security requirements and Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) Code of Conduct expectations, including support for site assessments, audit evidence, corrective actions, and ongoing compliance. You communicate effectively in English; proficiency in Bahasa Malaysia and other languages used at the site is strongly preferred.
