4. Security Vendor Management – Manage security service providers by overseeing contracts, monitoring performance, and optimizing costs while maintaining effective security coverage.

5. Regulatory Compliance – Ensure compliance with security regulations by coordinating with government agencies, law enforcement, and emergency response organizations to maintain legal and safety standards.

• Certifications: * Deployed Basic Occupational Safety and Health (BOSH) Certification, Certified Protection Professional (CPP), Physical Security Professional (PSP), or Certified Security Manager (CSM) designations.

• Demonstrated success in designing, developing, and deploying large-scale security frameworks, ideally across a diverse multi-site corporate or institutional ecosystem.

• Deep experience interfacing with government regulatory enforcement branches like the PNP, BFP, and local city safety inspectors.
