Key job responsibilities: As a Data Center Security Manager (individual contributor) you will be tasked with driving operational security excellence in several separate facilities located within a short driving distance.

You will extract metrics and observe improvements by looking at hard data. You will make suggestions on improving electronic surveillance and access controls. You will direct efforts to educate data center occupants on false alarm reductions. You will write and implement security process and procedures.
