You may be a strong fit for this role if you’re the type of leader who likes to be where the operation is happening. You’re comfortable moving between client sites, talking with officers, identifying problems before they become bigger issues, and following through until they’re resolved.

You can work independently without losing sight of the bigger picture, and you know when to make a decision yourself and when to involve your Client Service Manager. Most importantly, you understand that strong security operations depend on both taking care of employees and delivering dependable service to clients.
