Position Summary

The Security Manager leads the organization’s enterprise-wide physical security, investigations, loss prevention, incident response, and protective services programs across a complex operating footprint.

This role is accountable for safeguarding people, property, product, and operations—designing and executing modern security programs that integrate cutting-edge electronic surveillance and AI-assisted interpretation of surveillance outputs to prevent, detect, and respond to theft, intrusion, sabotage, threats, and other security risks. The Security Manager is a hands‑on leader with deep investigative capability and demonstrated experience leading professional security teams in multi‑site environments.

Key Responsibilities

Enterprise Security Strategy & Governance: Develop and implement a risk‑based security strategy for all operational sites, establish enterprise‑wide standards for physical security and access controls, and lead security risk assessments to prioritize mitigation efforts and capital needs.

Security Technology, Electronic Surveillance & AI-Enabled Analytics: Oversee the roadmap for modern security technologies—including CCTV, access control, intrusion detection, and AI-enabled surveillance—while implementing advanced analytics for improved prevention and response. Establish governance for surveillance review, retention, chain of custody, and escalation to ensure systems support investigative and compliance requirements.

Operational Site Security (Multi‑Site): Oversee security operations across all sites, including guard force management, patrol protocols, and response readiness. Partner with site leaders to mitigate high risk vulnerabilities—such as fuel, equipment, spare parts, metal theft, product diversion, and afterhours access—and provide security support for logistics and product distribution, addressing risks tied to a large, dispersed driver workforce.

Incident Response, Emergency Management & Law Enforcement Coordination: Lead incident response for major security events, serve as primary security liaison with local/state/federal law enforcement and relevant community partners.

Lead the security team across multiple locations; set performance expectations, training requirements, and professional standards.

Manage security vendors and contracts, including guard services and technology integrators.

Metrics, Reporting & Budget: Build executive-ready dashboards and reporting: incident trends, loss metrics, case outcomes, response times, compliance status, and technology performance. Manage security budgets for the operation.
