Position Summary and Objective

The Site Security Manager – Residential Client Program is the primary owner and trusted operator for a high‑net‑worth client’s residential security program and affiliated properties. This role is responsible for the day‑to‑day security posture of the client’s primary residence, executive protection support as required, and direct coordination with Global Guardian’s operations and leadership teams. In addition to core security responsibilities, the Site Security Manager is expected to ensure that any client‑related operational, safety, or security‑adjacent need is identified, coordinated, and resolved, either directly or through appropriate internal or external resources. This position requires a mature, solutions‑oriented professional who can operate independently, exercise sound judgment, and maintain absolute discretion. For approximately 45 days per year, the Site Security Manager will stand up, manage, and demobilize a temporary residential security team at the primary residence. Outside of this surge period, the role returns to steady‑state residential operations while also serving as a mobile response leader, traveling to other client sites or properties as needed to assess, stabilize, and resolve issues with the same level of ownership as the primary residence.
