• Oversee security risk reviews, safety programs, and contract compliance across all locations.
• Support special events, new site openings, and transitions to ensure smooth start-up and ongoing operations.
• Build strong relationships with client stakeholders, Securitas operations, and alliance partners.
• Coordinate global RFI/RFP responses, including pricing strategy and input from all regions.
• Drive innovation in processes, technology, and service offerings to create measurable value for the client.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree preferred.
• 5–10 years of progressive management experience in business management, security, or a related field.
• Strong client-facing and relationship management skills.
• Solid financial acumen, including experience with budgets and P&L responsibility.
