- Develop emergency notifications, evacuation plans, and drills.

- Liaise with local law enforcement.

- Prevent workplace violence in partnership with People and Legal.

## What You Need

- 6+ years in corporate or physical security, including 3+ years owning a security program or major workstream at a multi-site company.

- Hands-on depth in at least two of the three areas (executive protection, event security, physical security systems) and solid working knowledge of the third.

- Experience with enterprise access control and video platforms (e.g., Avigilon Alta/Openpath, Verkada, Genetec, LenelS2).

- A track record of managing security vendors through contracts, SLAs, budgets, and performance reviews.

- Strong risk judgment and excellent writing skills.

- Willingness to work from our NYC office 4 days a week, travel 10–15%, support occasional evening and weekend events, and serve as primary on-call for physical security incidents.
