- Inspect site conditions, report hazards or control gaps, and track corrective actions with Workplace, Facilities, and security service partners
- Support emergency readiness through drills, evacuation procedures, business continuity activities, and practical follow-up after incidents
- Coordinate with security vendors and cross-functional partners to maintain professional coverage and a safe, welcoming employee and visitor experience across assigned sites
- Directly manage and develop contract security personnel, including onboarding, training, and reinforcement of SOPs
- Maintain regular site presence through travel to assigned offices to build relationships, assess risk, and support operational consistency
- Coordinate with Workplace Experience and Global Operations Center on off-site corporate employee event security planning and execution
- Act as a local decision maker during incidents, ensuring calm response, clear escalation, and strong written follow-through
- Identify gaps in site security posture through assessments and signal detection, and drive remediation with the right partners
- Build trust with cross-functional partners by showing up reliably, communicating clearly, and setting appropriate boundaries
