Position Title:</div>
Security Operations Coordinator<div></div><div>
Job Description:</div><div>
Legislative Administration is recruiting for the newest member of the Security Operations team.</div><div></div><div>
The Security Operations Coordinator supports the daily execution of the Legislative Capitol&rsquo;s security program, working under the direction of the Security Manager. This role prioritizes the administration and maintenance of Electronic Security Systems (ESS), including Access Control Systems, sensors, CCTV, and Intrusion Detection Systems. The Coordinator also provides daily operational support and is a liaison for both Legislative stakeholders and external security partners. Concurrently, the Coordinator executes compliance checks of the contracted guard force, working directly with the Contract Security Supervisor to ensure all guard activities adhere strictly to Legislative policies and post orders.</div><div></div><div>
This position is generally administrative with programmatic leadership and is NOT classified as a Law Enforcement (Police) role; it carries no sworn authority or investigative mandate. It is not a Cybersecurity role, as its technical scope is limited to the physical protection and monitoring of ESS hardware rather than network defense. Furthermore, it is not a Security Guard position, as duties are centered on contract auditing and operational tasks rather than active patrolling or post-standing. Finally, it is not a Systems Technician role, as the incumbent manages project lifecycles and vendor performance rather than performing manual hardware repairs or electrical installation.</div><div></div><div>
Reporting directly to the Security Manager, this role assists in developing security policies and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), applying critical thinking to ensure alignment with NIST, CISA, and security industry standards. A foundational understanding of risk and project management principles is essential for leading operational upgrades, technology deployments, and compliance initiatives. This role assumes operational oversight of the department during the Manager's absence to maintain continuity.</div><div></div><div>
Prior law enforcement, military police, or government security operations experience is highly preferred. Candidates with said experience are encouraged to apply.</div><div></div><div>
This is a full-time, continuing position, located at the Oregon State Capitol. The Capitol building is located at 900 Court Street NE, Salem, OR 97301. While remote work may be available when business needs allow, candidates should be aware that the majority of work will be done on site.</div><div></div><div>
The work history and experience of the successful candidate will include:</div><div></div><div>
Knowledge of:</div><ul><li>
Access control systems, badging standards, and alarm activation/response protocols.</li><li>
Application of industry best practices (e.g., NIST, CISA, ASIS) to security operations, policy drafting, and system hardening.</li><li>
Complex physical electronic security systems (ESS) architecture and maintenance processes, including Access Control Systems, CCTV, and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS).</li><li>
Contracted security service compliance verification, technical inspection protocols, and monitoring of vendor performance metrics (KPIs).</li><li>
Data integrity standards, key performance indicators (KPIs), and principles of risk and project management.</li><li>
Emergency communications systems, multi-agency coordination, and regulatory guidelines for incident response.</li><li>
Post-incident review methodologies, corrective action planning, and formal after-action review (AAR) processes.</li></ul><div></div><div>
Skill in:</div><ul><li>
Managing physical security operations, supervising vendors and aligning operations</li><li>
