The Opportunity

Reporting to the Global Security Director, you will play a critical role in shaping and executing regional security strategy.

• Vetting and evaluating critical subcontractors (armored transport, airlines, storage facilities, etc.)
• Building trusted relationships with law enforcement, government bodies, and security networks
• Leading security awareness and training programs across the region
• Monitoring incidents, conducting root cause analysis, and implementing risk-reduction measures
• Contributing to strategic business decisions with expert security insight

What We’re Looking For

• 5–7+ years’ progressive experience in security management
• Background in military, law enforcement, corporate security, or high-risk logistics environments
• Experience within international valuables logistics, armored transport, or similar sectors is highly desirable
• Strong track record in drafting and enforcing SOPs in complex operational settings
• Deep knowledge of global security standards, audit processes, and incident response
• Confident communicator with the ability to influence stakeholders at all levels
• Fluent English (additional regional languages are an advantage)
• Willingness to travel extensively (50–60%) across the region and globally

Why Join Us?

• Be part of a globally respected valuables logistics organization
• Operate in a role with real strategic influence
• Work across international markets and high-profile clients
• Shape and elevate security standards across an entire region
• Join a culture that values professionalism, precision, and proactive risk management
