Security Site Lead
Lead on-site security posture for high-value AI compute infrastructure at data centers. Own all security systems, policies, vendor accountability, incident response, and represent security in site planning and operations.
About the job
Responsibilities
- Own accountability for every security system, process, and policy at your site, serving as the single leader responsible for its overall security posture.
- Act as the on-site escalation point for any issue in which security is a stakeholder, whether it originates in physical security, IT, construction, operations, or a customer-facing concern.
- Ensure the guard force, access control, and camera systems on-site are operating as designed, holding contracted vendors accountable to policy and SLA.
- Drive incident response at the site from first notification through resolution and after-action reporting, pulling in the right internal teams and vendors as needed.
- Enforce site security policy and standards, identifying gaps between what's documented and what's actually happening on the ground, and driving corrective action to close them.
- Represent security in site-level planning and decision-making, ensuring security requirements are accounted for in construction, deployment, and operational changes at your site.
Requirements
- Led site-level security at a data center, critical infrastructure facility, or other high-security site, owning the posture rather than executing a single function within it.
- Been the go-to escalation point for a facility, the person other teams call first when something security-relevant goes wrong.
- Held guard, access control, and camera vendors accountable to policy and SLA from a leadership seat, without running their day-to-day operations.
- Driven a security incident to resolution at the site level, coordinating across internal teams and external vendors.
- Can read a security policy, spot where the reality on the ground doesn't match it, and get it fixed.
- Communicate clearly and quickly under pressure.
