A prominent New York–based firm is seeking a seasoned Security Professional to work as the right hand to their Global Head of Security, overseeing all aspects of executive protection, physical security, and access control operations. This individual will be responsible for planning, coordinating, and directing the firm’s security infrastructure, including access control systems, CCTV, and related technology. Working closely with IT, Facilities, and outside integrators, this person will ensure that all platforms are seamlessly integrated, maintained, and upgraded in accordance with regulatory standards and best practices. Responsibilities include: executive protection, developing and implementing physical security policies and emergency action plans across multiple locations, conducting risk analyses, investigating breaches or incidents, and managing vendor relationships and budgets for security operations and construction projects.

This includes developing and maintaining executive protection protocols, vetting and training personnel, coordinating high-profile events and board meetings, and maintaining absolute discretion regarding sensitive information.

The ideal candidate will remain informed about emerging technologies and global risk trends, proactively recommending enhancements to strengthen the firm’s overall security posture.
