Regional Security Director

The Company
Our client is a solid mid-western organization with operations around the world. Their customers view them as a long-respected, uniquely qualified innovator across multiple industries. They are committed to ensuring that the makeup of their organization is in keeping with the global locations in which they operate, and they have a strong philanthropic outreach program designed to give back to these communities. They support their employees located around the world through outstanding career opportunities and best-in-class benefits programs.

The Opportunity
This brand-new role for SMR’s dynamic and innovative client will develop and lead a comprehensive security and risk management program for the 15-country Americas region. Working with the senior-most levels of management in the organization, you will design and implement policies to assess domestic and international risk, manage crises and ensure continuity of operations. Your portfolio of responsibilities will encompass a wide range of security activities including supply chain integrity, complex investigations, and executive protection for key executives. You will also ensure all facilities in the region are assessed for risk and audited for compliance with key regulatory requirements including CTPAT and TAPA. Networking and building relationships with both internal stakeholders and external government and law enforcement entities will ensure you are also the go-to intelligence source for the region.

The Person
Someone who has a broad range of security experience will excel in this role. A degree is required and should be complemented by previous regional corporate security experience. Continued education is also valuable. A public sector intelligence or law enforcement agency background are additional pluses, and you should also be comfortable managing complex projects dealing with security system design. The ability to communicate in both English and Spanish will ensure you develop strong a rapport with diverse teams. International travel within the region means you must possess a passport and have the ability to travel sometimes on short notice.

Relocation
Relocation within the continental US is supported.
