THE OPPORTUNITY

Lead Corporate Security technology projects from business case through implementation and sustainment, integrating CCTV, GPS, access control, monitoring platforms, analytics and automation to strengthen risk management, operational efficiency and decision-making. Bring a strong technology background and hands-on technical understanding to personally develop solution assessments, functional and technical requirements, project documentation, business cases and implementation deliverables needed to take initiatives form concept to closure. Identify, evaluate and develop AI-driven solutions and intelligent agents to optimize corporate security processes, enhance analytics and generate measurable business value, while ensuring responsible AI use and appropriate controls. Coordinate stakeholders, vendors and cross-functional teams and apply Agile and hybrid project management practices throughout the project lifecycle.

YOUR IMPACT

• Lead the end-to-end delivery of Corporate Security technology projects using PMP, Agile, Scrum and hybrid practices, with accountability for scope, value, risk, budget, schedule, quality and adoption.
