The Global Security Operations Coordinator is the strategic "engine room" of Global Security. This is not a purely administrative role; it is a high-visibility position for a professional who bridges the gap between technical security expertise (CPP) and rigorous project/financial management (PMP). As a critical partner to the Chief Security Officer (CSO) and the Director of Global Security Operations, you will transform security gaps into funded, executed, and tracked initiatives.

Work visa sponsorship is not available for this position.

What you'll do

Global Security Training: Partner with internal teams (HR, L&D, RSMs) to design, schedule, and track global security awareness and specialized training programs.
Regional Support & Strategy: Serve as the primary operational hub providing resources to international offices while project-managing high-level, data-driven security initiatives.
Survey Standardization & Audit Readiness: Oversee the global schedule for physical security surveys and maintain a centralized site-posture repository to ensure continuous audit and insurance compliance.
Risk Remediation Project Management: Apply PMP methodologies to translate survey findings into actionable project plans, tracking timelines and stakeholder accountability to close security gaps.
End-to-End Procurement (SAP Ariba): Manage the full procurement lifecycle, including vendor onboarding, PO creation, service verification, and invoice reconciliation.
Financial & Compliance Stewardship: Monitor global spend, deliver monthly financial variance reports, and ensure all vendors comply with data privacy (GDPR/CCPA) and legal standards.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, or Security Management.
5+ years of experience in corporate security, business operations, or a project management office (PMO) environment.
Advanced proficiency in Gemini, SAP Ariba (or similar ERP) and Microsoft Excel (pivot tables, VLOOKUPs, financial modeling).

Preferred Qualifications

The ability to translate security risks into financial business cases that resonate with stakeholders.
Using the Enterprise Security Risk Management (ESRM) framework to prioritize risks while ensuring mitigation stays within budget.
Exceptional ability to navigate and influence internal hierarchies across Legal, IT, HR, and Finance.
A deep understanding of how global data privacy regulations impact security vendor management.
