Security Operations Manager
We are seeking an experienced Security Operations Manager to lead and develop a high-performing security function across operational sites, systems, and personnel. This role will be responsible for maintaining a secure environment, protecting people, assets, information, and business continuity while ensuring that security practices support operational objectives. The successful candidate will provide visible leadership, sound judgement, and a proactive approach to identifying and managing risk.
Key responsibilities will include developing and implementing security policies, standards, and operating procedures; overseeing day-to-day security operations, including access control, incident response, monitoring, investigations, and emergency preparedness; and managing relationships with internal stakeholders, external security providers, law enforcement, and relevant regulatory bodies. You will lead security risk assessments, recommend appropriate mitigations, monitor performance against agreed service levels, and produce clear reports for senior management. The role will also involve reviewing incidents and trends, coordinating investigations, maintaining accurate records, and driving continuous improvement across the security operation.
Applicants should have substantial experience in security management, operations, or a closely related discipline, with a strong understanding of physical security, security systems, incident management, and risk assessment. Experience managing teams, contractors, budgets, and third-party suppliers is essential, as is the ability to remain calm and decisive in challenging situations. A relevant professional qualification or recognised security certification would be advantageous. You will be an effective communicator with strong influencing and organisational skills, capable of working confidentially and collaboratively at all levels. The position may require flexibility to support out-of-hours incidents, operational changes, and occasional travel between locations.
