The Security Manager is responsible for directly leading and developing Security team members, building and maintaining collaborative relationships with Operating Company, Business Unit, and Information Technology (IT) leadership, as well as external partners, suppliers, and vendors.

The Security Manager is also responsible for managing annual O&M and capital budgets.
