The Campus Security Manager (CSM) leads a team of site security personnel, including site managers, field training officers and security officers and is accountable for delivery of physical security related services at one or more assigned datacenters in a geographic area. The CSM is responsible for the leadership development of the people that report to them, while also accountable for security operations delivery at these datacenters.

Responsible for preserving an environment where people and property are safe and well-protected, the CSM utilizes their professional experience to manage people with varying skillsets and develop effective strategies to drive improvement. The CSM reports directly to the regional security manager, and works alongside other site security managers in their metro.

You will actively manage and develop site security personnel by partnering with local branch leadership to support recruiting, hiring, onboarding, training, coaching, and performance management, while ensuring all team members are treated with dignity and respect. You will drive safety as a core operational priority, implementing safety programs and initiatives with the goal of zero workplace injuries.
