Senior Manager, Physical Security

Description

The Experience

The Senior Manager, Physical Security is part of Salesforce's Global Security team, responsible for keeping our people, assets, and operations safe across our Northeast US locations — including New York, Boston, and Washington DC. This is an office-based, in-person role reporting to the Senior Director of Physical Security.

We're looking for a seasoned security leader to drive our regional physical security program forward. You'll lead a team of talented security professionals, build strong partnerships across the business, and make a real impact on the safety of our employees and workplaces every day. This role includes occasional travel within the region.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

• Lead and mentor a regional team of security professionals, fostering a culture of collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement across multiple Northeast US locations.
• Serve as the Subject Matter Expert for physical security operations in your Area of Responsibility (AoR), overseeing access control, guard force staffing, and enterprise risk management — while ensuring alignment with global security standards.
• Manage security for small to medium-sized in-region and on-campus events, and support large-scale public-facing events as needed; lead emergency response initiatives including crisis management plans, tabletop exercises, and live drills.
• Oversee the regional security budget, vendor relationships, and quarterly business reviews, capturing key metrics and reporting on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).

You're Our Person If...

• You have 10+ years of experience in security operations or a closely related field in the public or private sector.
• You have a proven track record leading security teams with a focus on operations, training, and budgeting.
• You communicate and lead effectively under pressure, with strong skills in presentation, writing, research, and analysis.
• You've developed relationships with federal, state, and local law enforcement and have experience proactively gathering intelligence to mitigate workplace violence and other security risks.

Even Better If...

• You have experience in a fast-paced corporate environment.
• You're eager to expand your expertise into areas like Risk Intelligence and Threat Monitoring, Investigations and Incident Response, Executive Protection, Security Systems and Technology, or Project Management.
