Vice President, Enterprise Security Architect

The preferred location for this role is either Denver, CO, or Sterling, VA. Qualified candidates based near other Edge Core locations, including Santa Clara, CA;
Reno, NV; and Mesa, AZ, will also be considered. This role requires an in-office presence four days per week and regular travel (up to 40%).

As Vice President, Enterprise Security Architect, you will be the architectural authority for Edge Core’s converged security environment — mapping, documenting, and governing systems and configurations across both physical security and cybersecurity. This is a distinctive convergence role: few organizations offer the opportunity to unify the architecture of enterprise access control, video, and key management platforms with the networks, servers, identities, and cybersecurity controls that underpin them, across a multi-billion-dollar data center portfolio.

You will create the authoritative system-of-record for how every security system is built, connected, configured, and secured — and use it to drive standardization, hardening, and integration as the portfolio scales. Success in this role means a complete and current enterprise security architecture, enforced configuration baselines across all campuses, secure and well-governed integrations between physical and logical security domains, and audit-ready documentation for customers and compliance frameworks.

• Own the enterprise security architecture spanning physical security systems (access control, video management, key/asset management, biometrics) and cybersecurity infrastructure, establishing a unified reference architecture for the portfolio.
• Map, document, and maintain the authoritative inventory of all security systems, integrations, data flows, and configurations across all campuses — including servers, network paths, dependencies, and as-built records.
• Define and enforce configuration standards and hardening baselines for security platforms (e.g., Genetec Security Center, Traka, biometric systems) and their underlying operating systems, databases, and networks.
• Architect and govern the network design supporting security systems, including segmentation, remote access, monitoring, and integration with cybersecurity tooling (e.g., SIEM, vulnerability management).
• Lead physical/logical convergence initiatives, including identity and credential lifecycle management across physical access control and enterprise identity systems.
• Own vulnerability and patch governance for security systems, including vendor patching SLAs, cybersecurity requirements in vendor SOWs, and verification of compliance.
• Map system architecture and configurations to customer security standards and compliance frameworks (e.g., hyperscale customer requirements, SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST), supporting audits with authoritative documentation.
• Evaluate and architect new security technologies and integrations, including proofs of concept, integration roadmaps, and standards for onboarding new platforms and sites.
• Partner across physical security, IT, cybersecurity, operations, and vendors to align architecture decisions, and provide executive-level architecture documentation, risk analysis, and reporting.
• Security is a shared responsibility. All employees are required to comply with company security policies and procedures and to help protect company information, systems, and assets in the course of their daily work.

• 12+ years of security architecture or engineering experience spanning both physical security systems and information/cybersecurity, including 5+ years in senior or principal-level roles (required).
• Deep expertise in enterprise physical security platform architecture — access control, video management, and key/asset management;
