About the role The Site Security Manager (SSM) serves as the day‑to‑day manager of a 24/7 datacenter physical security operations team, supporting a client’s datacenter or other critical facility. Reporting to a Campus Security Manager (CSM), the SSM builds a cohesive, high‑performing team that delivers a safe, secure, and compliant environment while meeting client expectations. The SSM also collaborates with other campus security leaders to maintain consistent security standards across the campus. Additional responsibilities may include client service and issue resolution, service enhancements, Security Operations Center (SOC) systems maintenance, audit compliance, system monitoring, log and documentation maintenance, and access rights administration.

What you’ll do In this role, the Site Security Manager (SSM) leads the on‑site security team and oversees day‑to‑day security operations within a 24/7 environment. You are responsible for directly managing security personnel, including administrative officers, responders, control room staff, and other security team members, while ensuring consistent staffing coverage and operational continuity. You partner with local leadership to support recruiting, hiring, onboarding, training, and employee development. This includes coaching and mentoring team members, setting expectations, and managing performance and corrective actions in line with company policy. You also work closely with client leadership across multiple business groups to support site operations. Operationally, you ensure compliance with security policies, procedures, and standard operating guidelines. You monitor site performance and key metrics, identify risks or security gaps, and drive corrective actions and continuous improvement. You maintain required documentation, logs, and reports, oversee on‑site security systems such as access control, CCTV, and incident management tools, and support audits, inspections, and other compliance activities. The role requires clear, professional communication with clients and internal partners, including leading meetings and presentations.
