$26 per hour

Ursus Inc

JOB TITLE: Workplace Safety & Security Specialist
LOCATION: New York, NY
DURATION: 12 Months
PAY RANGE: $26/hr.
TOP SKILLS:
  1. Corporate office / workplace security (not primarily event/venue or guard-only backgrounds)
  2. Demonstrated ownership of access provisioning/deprovisioning + badging ops
  3. Experience coordinating incidents with building security / first responders
  4. Clear communication and service mindset
Company:
Our client is a fast-growing software company building collaborative productivity tools that help teams organize work, share knowledge, and streamline workflows.



Duties:
  • Lead the NYC site's emergency procedures during safety/security incidents (e.g., coordinating immediate response steps, escalation, building security/first responders, and internal notifications per established protocols).
  • Manage and monitor electronic access control and video surveillance systems; coordinate troubleshooting and vendor support as needed.
  • Run ID badging operations, including badge issuance, replacements, temporary badges, badge inventory controls, and access provisioning/deprovisioning support for onboarding/offboarding.
  • Support front desk operations as part of the company's broader physical security posture (in partnership with Workplace and front desk staff).
  • Support mail room / receiving operations, including secure handling, routing, and storage of deliveries and sensitive shipments.
  • Ensure visitor and vendor access aligns with established security and safety protocols (check-in, badging, approvals, escorts as needed, and restricted-area controls).
  • Partner with Facilities, Security Operations, Events, and People teams to promote workplace safety, emergency readiness, and compliance with company standards and local requirements.
  • Support corporate events, physical security audits, onboarding/offboarding processes, and emergency response training/drills.
  • Maintain incident logs and assist in investigations or follow-ups as needed; ensure thorough documentation and timely handoffs.
  • Provide hospitality-minded service to employees and guests while prioritizing safety, confidentiality, and sound judgment.
Skills:
  • 2+ years of experience in physical security, safety, facilities, workplace operations, or related operational roles.
  • Experience supporting emergency preparedness and serving in an on-site incident response role (e.g., drill coordination, executing site procedures, incident documentation).
  • Familiarity with access control and video monitoring platforms (e.g., LenelS2, Genetec, Kisi, HID, Rhombus).
  • Experience with ID badging processes (issuance, inventory control, temporary badges) and access provisioning/deprovisioning workflows.
  • Strong communication, customer service, and situational awareness skills; able to stay calm and effective during incidents.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage sensitive information and act with discretion.
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, startup environment and coordinating across multiple teams/vendors.
Bonus Skills:
  • Experience in technology or startup environments.
  • Knowledge of emergency preparedness, life safety, or occupational safety programs.
  • Certifications or coursework in security, safety, or emergency management (e.g., OSHA 10/30, ASIS, FEMA/ICS).
Education:
  • High school diploma or GED required.
  • Associate's or Bachelor's degree in criminal justice, emergency management, occupational safety, security management, or a related field preferred (or equivalent practical experience).

Compensation details listed in this posting reflect the base hourly rate or annual salary only, unless otherwise stated. In addition to base compensation, full-time roles are eligible for Medical, Dental, Vision, Commuter and 401K benefits with company matching.
