Department: Security

Reports To: Security Supervisor

Job Description: The Security Specialist is responsible for the end-to-end management of internal and external investigations, threat assessments, and the mitigation of risks to corporate assets, intellectual property, and personnel. This role moves beyond oversight to the active detection, analysis, and resolution of security breaches and policy violations within the Jeffersonville manufacturing site and professional offices.

Primary Responsibilities: Strategic Security Responsibilities and Processes

• Conduct professional interviews with witnesses, victims, and subjects of investigations, maintaining strict adherence to legal standards and corporate ethics.
• Act as the primary point of contact for local law enforcement during criminal investigations, ensuring evidence is preserved and chain of custody is maintained.
• Conduct targeted security audits that simulate "adversary" tactics to identify weaknesses in perimeter fencing, entrance gates, and high-value storage areas.
• Refine contingency plans for security breaches (e.g., unauthorized access or data exfiltration) to include formal "Post-Incident Reviews" (PIRs) that drive policy changes.
• Analyze trends from routine daily security reports to identify emerging threats before they result in a site violation.

Qualifications and Experience:

• Proficient in utilizing various computer software, including MS Office, security management platforms, and incident reporting tools.
