• Support alignment between event security planning and broader Corporate Security protocols and enterprise priorities
• Ensure successful budgeting and cost control in collaboration with the respective event leads

Risk Management & Security Oversight-

• Identify and assess risks related to venue security, executive attendance, protest activity, disruptive behavior, crowd management, emergency response, and other operational concerns
• Recommend scalable security measures based on threat environment, event sensitivity, executive presence, and business impact
• Support incident response planning for events, including medical, fire, evacuation, protest, disruptive attendee, and other contingency scenarios
• Monitor event conditions and adjust security posture as needed based on changing circumstances

Operational Readiness & Program Support-

• Develop repeatable processes, checklists, and standards for event security planning and execution
• Maintain documentation, including security plans, staffing requests, vendor coordination details, and after-action summaries
• Conduct post-event reviews to identify lessons learned and opportunities for program improvement
• Support the continued maturation of event security as a formal capability within Corporate Security

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Significant experience in corporate security, event security, physical security, or related fields.
• Demonstrated experience planning and managing security for events, high-visibility and large-scale meetings, and executive engagements.
• Strong understanding of risk assessment, security operations, access control, incident response, and emergency planning.
• Proven ability to coordinate across multiple stakeholders in a fast-paced, highly matrixed environment.
• Strong judgment and ability to make sound decisions in dynamic operational settings.
• Excellent communication, planning, and organizational skills.
• Ability to manage multiple events and priorities simultaneously while maintaining attention to detail
• Experience supporting security for executive events, corporate conferences, public-facing events, or large internal gatherings.
