Partner with leadership to embed a security-first mindset into E-Space’s culture of innovation and responsibility.
Oversee corporate physical security programs across commercial and non-classified facilities.
Manage physical access control systems, including employee, contractor, and visitor access.
Administer badging programs, including credential issuance, access reviews, and badge revocation.
Oversee video surveillance and camera systems, including monitoring, retention, maintenance, and investigative support.
Coordinate facility security measures with Corporate Security, Facilities, Human Resources, Information Security, and Legal.
Ensure the protection of company personnel, facilities, equipment, and other corporate assets.
Review and approve physical security controls for offices, restricted areas, secure spaces, and sensitive business operations.
Investigate and report physical security incidents, unauthorized access, theft, workplace security concerns, and policy violations.

What You Bring:

Active U.S. Top Secret (TS) clearance (with SCI eligibility strongly preferred).
