Job Title: Physical Security Project Manager — Specialty Sites (M&A, MAC & Renovation)
Location: Remote with 30% Travel – Needs to be based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, Washington DC, or NYC, NY
Duration: 12 Months
Role Scope: ~50% core Physical Security Project Management; ~50% specialty site delivery — co-working, M&A, MAC, renovation, decommissioning, and audits.
Position Summary
Deliver physical security for the projects that fall outside the standard new-build model: co-working and temporary space, acquired M&A sites, moves/adds/changes (MAC), renovations and refreshes, and decommissioning. These build types lack fit-for-purpose standards and dedicated ownership today, producing stranded assets, unrecovered spend, and compliance gaps. This role is the dedicated program owner for that portfolio.
Key Responsibilities
Decommissioning & Asset Recovery | MAC, Renovation & Audits | Specialty Build Types
- Own decommissioning end to end — from exit decision through asset disposition and system deprovisioning
- Build and run the asset recovery model: identification of recoverable hardware, condition assessment, removal and logistics, refurbishment, warehousing, and redeployment to active projects
- Eliminate stranded assets and capture recoverable spend; report recovery rates and avoided cost
- Close compliance gaps at exit: credential and system deprovisioning, license decommissioning, data and video retention handling, badge recovery, and documented certification of closure
- Collaborate with Real Estate on lease exits, consolidation, and restoration obligations so security scope and cost are represented in exit planning
- Lead MAC, renovation, and refresh projects, including phased and occupied-space work — sequencing, temporary security measures, after-hours execution, and continuity of coverage
- Own end-to-end recurring and on-demand audits of existing sites (system functionality and coverage, standards conformance, documentation currency, asset inventory accuracy); track findings to closure and feed systemic findings into BOD updates
- Develop new-build-grade processes and fit-for-purpose standards for co-working, temporary, swing, and M&A space, including what can be enforced by lease terms, what must be overlaid with company-owned systems, and where risk is accepted and by whom
- Lead security integration of acquired sites: inherited system assessment, gap analysis against GSIS standards, remediation roadmap, credential migration, and transition to standard operations
Project Delivery | Design Engineering | Construction Administration
- Own project schedules and plans, budgets, coordination, meeting documentation, and project document organization
- Produce RFPs and evaluate vendor proposals (design consultants, security integrators, service and manufacturer partners); manage purchase and change orders
- Lead the integration bid process: Contract Document packaging, RFP release, RFI response, interviews, recommendation, and award
- Oversee design engineering consultants to ensure Contract Documents are complete, coordinated, and aligned with Real Estate and GSIS requirements; manage cross-discipline coordination (architectural, electrical / fire alarm, network, AV/VC) and the backcheck process
- Lead construction kickoff, integration schedule and dependencies, recurring coordination meetings, and General Contractor interface
- Manage submittal and RFI review, on-site acceptance testing and commissioning, and punch list to integration sign-off
- Collect closeout documentation and manage operational training strategy with Regional Security Managers and Facilities stakeholders
- Evolve standard documentation, templates, checklists, and automations; own vendor KPIs and QBRs; report program status to the Physical Security DEC Manager
Qualifications
Specialization Experience
- Delivering projects in occupied, phased, and landlord-controlled environments, not solely ground-up or full-floor new builds

- Building and executing audit programs and driving findings to closure; familiarity with lease exit and restoration obligations
