Do you want to work on complex and pressing challenges-the kind that bring together curious, ambitious, and determined leaders who strive to become better every day? If this sounds like you, you've come to the right place.
Who You'll Work With
You'll be part of our Firm Security team in one of our locations in the US mid-west or east coast. Our Firm Security team is responsible for ensuring that the Firm is resilient and that Firm members are safe & secure. Programs within Firm Security's portfolio include incident management; travel safety; physical security; event security and protection of our people in all their work contexts.
Your impact within our firm
You will have a range of responsibilities with a primary focus on leading our key people protection program, and a secondary focus on protecting and supporting firm events.
The key people protection component will entail management of protection programs focused on colleagues with heightened exposure to threats and hazards to ensure they are adequately protected in all contexts. It will include shaping and defining elements of the program as well as coordinating with relevant support teams and vendors.
It will also entail monitoring for threats and changes in the risk context and application of risk-based criteria to adjust security support levels, as well as management of online hardening and digital threat assessment elements of the program. It will require extensive collaboration with a range of internal teams as well as different parts of firm security, and supervision of the logistics coordinator assigned to the program.
The events support element of the role will entail close cooperation with event sponsors and leaders across the firm to ensure appropriate security and medical arrangements are in place for internal events as well as reviewing arrangements for external events where the firm is the host or where there is a significant number of attendees.
It will also entail acting as a thought partner for the Global Events team and host leadership, providing advice on where, when and how to host safe and secure events, preparation of contingency plans, provision of on-site support for our highest risk and most important events, and coordination of vendors.
As an integral part of the firm security team, you will also support the resolution and management of serious incidents.
Your qualifications and skills
