Security Operations Manager
We are seeking an experienced Security Operations Manager to lead the day-to-day delivery of effective, responsive, and risk-based security operations. The successful candidate will oversee the protection of people, property, information, and business-critical activities across a varied operational environment. This role will involve setting clear standards, maintaining a strong security culture, and ensuring that procedures remain aligned with organisational requirements, legal obligations, and recognised industry practice.
Key responsibilities include managing security personnel, control room activities, access control, incident response, investigations, patrols, and emergency procedures. You will coordinate the development and review of security policies, risk assessments, business continuity arrangements, and crisis response plans. The role will also involve monitoring operational performance, reviewing incidents and trends, preparing management reports, and identifying opportunities to improve effectiveness and resilience. You will work closely with internal stakeholders, contractors, emergency services, and relevant external partners, ensuring that security matters are communicated clearly and managed professionally. Where required, you will support audits, compliance reviews, training programmes, and the implementation of new systems or technology.
Applicants should have substantial experience in security management or a related operational leadership role, with a strong understanding of physical security, incident management, investigations, risk mitigation, and emergency planning. Experience managing teams, suppliers, budgets, and performance standards is essential. Excellent communication, decision-making, organisational, and problem-solving skills are required, together with the confidence to remain calm and effective in high-pressure situations. A relevant professional qualification or recognised security management certification would be advantageous. The successful candidate will demonstrate integrity, sound judgement, attention to detail, and a proactive approach to continuous improvement. Flexibility is important, as the role may require occasional out-of-hours support, attendance at incidents, or participation in an on-call rota.
