Security Project Manager - Coworking, M&A, MAC, Reno

Position Summary

We are seeking a highly experienced Physical Security Project Manager (SPM) who has passion to lead the delivery of physical security systems for new office and facility builds, and who will also own the specialty site program across the existing portfolio. This role will serve as primary point of coordination across internal teams, vendors, and construction partners to ensure systems are implemented on time, on budget, and aligned with GSIS standards. The SPM will manage the complete project lifecycle from project inception through operational handover, and will own security integration for temporary / co-working and flex spaces and M&A-acquired sites, the decommissioning program for site exits, and the MAC (moves / adds / changes), renovation, refresh and audit program for operating sites, with right-sized standards and playbooks distinct from permanent new builds. The ideal candidate is familiar with electronic security systems design, lease and portfolio lifecycle decisions, execution in live operating environments, and thrives in a fast-paced, multi-stakeholder environment.
