This is a high-impact leadership role that will partner closely with Workplace, Facilities, Real Estate, IT, Cybersecurity, Legal, HR, Executive Leadership, Corporate Communications, Travel, EHS, and regional business leaders.

You will be the global enterprise owner for physical security strategy, governance, standards, incident response, executive advisory, vendor performance, security technology, and operational excellence. You will also have the opportunity to build stronger connectivity between physical security, cyber response, business continuity, travel risk, and crisis management through the development of a modern, intelligence-led security operating model.

This role is ideal for a hands-on, enterprise-minded leader who can move comfortably from executive briefings to site-level risk reviews, from policy creation to incident response, and from strategic planning to real-time operational execution.

As Head of Global Physical Security, you will define and lead Marvell's global strategy for protecting employees, visitors, customers, vendors, facilities, intellectual property, critical business operations, and executive leadership.

You will build a risk-based, globally consistent physical security program that supports Marvell's business strategy and reflects the complexity of a global semiconductor company operating across corporate offices, engineering sites, labs, customer-facing locations, and high-value technology environments.

Key responsibilities include:

Global Strategy, Governance, and Program Leadership

• Develop and communicate Marvell's global physical security strategy, ensuring alignment with business priorities, enterprise risk, workplace strategy, and executive expectations.
• Establish a corporate-wide Strategic Physical Security Program with clear governance, operating rhythms, service levels, KPIs, escalation paths, and executive reporting.
• Create, update, and enforce global physical security policies, standards, playbooks, procedures, and controls aligned with industry best practices, applicable laws, and regional requirements.
• Build a scalable global operating model that balances enterprise consistency with local execution across regions and sites.
• Serve as Marvell's senior subject matter expert on physical security risk, workplace safety, threat response, and security posture.

Protection of People, Workplaces, and Operations

• Protect Marvell employees, contractors, visitors, customers, vendors, executives, and facilities through proactive risk identification, prevention, response, and continuous improvement.
• Lead the development of workplace security programs covering access control, visitor management, CCTV / video surveillance, intrusion detection, alarms, badge governance, lobby security, mail and package screening, parking, perimeter protection, and sensitive-area controls.

• Drive standardization, simplification, and continuous improvement across Marvell's global physical security operations.

Vendor, Contractor, Budget, and Team Leadership

• Lead, train, and develop a global security team composed of employees, contractors, vendors, and regional partners.
• Oversee security vendor strategy, selection, contracting, performance management, service quality, compliance, cost control, and continuous improvement.
• Manage a significant global security budget, ensuring investments are prioritized based on risk, business impact, operational effectiveness, and long-term scalability.
• Build a high-accountability culture across internal and external security resources.
• Create training, awareness, and education programs that help employees understand security protocols, emergency procedures, travel safety expectations, and incident reporting channels.

Executive Advisory, Investigations, and External Partnerships

• Advise senior executives on physical security risk, protective measures, emerging threats, incident response, and strategic investments.
• Prepare clear, concise, executive-ready briefings on global security posture, major incidents, program maturity, and risk mitigation plans.
