Financial & Business Management 

• Take full P&L ownership for the account, monitoring financial and operational indicators to improve performance. 
• Support strategic budget planning for guard services and security system deployments. 
• Lead or support global RFI/RFP responses, including pricing strategy and coordination across regions.

• Introduce new ideas, tools, and approaches to improve service quality, efficiency, and client value. 

What We’re Looking For 

• Bachelor’s degree preferred. 
• At least 5 years of progressively responsible management experience in business management, security management, or a closely related field. 
• Proven experience managing key accounts or complex programs, ideally in a multi-site or global environment.
