• Threat Assessment: Conduct physical threat, vulnerability, and risk assessments of offices and fulfillment centers as the primary input for strategic planning. Capture gaps and mitigate through control development.

• Vendor & Stakeholder Management: Establish, lead and sustain relationships with security vendors and local law enforcement.

• Partner with local facility leadership to operationalize standards in a practical, site-appropriate way.  Work with People and Pharmacy Compliance Teams to ensure realistic security training is conducted for all employees.

• Stakeholder Collaboration: Build and sustain high-trust relationships with People, Legal, and Privacy teams, collaborating effectively on areas of overlapping responsibility and acting as a clear communicator who can translate physical security risks into actionable business insights while preserving employee trust.

Loss Prevention & Internal Controls

• Fraud & Theft Prevention: Establish processes and controls to deter crime, theft, fraud, sabotage, and unauthorized activity before impact occurs.  

• Product & Asset Integrity: Implement oversight mechanisms to safeguard high-value product against diversion, adulteration, or shrinkage.  

• Privacy as Safety: Design controls and workflows that prevent physical access risks from becoming privacy incidents, particularly in sensitive fulfillment and pharmacy environments.

What You'll Bring:

• 8+ Years in Physical and Product Security: Deep experience in asset protection, supply chain security, or internal investigations, specifically within logistics, fulfillment, or retail environments.
