JOB DESCRIPTION

The Regional Security Manager – India is the senior Global Security advisor for all client locations in India. The embedded position reports directly to the Head of Global Security as part of the Global Security function, not through the Asia regional organization, and is expected to operate with a high degree of independence. 

The position advises on and coordinates the application of the Global Security risk-driven strategy across India. It identifies and assesses vulnerabilities, reviews site compliance with corporate security policies and standards, and recommends and tracks mitigation plans.
