About the Role:
We're hiring a Staff Technical Project Manager to own delivery of Crusoe's Global Physical Security (GPS) portfolio. Your deliverable is the outcome, not the schedule: every site moved onto our new platforms, a working GSOC, and site findings closed.
You'll run several related workstreams at once across Construction, Facilities, IT, site operations, integrators and vendors. None of them report to you. You'll turn loose commitments into dated, owned, checkable deliverables, hold people to them, and force decisions when work stalls.
This is a program role, not a project role. You'll be the person who sees a slip coming weeks out and raises it with options, rather than reporting the miss after it lands.
Level: Staff.
Reports to: Lead, IT & Security Program Management Office.
Location: San Francisco, CA; Denver, CO; or Dallas, TX.
What You'll Be Working on:
System Lifecycle & Deployment: Manage end-to-end delivery of physical security assets—including access control, video surveillance (CCTV), intrusion detection, and Security Operations Centers (SOC)—from design and installation to testing and commissioning.
Standards & Governance: Own and adapt global physical security standards, master specifications (e.g., Division 28), and reference design templates across regions.
Cross-Functional Integration: Partner with IT, network engineering, legal, privacy, and facilities teams to integrate physical security systems with enterprise networks and digital tracking tools (CAD/BIM validation, dashboards).
Vendor & Contractor Management: Direct external security system integrators, author technical scopes of work, evaluate RFPs, manage bids, and oversee site quality assurance (QA/QC).
Risk & Change Management: Conduct site risk assessments, handle design-exception governance, and manage brownfield/retrofit upgrades with zero or minimal operational downtime.
You'll own six workstreams that together make up the GPS program.
Access control and video platform migration. Move every site off the legacy Meraki estate onto our selected cloud-based access control and video platforms, and onboard new sites as they come online. Waves run Q2 through Q4.
Wave planning and site sequencing
Per-site readiness criteria and tracking
Cutover runbooks and rollback plans
Acceptance testing and sign-off
GSOC buildout. Bring our Global Security Operations Center to go-live. Coordinate facility readiness, technology cutover, staff onboarding and the go-live checklist across Construction, IT and our staffing vendor.
Site remediation. Our security assessments produce a findings register, and most fixes belong to Facilities, Construction or site ops. You'll get each finding an owner and a date, drive it to close, and keep the register visible to leadership.
Integrator delivery. Manage multiple integrators across geographies.
Scope-of-work templates
Submittal review cycles
Acceptance testing and defect closeout
Integrator performance scorecards
Vendor and procurement lifecycle. Run RFPs, contract timelines and onboarding for staffing, platform and monitoring vendors. Several of these land this quarter and next.
Intake and triage. Stand up a front door for new GPS requests so each one is scoped, prioritized and sequenced against the roadmap instead of quietly absorbed.
How You'll Work:
Make commitments real. Turn "we'll get to it" into a named owner, a date and a clear definition of done.
Hold the line on dates. Hold peers, vendors and people senior to you to what they committed, directly and respectfully.
Lead without authority. Drive work across orgs you don't control, and escalate only when escalation is the right tool.
Call slippage early. Read leading indicators such as late submittals, long-lead equipment and unstaffed shifts. Raise risk while there's still time to act.
Force decisions. Know the difference between work that needs chasing and work that needs someone to decide. Get the decision framed, put it in front of the right person, and get it made.
Set the standard. Define how GPS runs programs, including planning templates, readiness criteria, status cadence and scorecards that other teams adopt.
Exercise discretion. You'll handle site layouts, vulnerabilities and incident details. You know what to share, with whom and when.
What You'll Bring to the Team:
10+ years in technical program or project management, including at least 5 years owning a multi-workstream program end to end
Delivery experience in the built environment, including construction schedules, integrators, submittals, commissioning and turnover
A track record of multi-site rollouts across a geographically distributed portfolio
Enough technical fluency in access control, video surveillance, networking and low-voltage systems to challenge an integrator's plan and spot when you're being talked in circles
Experience running vendor work end to end: RFPs, SOWs, contract milestones, acceptance and performance management
Comfort holding senior stakeholders and vendors accountable, and forcing decisions without leaning on escalation
Clear, concise written status reporting that leads with risk and the ask
Sound judgment and discretion with sensitive security information
Experience standing up a GSOC, SOC or other 24/7 operations center
Background in data center, critical facilities or mission-critical construction
Experience managing contract security staffing or remote monitoring vendors
PMP, PgMP, PSP or CPP certification
Familiarity with security frameworks and audits that touch physical controls, such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001
Bonus Points
Hands-on experience with cloud-managed access control and VMS platforms, or with migrating from one to another
