About the Role:

The Security Operations Manager is the key driver of campus security across CDC’s portfolio, ensuring all physical and electronic security systems operate to CDC standards.

About You: 

This opportunity would suit someone who has owned security operations across a large site or campus environment and enjoys building strong relationships with customers and stakeholders.
