You will be responsible for managing the on-site operational physical security of our Data Center and will have a thorough knowledge of access control systems and process, guard force management, reporting security metrics, security audits and incident reporting.

You will also understand and maintain compliance requirements with international standards such as (SOC1, SOC2 and ISO27001). You will also be responsible for the implementation of new processes and adherence to existing Amazon policy and procedure relating to security guarding, media security, CCTV monitoring and the protection of customer data.

You will build relationships with internal and external partners to maintain and enhance the security and safety of Amazon.
