Regional Security Manager (APAC) - Temporary Contract

About the role

Concentric, a risk consultancy providing security and intelligence services to private clients and corporations, is hiring a Temporary Regional Security Manager to join its team embedded with a client in Singapore. The role leads physical security across Asia-Pacific as the client expands its offices, facilities, employees and travel footprint in higher-risk environments. It is a full-time, 6-month fixed-term position with a hybrid schedule from the client's headquarters in Singapore, and potential for extension or conversion to a permanent position.

Key responsibilities

• Define and prioritize the APAC physical-security operating plan, risk register, remediation roadmap and escalation model, and own sequencing and cross-functional dependencies.
• Translate global standards into consistent, locally executable controls across offices, shared workplaces, data centers and other critical facilities.
• Serve as the regional escalation point and incident commander for major security, safety and business-disruption events, working with GSOC, workplace, vendors, emergency services and business leaders.
• Drive security requirements for new offices, relocations, retrofits, technology deployments and material-control exceptions, including residual-risk recommendations and closure criteria.
• Strengthen Singapore and Dublin GSOC handoffs, failover readiness, incident documentation, exercises and continuous improvement.
• Govern contracted security providers through SLAs, KPIs, QBRs, staffing resilience, corrective actions, procurement support and risk-based budget decisions.
• Partner with Protective Intelligence, Security Systems and Deployments, Data Center Security Operations, Technology, Legal, Privacy, HR, Communications, Business Resilience, Finance, Procurement and regional leaders.
• Define operating metrics and drive root-cause improvements in readiness, control effectiveness, response quality, auditability, vendor performance and recurring issues.
• Use automation and AI responsibly, with privacy, security, regulatory, model-risk, verification and human-in-the-loop safeguards.

Required profile

• 7+ years of experience in physical security, risk, resilience or related operations within a multinational, including substantial APAC regional experience.
• Experience leading multi-country physical-security operations across offices, critical facilities, vendors or varied environments.
• Experience as an incident leader or Incident Commander during complex, cross-functional or high-consequence events.
• Experience managing security providers through SLAs, KPIs, QBRs, staffing resilience, performance improvement and contract renewals.
• Experience delivering security requirements for new offices, relocations, retrofits, critical facilities or security-system deployments.
• Ability to adapt global standards to local legal, building, threat, cultural and emergency-response conditions without weakening control objectives.
• Excellent executive communication, stakeholder influence, prioritization and decision-making, including acting with incomplete information.
• Must be able to work legally in Singapore without visa sponsorship; international travel is required.

• Access control, CCTV, alarms, visitor management and guard-force operations
• Incident response, critical facilities and emergency planning
• Managing security providers via SLAs, KPIs and QBRs
