OpenAI's Corporate Security team is seeking a Corporate Security Operations Manager based in Mountain View to lead day-to-day physical security operations and develop practical security strategies across the company's offices and facilities.
In this hands-on role, you will own site security operations, lead vendor-managed armed and unarmed security teams across shifts, and partner with internal teams and external agencies including local law enforcement. You'll develop and implement physical-security measures, policies, training programs, and procedures to protect employees and visitors. Key responsibilities include monitoring security practices, identifying operational risks, coordinating with Workplace and Facilities teams, supporting on-campus events, and serving as the primary point of contact for VIP and government-guest coordination.
You will manage vendor relationships and contracts, establish clear performance expectations, and maintain regular operating cadence with security partners. You'll build and deliver practical, scenario-based training and coaching for security teams and supervisors, including experienced former law-enforcement professionals. This includes conducting regular training exercises on security procedures, incident response, and site-specific operating expectations.
The role requires strong relationship-building skills with internal clients, cross-functional stakeholders, and external partners. You'll regularly review and report on site-security performance, incidents, trends, and remediation to senior stakeholders. The position typically requires 4-5 days in the office each week.
Ideal candidates bring 15+ years of law-enforcement and/or corporate-security experience, including significant hands-on police-department operations and frontline leadership. Preferred qualifications include frontline police supervisory experience (Sergeant, Lieutenant, Captain) and/or Field Training Officer (FTO) experience. You should have practical familiarity with physical-security technologies including access control, surveillance, video-management, and intrusion-detection systems. Demonstrated ability to lead, coach, and train experienced security personnel, manage vendor performance, and adapt to dynamic, fast-paced environments is essential.
