Swarmaero Senior Facility Security Officer at Swarm Aero leads and scales the industrial security program including classified safeguarding and SCIF construction. This role partners with legal, IT, and talent acquisition on compliance and security.
Responsibilities
This role is not a fit for someone who expects to arrive with the guardrails of an established program or a large team. It is a fit for someone who has built programs from scratch, thrives in ambiguity, and can move between updating a Standard Practices and Procedures (SPP) in the morning and walking a contractor through SCIF construction specs in the afternoon. Our program is accelerating – you are capable of executing and delivering on this expansion with thoroughness and rigor.
