Senior Manager, Corporate Security

About the Role

The Senior Manager, Corporate Security will help build and lead CoreWeave’s corporate security program, with responsibility for facility protection, workplace safety, travel security, executive protection, event security, and risk-informed business enablement.

This role combines enterprise program ownership with hands-on operational leadership. You’ll establish scalable security standards and governance across CoreWeave’s corporate office and facility portfolio while leading a blended organization of direct reports, program leads, contractors, vendors, and strategic security partners.

You’ll also serve as a senior planner and operator for sensitive executive protection assignments and high-profile events. This may include conducting advances, coordinating logistics, assessing routes and venues, and supporting protective operations on the ground when circumstances require.

Day to day, you’ll oversee security programs, manage people and partners, plan complex protective operations, and translate threat intelligence into practical safeguards. You’ll own the corporate security budget, vendor portfolio, technology roadmap, staffing strategy, and service-level expectations. You’ll also drive continuous improvement across policies, training, response capabilities, and program performance.

Success in this role requires strategic leadership, sound operational judgment, and a willingness to remain close to execution. You must be comfortable making independent decisions and delivering results through a blended workforce in dynamic, resource-constrained environments.

What You’ll Do

• Set and maintain global security standards, governance, and performance measures across CoreWeave’s corporate office and facility portfolio, balancing consistent enterprise controls with local risk and operating requirements.
• Lead and develop a blended organization of direct reports, program leads, contractors, vendors, and strategic security partners responsible for workplace security, executive protection, event security, and travel risk.
• Establish clear roles, operating standards, service expectations, and performance accountability across the corporate security portfolio.
• Own the corporate security operating budget, strategic vendor portfolio, security technology roadmap, workforce strategy, and service-level expectations.
• Lead organizational design, hiring, contractor utilization, vendor selection, capacity planning, and succession planning to ensure resources remain aligned with business growth and evolving risk.
• Establish metrics to evaluate program effectiveness, operational readiness, service quality, risk reduction, and return on investment.
• Design, implement, and continuously improve security measures for corporate offices, facilities, events, executive travel, and other operational environments.
• Plan and lead executive protection operations, including protective advances, route and venue assessments, threat and vulnerability assessments, logistics coordination, and on-site protective coverage.
• Plan and lead security operations for high-profile and high-visibility events, including risk assessments, venue coordination, staffing plans, command structures, and on-site execution.
• Translate threat intelligence and protective intelligence into timely, practical security measures for executives, employees, facilities, events, and business operations.
• Coordinate with the GSOC and internal response teams to improve monitoring, escalation, communications, and incident-management processes.
• Build effective partnerships with federal, state, local, and international law-enforcement, intelligence, and corporate security counterparts.
• Advise senior leaders and cross-functional partners on security risks, operational tradeoffs, and risk-informed business decisions.
• Personally support especially sensitive, complex, or high-profile protective and event security assignments when needed.
