About our team

We are a dynamic, dedicated team that provides management and support for a global guarding services account that

and Incident Management, Environmental Health and Safety, and Human Resources. As part of this team, you’ll be part of

our leadership team and work alongside a group of professionals that are committed to excellence and innovation.

About the role

The Director of Shared Services (DOSS) oversees a global team supporting the worldwide security operations team that

protects the critical datacenter infrastructure for a complex, multi-hundred-million-dollar client account. This leader

manages multiple service pillars, including Project Management, Business Reporting, Technical Communications, Logistics,

Training and Compliance, to enable the work of our security operations team. This role provides executive-level direction,

aligns Securitas and client objectives, and drives program performance, service delivery, and global consistency across all

regions. This role requires a forward-thinking professional with a strong command of security operations, a passion for

operational excellence, and the ability to lead and inspire high-performing teams in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.

What you’ll do

In this role, you’ll strategically align and operationalize shared services initiatives to support global datacenter security

operations. You’ll advise senior leaders, oversee program goals and deliverables, and ensure SLAs and KPIs are

consistently met. Responsibilities include managing and developing staff performance, improving processes, building

strong client and internal relationships, and fostering cross-functional collaboration across time zones. You’ll also lead

program-wide initiatives that promote efficiency and innovation, create executive-level reports and presentations, and

ensure consistent communication across all teams. As the key contact for Shared Services-related matters, you’ll help

shape the strategic direction of the organization while maintaining a high standard of service delivery.

What you need to apply

We are looking for a seasoned professional that has a bachelor’s degree in business, management, or a related field, with

10+ years of progressive leadership experience in multi-disciplinary shared service functions, including at least 3–5 years

at the director level. Global, multi-region operations experience is required and a background in datacenters is preferred.

This position requires strong leadership, communication, and analytical skills, as well as the ability to influence without

direct authority and build relationships at all organizational levels.

The ideal candidate is a strategic thinker, effective communicator, and results-oriented leader capable of driving

performance in a fast-paced, global environment with demonstrated success in aligning shared services strategy with

operational and business goals.

This position involves domestic and international travel (approximately 30% of the time), so a passion for travel (and a

valid passport) is essential. This role will also require flexibility to work nights and weekends (when needed) to support

global staffing issues, high priority events, and off-hours incidents.

All applicants to this role must have reliable means of communication, reliable means of transportation (public or private)

to get to/from work, the legal right to work in the country where the position is located, and the ability to speak, read and

write in English proficiently.
