We are Vicinity.

Role purpose

The Security Risk Manager’s primary responsibility is the oversight of security and emergency management at the shopping centre where they are based. This encompasses ongoing enhancement of incident and emergency readiness, management and performance of the centre’s security guard provider and embedding Vicinity’s national security standards locally. The Security Risk Manager acts as a key bridge between the centre management team, security guarding providers and the National Security & Emergency team. The role may also be responsible for delivering secondary level support to other Vicinity shopping centres where there is no Security Risk Manager. Such support would be primarily focused on security and emergency management training for the centre management teams and a level of oversight for contract management of the security guard provider. This role is an integral part of the centre management team playing a key leadership role in ensuring the centre remains a safe and inviting place for customers, retailers, personnel and other key stakeholders. The role will help drive best practice in the following areas:

• Leading local emergency and security incident response and preparedness;
• Strengthening security guard effectiveness through contractor performance management;
• Quality assurance for incident reporting and completion of corrective actions
• Conducting centre-based security and risk assessments.
• Fostering strong and constructive relationships with local law enforcement, emergency services and other key community
stakeholders;
• Providing centre management leadership presence during late trade, weekends and other peak trade periods as required.
