Job Description
You've led large teams, built systems from scratch, and made high-stakes calls in moments that mattered. You don't need oversight. You need a mission. This is it.
We're building a next-generation school system where kids complete a full day of academics in just two hours. The rest of their day is spent mastering real-world skills, not memorizing facts. Your job is to make sure they're safe. Every hour. On every campus. Without turning schools into prisons.
As the senior-most security leader in the organization, you'll design and lead physical security operations across more than 25 campuses nationwide. You'll evaluate existing systems, identify what's broken, and build what works -- crisis response protocols, vendor oversight, and audit frameworks included.
This isn't a traditional security job. You won't be running drills or filing reports. You'll be shaping how modern school safety is defined and scaled, balancing serious threat prevention with invisible, trauma-aware systems that preserve the student experience.
Whether you're a corporate security exec tired of red tape or an elite military officer ready to lead in the private sector, this role gives you the one thing most others won't: full ownership.
What You Will Be Doing - Leading the end-to-end design, implementation, and scaling of physical security across a growing national school network.
- Conducting site audits, identifying key risks, and prioritizing actionable fixes across infrastructure, staffing, and systems.
- Managing vendors and technology (e.g., cameras, access control, alarms) to ensure consistent, high-functioning performance.
- Serving as incident commander during security events — coordinating response, managing comms, and running postmortems.
- Creating and training staff on usable, trauma-aware protocols that work under stress and align with local emergency responders.
What You Won’t Be Doing - Enforcing heavy-handed security theater that disrupts learning — your systems will be smart, discreet, and effective.
- Managing status-quo vendors who underperform — you'll set a new bar and replace what doesn't work.
- Sitting in endless meetings without action — every deliverable you own drives operational execution.
Campus Security Director Key Responsibilities Design and own the systems that keep 25+ campuses — and thousands of students — safe from external threats, without compromising the learning experience.
Basic Requirements - At least 3 years of experience leading physical security across multiple sites in high-accountability environments
- Proven ability to design, implement, and enforce security protocols from scratch
- Demonstrated crisis leadership, with experience coordinating real-time incident response across internal and external stakeholders
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, including navigating high-stakes conversations with senior leaders, vendors, and front-line staff
- Comfortable operating with limited guidance and high expectations
- Based in the U.S. and willing to travel between campuses
- Authorized to work in the U.S. without visa sponsorship
Nice-to-have Requirements - Background in school safety or education-adjacent environments
- Bachelor's or Master's in criminal justice, public safety, emergency management, or related field
