Area Manager – Security Operations | Southern Illinois

Lead. Grow. Build Client Relationships. Make an Impact.

We are looking for a driven, experienced security professional to join our team as an Area Manager in Southern Illinois.

This is a hands-on leadership opportunity for someone who enjoys being in the field, building strong client relationships, leading security teams, and helping grow the business. You will have direct responsibility for the day-to-day operations of assigned security accounts while working closely with our sales team to identify and develop new business opportunities.

If you're a security leader who is ready to take ownership of a territory and make a difference, we want to hear from you.

What You'll Do

Lead Operations

Take ownership of day-to-day security operations throughout your assigned territory.
Lead and support security supervisors, officers, and other field personnel.
Ensure client expectations, contractual requirements, company standards, and applicable regulations are consistently met.
Conduct weekly visits with clients to evaluate service, address concerns, strengthen relationships, and identify opportunities for improvement.
Monitor staffing, attendance, performance, training, certifications, incidents, safety, and other operational requirements.
Ensure post orders, procedures, equipment, and staffing levels are appropriate for each client location.
Maintain strong communication with leadership regarding operational performance, staffing, client satisfaction, and emerging issues.
Oversee accurate timekeeping, contract documentation, rate changes, and revenue recognition.

Build Your Team

You will play a hands-on role in building a strong security team, including:

Recruiting qualified security officers.
Interviewing candidates and participating in selection decisions.
Coordinating hiring and onboarding.
Ensuring new officers receive required orientation, training, certifications, and site-specific instruction.
Supporting employee development, performance, retention, and accountability.
Proactively addressing staffing needs and vacancies.

Help Grow the Business

This isn't simply an operations position. We want someone who can see opportunities and help us grow.

Identify and provide qualified leads for new security business to the sales department.
Build relationships with prospective clients and local business leaders.
Recognize opportunities for expanded services and additional business with existing clients.
Participate in prospect meetings, site visits, presentations, proposals, and business-development activities.
Work with sales leadership to develop security solutions based on client needs.
Represent the company professionally throughout the Southern Illinois business community.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience managing contract security operations, multiple client accounts, or a security branch/territory.
Strong understanding of security staffing, scheduling, training, compliance, and client management.
Proven ability to lead and motivate security personnel.
Experience recruiting, interviewing, selecting, onboarding, and developing security officers.
Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
Ability to identify business-development opportunities and generate leads.
Strong organizational and administrative skills.
Computer proficiency, including Microsoft Word and Excel.
High school diploma or equivalent required.
Associate's or bachelor's degree and/or CPP certification preferred, or equivalent professional experience.
Valid driver's license and reliable transportation.
Ability to travel locally throughout Southern Illinois.

The Person We're Looking For

You may be a great fit if you are:

A Leader — You know how to set expectations, develop people, and hold teams accountable.
Client-Focused — You understand that great security service starts with understanding the client's business and needs.
Hands-On — You're comfortable getting out of the office, visiting sites, talking with officers, and solving problems in the field.
Growth-Minded — You naturally notice opportunities for additional services and new business and know how to turn those opportunities into qualified leads.
Organized — You can manage multiple accounts, priorities, people, and deadlines without losing sight of what matters.
Driven — You take ownership, follow through, and want to see measurable results.

Pay: $58,500.00 - $60,000.00 per year

Benefits:
