About the role

The Security Project Manager is responsible for leading the implementation, testing, commissioning, and delivery of physical security systems supporting Microsoft's global infrastructure portfolio across the APAC region. This role manages high-profile and business-critical projects involving access control, video surveillance, intrusion detection, alarm systems, radio communications, and other physical security technologies across datacenters, leased colocation facilities, and other critical infrastructure environments.

Working across multiple concurrent projects, the Security Project Manager partners with architects, engineers, construction managers, security vendors, and client stakeholders to ensure projects are delivered in accordance with established standards, timelines, budgets, and operational requirements. The role requires strong project management skills, a solid technical understanding of physical security systems, and the ability to coordinate cross-functional teams while delivering consistent project outcomes.

What you'll do

In this role, you will lead the implementation, testing, commissioning, and deployment of physical security systems, ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently, and in accordance with established security standards. You will review security designs and project documentation, identify opportunities for improvement, and ensure consistency, compliance, cost efficiency, and quality throughout the project lifecycle.

You will oversee multiple security projects across the APAC region, supporting project planning, scheduling, budgeting, reporting, and performance tracking while collaborating closely with architects, engineers, construction teams, vendors, and client representatives. You will drive continuous improvement initiatives through process optimisation, automation, reporting, and data-driven decision-making to enhance the efficiency, scalability, and maturity of the physical security program.

You will act as a trusted advisor to internal and external stakeholders, support incident response activities, represent the client's physical security program, and contribute to strategic initiatives that improve operational performance. You will also maintain strict confidentiality, ensure stakeholder requirements are effectively managed, and support additional projects, reporting requirements, and leadership priorities as required.

To be successful in this role, you should possess a bachelor's degree in business, security, engineering, or a related field, along with at least five years of project or construction management experience, including at least three years managing the deployment of physical security systems or security engineering solutions. Equivalent combinations of education and relevant experience will also be considered.

You should have strong knowledge of physical security technologies, including access control, intrusion detection, alarm monitoring, and video surveillance systems, along with experience implementing and supporting physical security systems throughout construction project lifecycles. Experience working within datacenters or other critical infrastructure environments is highly desirable.

Strong proficiency in Microsoft Office applications is required, and professional certifications such as PSP, CPP, PMP, or CSPM are preferred. The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong project management, analytical, problem-solving, communication, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities, adapt to changing business requirements, and confidently present to customers, senior leaders, and executive audiences.

What you'll get

We offer more than just a job; we offer the opportunity to contribute to one of the world's most advanced and innovative physical security programs supporting critical infrastructure on a global scale.

You will work alongside experienced security professionals, engineers, and operational leaders while gaining exposure to large-scale security initiatives across multiple countries and business functions. This role provides opportunities for professional growth, cross-functional collaboration, and involvement in strategic projects that directly influence the future of physical security operations within a global technology environment.
