• Build and run a practical Travel Risk Management approach, including journey planning, accommodation standards, check-ins, and elevated risk protocols.

• Deliver security onboarding and awareness, including personal safety and incident actions for staff and key contractors.

• Integrate intelligence outputs into real operational decisions, coordinating closely with an intelligence support function.

• Align security with broader HSE governance through risk assessments, site audits, hazard identification, and corrective actions.

• Act as the principal security adviser to leadership, translating risk into clear recommendations and priorities.

• Senior leadership and regional management teams
• Operations and People/HR teams
• An intelligence support function providing threat and risk insight
• Third-party security and facilities vendors
• A Crisis24 oversight and reach-back team for escalation support and continuity

What You Will Bring  

• 7 to 10+ years’ experience in corporate security risk management, protective security, or related fields, with substantial in-country experience in Nigeria. East Africa experience is an advantage.

• Demonstrated experience supporting multi-site operations, including remote or rural environments.

• Strong incident leadership, including escalation, coordination, investigation, and structured reporting.

• Experience managing third-party security providers and driving standards and performance.

• Practical travel risk management capability.

• Confidence working across security and HSE interfaces (risk assessments, audits, corrective actions).

Optional Benefit Section.

• Primarily office-based in Nigeria or Tanzania, with travel across the operating footprint as required. Remote working may be possible depending on circumstances and operational requirements.
