About the Role The Staff Physical Security Analyst will protect AlphaSense’s people, facilities, and sensitive assets through a modern, data-driven approach to physical security. You'll own the full lifecycle of physical security operations—access control, video surveillance, risk assessments, and vendor management—while partnering with the Insider Protection team to ensure physical security data informs broader risk detection efforts. This role requires someone who can run a tight physical security program and collaborate effectively on converged security matters when they arise. You'll work cross-functionally to maintain a safe, resilient workplace across all global locations. About the Team This role sits within the Insider Protection team but serves as AlphaSense’s physical security subject matter expert. You'll own physical security operations globally while collaborating with insider threat analysts on matters where physical and logical access intersect. Day-to-day, you'll partner with IT, Facilities, HR, Legal, and regional operations to deliver a mature, well-run physical security program. What You’ll Do Oversee physical security systems, including access control, video surveillance, and alarm monitoring - ensuring reliability, data integrity, and appropriate coverage across all locations. Conduct site security risk assessments and recommend mitigation measures, including for sensitive spaces such as data centers, executive offices, and research areas. Manage and optimize global access provisioning processes in coordination with IT and Facilities, ensuring alignment with logical access governance (joiners/movers/leavers, role-based access, high-risk terminations). Lead physical security investigations—including badge anomalies, tailgating, unauthorized access, and workplace concerns—escalating to or partnering with the Insider Threat team when appropriate. Collaborate with building management, HR, Legal, IT and regional operations to ensure consistent security standards. Lead executive and personnel protection efforts, including travel security assessments, threat monitoring, and event security for high-profile gatherings. Own vendor and integrator relationships for physical security services and technologies—managing contracts, SLAs, and technical performance. Develop and maintain physical security policies, procedures, and incident reporting frameworks. Support workplace violence prevention programs, including threat assessment processes and coordination with HR on sensitive personnel matters. Provide physical security data and investigative support (video retrieval, badge history, visitor logs) to insider threat investigations as needed. Build reporting and dashboards on physical security metrics (access exceptions, incident trends, badge utilization) to inform risk decisions and executive reporting. Coordinate with Security Engineering and IT to ensure physical security systems integrate with identity management and enterprise tooling. What We Are Looking For: 5+ years of experience in physical security, corporate security, or related fields, in a technology, financial services, or similarly fast-paced environment. Strong expertise in security technologies (e.g., Lenel, Genetec, Verkada, or similar access control and VMS platforms)—you can administer, troubleshoot, and optimize these systems, not just oversee them. Experience with emergency response planning, crisis management, and security incident response. Strong analytical, investigative, and documentation skills. Ability to manage multiple global sites and remote collaboration effectively. Experience with executive protection, travel security, or personnel security programs. Understanding of how physical access intersects with logical/IT access governance; experience supporting access reviews or JML processes. Comfortable with technology: you can navigate integrations, reporting tools, and dashboards—not just vendor GUIs. Ability to partner effectively with investigative or insider threat teams on converged security matters. Strong interpersonal skills and sound judgment for handling sensitive personnel matters (workplace violence, threat assessment, executive concerns). Experience managing vendor relationships, contracts, and integrator performance. Nice to Have: Certifications such as PSP, CPP, or equivalent. Experience with hybrid workplace and corporate risk management programs. Experience with workplace violence threat assessment (WAVR-21, ATAP membership, or similar frameworks). Background in GSOC operations or third-party guard force management. Familiarity with insider threat concepts and how physical security data supports detection and investigations. Experience at a high-growth technology company or in an environment with sensitive research, data centers, or executive visibility. Why Join Us? Own and build a global physical security program at a company where protecting cutting-edge AI and market intelligence actually matters. Work within a modern security organization that values convergence between physical and cyber/insider threat functions—your work will inform broader risk decisions. High autonomy and ownership: you'll run physical security, not just support it. Competitive compensation, benefits, and the opportunity to shape security at a high-growth company.
