Mission Security Coordinator — Travel Risk and EventProtection for NATO with security clearance

Relocation to the United States — Norfolk, Virginia. We provide the NATO-5 visa for you and your family. This post is a full employment contract with our delivery partner, with the benefits that go with it — not a contractor or B2B arrangement. Agreeing to be employed is the first condition of the role. A multinational defence organisation sends its people all over the world and hosts high-profile events at home and abroad. This post supports the force protection team: it is the dedicated attention that travelling staff and event attendees get on safety and security matters. What you would be doing Analysing the travel database to identify high-risk destinations and critical locations for staff on duty travel. Collecting and analysing security information from open sources, classified reporting and local advisories to assess risk ahead of travel. Giving travellers comprehensive security briefings — protocols, local risks and mitigation tailored to the individual mission. Developing security plans for high-risk events and missions in line with organisational security policy. Running regular risk assessments and security audits, and leading site surveys to find vulnerabilities at planned venues. Examining attendee lists for non-member participants and evaluating the counter-intelligence risk they carry. Preparing security briefs for senior approval, and being present at venues during events to give oversight at registration and check-in. Coordinating security for high-profile events and external missions with local authorities, law enforcement and partner agencies — logistics, site assessments and emergency response. Writing after-action reports and post-event analyses, and turning them into lessons and historical security records. Briefing internal stakeholders at every level on security requirements, risk management and operational priorities. What you would bring At least five years in security administration, risk management, criminology, public administration or industrial security, including responsibility for planning and executing security operations for high-profile events, international travel or multinational operations. At least three years planning and running security for major events involving very important persons, senior leadership or large international operations. A recognised risk management certification — for example project management professional or certified risk management professional — or another relevant security qualification. Counter-terrorism or crisis management certification is an asset. Demonstrated ability to collect, analyse and interpret security data from open sources and other reporting, and to turn it into briefings, risk assessments and incident reports. Demonstrated ability to work with stakeholders at every level, from senior leadership to local law enforcement. Advanced office tooling, security databases and collaborative platforms, plus confident open-source research. Fluent professional English. This is a long engagement that renews year on year, not a short project.
