Collaborate with General Contractors, Security Design, and Security Operations to mitigate security risks. Oversee the quality of construction phase security program implementation by Construction Managers, General Contractors, Lessors, and other project stakeholders, including the quality of incident investigations, corrective and preventive action (CAPA) plans, security plans, and security performance metrics. Define and enforce contractor security requirements and expectations, including personnel vetting, access credentialing, and on-site security conduct. Serve as CoreWeave's security representative during contractor engagements, regulatory inspections, and government interactions related to construction security matters. Lead cross-functional collaboration, incident response, and root cause analyses for all security events occurring during construction phases. Monitor, measure, and report on security program performance, while continually seeking to improve, optimize, and scale the construction security program.
