Job Summary

We believe great work happens when flexibility and connection come together, and when we respect the whole person, not just the professional. That is why we operate under one flexible work model with a hybrid schedule of three in-office days per week, aligned to one of our three Greater Philadelphia area offices. Your Talent Acquisition partner will work closely with you to confirm the office location that best aligns with the role and your home location, ensuring you have the right balance of connection, collaboration, and flexibility to thrive.

The Director of Security leads Day & Zimmermann's internal security program and serves as the senior internal security adviser to executive leadership. The position is based in the greater Philadelphia area; the Director leads assigned security personnel, oversees vulnerability assessments, and serves as the senior escalation point for significant security concerns. The job is focused exclusively on protecting Day & Zimmermann's people, property, information, and operations. The Director partners with Information Security and Cyber Security but does not manage those functions or client-delivered security programs. The Director reports to the Chief Legal Officer and has direct supervisory responsibility for the Senior Facility Security Officer (FSO), Assistant FSO, and a Cyberhaven Analyst. Approximately five additional FSOs perform facility-security duties as needed while reporting administratively to other departments.
