About the team
The Corporate Security Systems and Infrastructure (CSI) team safeguards Stripe’s people, offices, and operations by designing, delivering, and maintaining secure infrastructure across our global workplace portfolio. We take an intelligence-led, risk-based approach and partner closely with Workplace, IT, Security Operations, Legal, and external vendors to build reliable, scalable physical security systems and transition them to our Global Security Operations Center (GSOC) for ongoing monitoring and support.
What you’ll do
As a Corporate Security Infrastructure Project Manager, you will lead the security infrastructure workstream for new offices, expansions, relocations, and major workplace upgrades, with an initial focus on Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) and support for global projects as needed. You will manage projects from early site assessment and design through installation, testing, commissioning, and operational handover.
You will be accountable for scope, schedule, budget, risk, quality, and stakeholder alignment across a portfolio of concurrent projects. In addition to delivering individual projects, you will strengthen the CSI program by improving standards, documentation, vendor performance, reporting, and repeatable project management processes. You will work through ambiguity, surface decisions early, and communicate clearly with technical teams, business partners, vendors, and senior leaders.
Responsibilities
- Lead end-to-end delivery of security infrastructure for office construction and expansion projects, from site assessment and requirements definition through design, procurement, installation, testing, commissioning, and closeout.
- Lead requests for proposals (RFPs) for security installations, including defining scope and requirements, coordinating bidders, reviewing submissions, evaluating proposals with relevant stakeholders, and supporting vendor selection recommendations.
- Own project scope, schedule, budget, risks, dependencies, decisions, and change control; provide clear, outcome-focused reporting to stakeholders and leadership.
- Coordinate security designs and technical requirements with Workplace, IT, Security Operations, Legal, architects, general contractors, landlords, and other project partners.
- Review design drawings, specifications, bills of materials, and implementation plans to ensure alignment with CSI standards and local requirements.
- Manage security integrators, consultants, and contractors, including statements of work, delivery milestones, quality expectations, service levels, and performance reviews.
- Oversee system installation, acceptance testing, commissioning, punch-list resolution, documentation, and first-day-of-business readiness.
- Ensure completed projects are smoothly handed over to the GSOC and support teams, with accurate system records, operating procedures, training, and ownership established.
- Maintain and improve global construction standards, technical specifications, project templates, runbooks, and closeout documentation.
- Develop and track project health metrics, vendor KPIs, budget forecasts, and lessons learned; use insights to improve delivery quality, predictability, and cost efficiency.
- Support new market and site evaluations by identifying security risks, infrastructure constraints, integration needs, and mitigation options.
- Support the security repair and maintenance program, with a focus on the EMEA region, collaborating with regional teams to triage, track, and resolve security system and hardware issues.
- Partner with CSI engineers and program leadership to prioritize work, resolve cross-project dependencies, and scale consistent processes across the portfolio.
- Travel up to 25%, including international travel, to support site assessments, project milestones, commissioning, and handover.
