We are seeking an experienced Resort Director of Safety & Security to lead all safety, security, and emergency response operations at the property. This is a highly visible, hands-on leadership role for someone who understands that effective resort security is about more than enforcement—it’s about creating a safe environment while delivering exceptional hospitality.
Reporting directly to the General Manager, you’ll lead the resort’s security team, strengthen safety practices, oversee emergency preparedness, and serve as a trusted partner to resort and corporate leadership.
What You'll Do:
- Lead day-to-day safety and security operations, including patrols, access control, surveillance, incident response, and emergency procedures.
- Build and lead a professional, visible, and guest-focused security team.
- Recruit, train, coach, and develop security personnel with a focus on service, de-escalation, emergency response, and operational excellence.
- Oversee CCTV, access control, alarms, key control, and other security systems and programs.
- Lead the response to guest and associate incidents, emergencies, disturbances, injuries, theft, property damage, and other safety concerns.
- Ensure incidents are thoroughly investigated, documented, reported, and escalated appropriately.
- Develop and maintain security post orders, patrol standards, emergency procedures, and escalation protocols.
- Conduct emergency drills, training exercises, safety inspections, and competency assessments.
- Oversee resort vehicle and golf cart safety programs, including associate training, inspections, and compliance.
- Monitor traffic flow, parking, access points, and other areas impacting resort safety and security.
- Track incident trends, response times, security effectiveness, and other key performance indicators to identify opportunities for improvement.
- Serve as a key member of the resort’s emergency response team and primary Safety & Security liaison to the General Manager during crisis situations.
- Partner with Corporate Safety & Security, Risk Management, Legal, law enforcement, and emergency responders as needed.
- Champion a service-first, safety-always culture throughout the resort.
What We’re Looking For:
- Minimum of 5 years of progressively responsible Safety & Security experience, preferably within hospitality, resorts, hotels, or another guest-facing environment.
- Previous experience as a Security Director, Security Manager, or in a comparable leadership position strongly preferred.
- Demonstrated experience leading security teams, emergency response, incident investigations, and safety programs.
- Strong knowledge of hospitality security operations, emergency preparedness, and applicable safety and regulatory requirements.
- Experience with CCTV, access control, alarm systems, incident reporting platforms, and related security technologies.
- Proven ability to balance security enforcement and risk management with a positive, hospitality-focused guest experience.
- Strong leadership, communication, decision-making, conflict-resolution, and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to remain calm, decisive, and professional during emergencies and high-pressure situations.
- A collaborative, hands-on leadership style with a commitment to safety, accountability, and exceptional service.
- Valid government-issued security registration or license as required by applicable state or local regulations.
