• Support crisis management efforts by facilitating escalations and coordinating emergency communications across global and regional leadership levels.
• Deliver executive-level briefings. Provide clear, concise, and confident updates—both written and verbal—on emerging threats and evolving incidents.
• Engage in regular drills and exercises to maintain readiness and align with best-in-class procedures.
• Conduct after-action reviews (AARs) to capture key lessons and enhance future responses.
• Work with internal and external partners including Protective Services and Systems & Technology teams to strengthen a holistic security posture.
• Represent both Control Risks and our client with professionalism, discretion, and composure—especially in high-pressure situations.

The base salary range for this position is $70,000-75,000 per year. Exact compensation offered may vary depending on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
