About The Position

As a Global Security Program Manager on Notion’s Global Safety & Security team, you’ll help protect our people, workplaces, and operations across a distributed global portfolio. This role exists to bring greater consistency to physical security programs as Notion scales—strengthening technology, vendor operations, incident readiness, and local execution without losing the welcoming experience we want employees and guests to feel. You’ll work across Workplace, People, IT, Legal, business leaders, vendors, and building partners, balancing hands-on operations with repeatable program design. This is a remote role based in the United States, with travel to Notion offices, events, and other locations expected—up to 50% based on operational needs.

Requirements

Demonstrated ability to own physical security or safety programs across multiple sites or regions, including security technology, access control, incident response, or vendor operations.
Effective project management skills, with the ability to move multiple international projects from ambiguity to clear plans, decisions, and delivery.
Clear, thoughtful communication with internal partners, vendors, building management, and local stakeholders—especially when translating security requirements into practical action.
A service-oriented approach and eagerness to help create secure, welcoming workplace experiences; you bring curiosity, ownership, and sound judgment to how you work with others.
Novice AI proficiency and a willingness to use AI as a practical collaborator for communication, accuracy checks, documentation, and reducing repetitive work.

Responsibilities

Review regional differences in access control or visitor management and turn them into clear priorities for the global parity project.
Work with a vendor or building manager to resolve a security gap, balancing local context with global standards.
Draft an incident update, using AI to improve clarity, then validate the details and judgment behind the message.
Coordinate international project work while responding thoughtfully to an urgent operational issue.
Kick off a global physical security parity project that creates shared visibility into regional practices, gaps, and priorities.
Use AI to accelerate clear, effective communications, reduce busywork, and keep detail-heavy work accurate and reviewable.
Take ownership of Notion’s physical security technology program, improving how systems, data, and operating practices support safe and resilient workplaces.
Demonstrate program ownership in one major physical security or safety pillar, such as business continuity and disaster recovery, event security, travel risk management, monitoring operations, crisis management, guard force operations, or governance.
Deliver multiple international projects with clear plans, sound judgment, and effective coordination across regions, vendors, and cross-functional partners.
