About The Position

CoreWeave is seeking a Staff Security Program Manager, International Security to join their Global Security & Resilience organization. This role will be responsible for building and driving the security program for CoreWeave's expanding international footprint, including offices and data center support locations. The position involves close collaboration with executive protection, the GSOC, External Affairs, and various business leaders to safeguard people and operations during global scaling. The Staff Security Program Manager will own the international security program, focusing on global travel security, international office and site protection, global security partnerships, and support for executive protection and event security. This individual contributor role requires both enterprise program ownership and hands-on operational execution. Key responsibilities include designing and implementing a travel security program with pre-travel risk assessments, traveler tracking, duty-of-care protocols, and emergency response. Additionally, the role involves establishing security standards for international offices and data center support locations, in partnership with Facilities, Data Center Operations, and local leadership. A significant external-facing component includes building and maintaining global partnerships with law enforcement, intelligence services, diplomatic security, industry peers, and local security providers. The role also requires tactical support for executive protection and event security, including advances, logistics, and on-the-ground coverage. Success hinges on strategic thinking, cultural fluency, sound judgment in ambiguous environments, program development from scratch, influencing stakeholders without direct authority, and delivering results with limited infrastructure. This role has no direct reports.
