About the Role
We’re hiring a Physical Security Policy & Contracts Manager to own Nscale’s global physical security policy framework and ensure contractual, audit, and compliance requirements translate into practical, enforceable standards across our facilities and colo sites.
This role sits at the intersection of physical security, compliance, and legal governance , connecting closely with site teams, Legal, and audit stakeholders. You’ll define standards across areas such as access control, surveillance, visitor management, perimeter security, incident response, and environmental controls, while also reviewing contractual obligations and supporting certification activity tied to physical security.
Your work will help create a consistent, audit-ready security posture across Nscale’s operating regions. By building policies that hold up under audit, maintaining a clear view of contractual obligations, and serving as a subject matter expert during customer and third-party audits, you’ll play a critical role in protecting the business as it scales.
