Assistant National Account Portfolio Manager - Security

Assistant National Account Portfolio Manager


The Assistant Client Portfolio Manager is not a traditional operations management position.
This role is designed to develop the future strategic leader of one of GardaWorld Security Services’ largest and most complex client portfolios. Working directly alongside the National Account Portfolio Director, this individual will become the trusted second-in-command responsible for helping manage a multi-faceted enterprise account while learning every aspect of strategic account leadership.
The successful candidate will partner closely with internal and client stakeholders, support financial oversight, coordinate large-scale projects, analyze business performance, and help drive strategic initiatives across a complex portfolio consisting of physical security operations, special events, retail security, alarm response, and other integrated security programs.
This position is intentionally designed as a succession role. The individual selected will receive extensive mentorship while progressively assuming greater ownership of client relationships, strategic initiatives, and business decisions.
While previous security industry experience is beneficial, it is not required. We are seeking a strong business leader who has successfully managed complex client relationships, understands financial performance, and thrives operating in high-visibility enterprise environments.
