The Opportunity
This position works out of our Madison, Wisconsin location within Corporate Security, supporting Abbott's Diagnostics operations. Our integrated Security Operations team delivers field security and Security Operations Center (SOC) services to protect employees, visitors, facilities, and company assets.

As the Security Supervisor, Security Operations, you'll lead a combined team of Corporate Security Partners (SPs) and Security & Emergency Management (SEM) Analysts. Reporting to the Senior Manager, Security Operations, you will oversee one of three assigned shifts (days, evenings, or nights). The normal schedule is Monday through Friday on the assigned shift, with rotating weekend on-call duty and flexibility for staffing shortages, special events, incident response, and elevated threat conditions.

What You’ll Work On

·      Lead daily field security and SOC activities for the assigned shift, including patrol and post assignments, access control, alarm and CCTV monitoring, dispatch, situational awareness, calls for service, shift handoffs, and continuity of 24/7 operations.

·      Manage workforce administration: prepare and adjust schedules; assign coverage; approve PTO and other time-off requests consistent with policy; monitor attendance; manage timekeeping, including reviewing and approving timecards; and coordinate staffing for absences, overtime, and operational surges.

·      Provide supervisory leadership during security, medical, fire and life safety, severe weather, and other critical incidents.
