GSRA Risk Mitigation Specialist, APAC - Singapore

Job description

Security is at the core of Google's design and development process: it is built into the DNA of our products. The same is true of our offices. You're an expert who shares our seriousness about security and our commitment to confidentiality. You'll collaborate with our Facilities Management team to create innovative security strategies, investigate breaches and create risk assessment plans for the future. You believe that providing effective security doesn't come at the expense of customer service - you will be our bodyguard (and our long lost pal).

Additional job description

The Global Security Risk Assessment team (GSRA) is dedicated to safeguarding people, company facilities, critical assets/infrastructure, and intellectual property against evolving real-world threats. Rather than relying solely on routine audits, our team takes an intelligence-driven, proactive approach to physical security. We combine simulated offensive testing—evaluating how well a facility holds up against realistic and evolving tactics—with comprehensive on-site inspections of physical access, alarms, guard operations, architectural design and discreet programs.

In this role, you will lead and facilitate end-to-end physical security risk assessments across global and regional sites. You will collaborate closely with analysts to identify plausible threats, partner with physical testing teams to uncover site vulnerabilities, and work alongside local facility and security managers to evaluate controls. Beyond identifying gaps, you will translate complex technical findings into clear risk insights for leadership, facilitate stakeholder workshops to develop practical mitigation strategies, and help integrate lessons learned into overarching global security standards and building guidelines.
