Our Client
This is a confidential recruitment. Our client is a large-scale agriculture company based in the greater Kampala area.
The Role
This is not a traditional security manager role. It is a high-impact system ownership role for a leader who can rebuild control, enforce standards through supervisors and team leaders, and reduce operational loss across a complex, high-risk environment.
You will own the security and loss-control system. Not by replacing operational teams or running field tasks yourself, but by ensuring SOPs are understood, applied, verified, and continuously improved.
You will establish, enforce, and sustain a structured security and loss-control system across operations, processing, loading, and distribution. Additionally, you will ensure that operational risks are controlled through SOPs, accountable teams, effective monitoring, and verified closure of issues.
Location: Greater Kampala, Uganda
Sector: Agriculture
Key Responsibilities
- Own the design, rollout, and enforcement of SOPs, ensuring compliance is verified and escalated when controls are bypassed
- Lead control room effectiveness by setting staffing logic, monitoring standards, tracking discipline, and escalation of non-response
- Drive CCTV performance through blind-spot mapping, improved camera coverage, and anti-evasion controls in critical zones
- Enforce loading and distribution controls, including supervised truck sealing, seal logs, and chain-of-custody procedures
- Ensure supervisors and team leaders execute SOPs and close assigned issues through their teams
- Escalate threats, intimidation, and unsafe conditions that prevent staff from enforcing rules
- Analyse loss patterns across location, timing, people, blind spots, and control failures to reduce repeat incidents
Candidate profile
- You bring 10+ years of experience in security operations, loss control, or complex site security within high-risk environments
- You have a background in the military, police, or as a senior private security operator
- You demonstrate strong capability in SOP enforcement, operational discipline, loss prevention, investigations, and control room management
- You are structured, credible, and calm under pressure, with the ability to operate effectively in remote or high-risk environments
- You lead in a firm and structured way, working through supervisors and team leaders rather than bypassing them
