The role

The Opportunity:

St Enoch is one of Glasgow's major city-centre retail destinations, spanning approximately 1 million sq ft and welcoming thousands of customers, tenants and visitors every day.

As the Centre continues to evolve, Praxis has made the decision to create a dedicated Head of Security position, giving security its own senior leadership and strategic focus.

This is a genuine opportunity to take ownership of the entire security function, lead an established team and shape how security operates across one of Glasgow's busiest retail destinations.

We're looking for someone resilient, proactive and comfortable operating in challenging environments, someone who can lead from the front, make sound decisions under pressure and bring people with them.

What you'll do

You'll have overall responsibility for security across the Centre, including:

  • Leading and developing 3-4 Security Managers and the wider security team
  • Setting and delivering the Centre's security strategy
  • Managing risk, crime prevention, incidents and emergency preparedness
  • Leading counter-terrorism preparedness and Martyn's Law compliance
  • Building strong relationships with Police Scotland, Glasgow City Council, emergency services and key stakeholders
  • Managing contractors, security systems, budgets and performance
  • Working closely with tenants and Centre Management
  • Using operational insight and data to continuously improve standards
  • Maintaining a visible and professional presence across the Centre

Professionalism | We consistently seek to exceed expectations. Our people can express themselves fully while upholding the highest standards of conduct, competence, and integrity.

Ownership | Every asset, challenge, and opportunity is treated as our own. We deliver all real estate services in-house - never outsourcing responsibility, accountability, or blame.

Entrepreneurialism | We challenge convention and champion imaginative solutions. Rigorous debate is encouraged, and everyone is empowered to make decisions that elevate performance.

Meritocracy | Results, hard work, and strong ideas matter more than age, tenure, or titles. We are a diverse team that collaborates openly so each person can reach their full potential.

Action This Day | We do not defer or delay. Anything that can be done today, is done today.

The Opportunity Ahead:

Praxis is growing, and so is the opportunity.

This role gives you the chance to establish and lead the dedicated security function at St Enoch, with the potential to play a much broader role as the business and portfolio continue to grow.

If you're looking for a security leadership role with real ownership, scale and the opportunity to shape something, this could be the next step for you.
