About this job



Whelan Security is looking for a talented and driven leader to drive service excellence in Nashville!

Who You Are
  • You’re a difference maker looking for a challenge.
  • You’re excited at the prospect of working with a high performing team.
  • You thrive in a fast paced environment with shifting deadlines and priorities.
  • You like to work on multiple initiatives at the same time.
  • You’re someone who wants to influence your own development. You’re looking for a company where you have the opportunity to pursue your interests across functions and geographies. Where a job title is not considered the final definition of who you are, but the starting point.
  • You are someone who firmly believes that each person in the organization deserves a great leader. You strive to lead by example and consistently demonstrate the values of integrity, courage and passion. You take a genuine interest in other people, listen carefully, tell the truth and explain “the why.” You lead by empowering and trusting people to make decisions. You strive for excellence and extraordinary results, set priorities and simplify work, and you congratulate people for a job well done. You are culturally astute and thrive in an organization where you have the opportunity to impact and influence across functions and geographies.

If this sounds like you, we would like to have a conversation with you about joining our team!
