Security Manager Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a security manager in Florida?
To become a security manager in Florida, you typically need an active Florida Class D Security Officer License and, if managing armed personnel, a Class G Statewide Firearm License, both issued by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Most employers also require a bachelor's degree in criminal justice or security management and several years of supervisory experience. Earning a Certified Protection Professional credential strengthens your candidacy for senior roles.
How much do security managers make in Florida?
Security managers in Florida earn a median of about $98,780 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $52,300 for the lowest 10% to over $164,870 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire security managers in Florida?
Employers hiring security managers in Florida right now include Allied Universal, Lockheed Martin, and Nation Security, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Florida's large hospitality, healthcare, and government contracting sectors mean hiring is consistent year-round, particularly in the Miami, Orlando, and Tampa metro areas.
Which Florida cities have the most security manager jobs?
The Florida cities with the most security manager openings are Miami, Orlando, and Tampa. Miami and Orlando drive volume through their dense concentrations of hospitality venues, international corporate headquarters, and large healthcare networks, while Tampa's mix of financial services firms, port operations, and regional hospital systems supports steady demand outside the two largest metros.
Are there remote security manager jobs in Florida?
Yes, but they're rare. Security manager work is largely hands-on and site-based, so most Florida roles require an on-site presence. About 56% of security manager openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those positions tend to be in corporate security policy, compliance oversight, or vendor program management rather than direct operations roles.
How can I get hired as a security manager in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving up through a security officer or shift supervisor role at a large Florida employer. Healthcare systems like AdventHealth and HCA Healthcare, as well as major hospitality operators in the Orlando and Miami markets, regularly promote from within and offer structured leadership development for security staff. Earning your Florida Class D license immediately and pursuing an associate or bachelor's degree in criminal justice while working in a security officer position puts you on track for a supervisor-to-manager progression within a few years.
Where can I find and apply to security manager jobs in Florida?
You can find and apply to security manager jobs in Florida on Migrate Mate, which lists current Florida openings across industries and metro areas. Find roles that match your experience and location, then apply directly to the employer through the listing.
