Security Manager Jobs in Washington: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a security manager in Washington?

The most direct path is obtaining a Washington Security Guard Manager License through the Washington State Department of Licensing, which requires passing a background check and meeting the state's experience and training requirements under RCW Chapter 18.170. Most employers also expect a degree in criminal justice, business administration, or a related field alongside several years of progressively responsible security work. Certifications such as the CPP from ASIS International strengthen candidacy considerably.

How much do security managers make in Washington?

Security managers in Washington earn a median of about $139,990 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $89,200 for the lowest 10% to over $207,120 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire security managers in Washington?

Employers hiring security managers in Washington right now include Amazon, Google, and Microsoft, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Washington's concentration of major technology headquarters, defense contractors, and large healthcare systems means consistent, year-round openings rather than seasonal spikes.

Which Washington cities have the most security manager jobs?

Seattle, Redmond, and Kirkland have the most security manager openings in Washington. The Seattle-Bellevue corridor dominates because it is home to Amazon, Microsoft, and numerous technology and finance headquarters that require enterprise-level security programs, while Tacoma draws demand from Joint Base Lewis-McChord and the large defense contractor presence that surrounds it.

Are there remote security manager jobs in Washington?

Yes, but they're rare. Physical security management is inherently an on-site discipline, so most roles require a regular presence at a facility or campus. About 81% of security manager openings tied to Washington are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those positions tend to focus on cybersecurity governance, policy development, or enterprise risk program oversight rather than day-to-day operational security.

How can I get hired as a security manager in Washington with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is starting as a security officer or supervisor with a Washington Security Guard License, then building toward management through roles in loss prevention, emergency management coordination, or corporate safety. Large Washington employers such as hospital systems in the Providence or CommonSpirit networks and technology campuses in the Seattle area often promote from within and run structured supervisor development tracks. Earning an entry-level ASIS certification while in a frontline role accelerates that transition considerably.

Where can I find and apply to security manager jobs in Washington?

You can find and apply to security manager jobs in Washington on Migrate Mate, which lists current Washington openings across industries and locations. Find roles that fit your experience level and specialization, then apply directly to the employers posting them.
