Security Operations Manager Jobs in Georgia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a security operations manager in Georgia?
Most candidates reach this role by combining a relevant degree with field experience and the required state credential. Georgia requires security managers overseeing contract or proprietary security personnel to hold a license issued or recognized by the Georgia Board of Private Detective and Security Agencies. Employers also expect a background in law enforcement, military security, or corporate security operations, and many prefer candidates who hold an industry certification such as the Certified Protection Professional (CPP).
How much do security operations managers make in Georgia?
Security operations managers in Georgia earn a median of about $49,400 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $34,660 for the lowest 10% to over $91,270 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire security operations managers in Georgia?
Employers hiring security operations managers in Georgia right now include Allied Universal, QTS, and Akima, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Georgia's concentration of Fortune 500 headquarters, major healthcare networks, and large logistics and technology campuses creates consistent demand for experienced security operations leadership year-round.
Which Georgia cities have the most security operations manager jobs?
Atlanta, Lithia Springs, and Marietta have the most security operations manager openings in Georgia. Atlanta's concentration of corporate headquarters, financial institutions, and technology companies drives the majority of postings, while Savannah's port operations and Augusta's military and healthcare sectors anchor demand in those metros.
Are there remote security operations manager jobs in Georgia?
Yes, but they're rare. About 50% of security operations manager openings tied to Georgia are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting that most of the role involves on-site oversight of personnel, facilities, and physical security systems. The parts of the role most suited to remote work are policy development, compliance reporting, and vendor coordination.
How can I get hired as a security operations manager in Georgia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a security supervisor or shift lead role with a contract security firm such as Allied Universal or Securitas, both of which operate extensively across Georgia and promote internally into operations management. Candidates who also pursue their Georgia Board of Private Detective and Security Agencies license early, alongside a criminal justice or related degree, move into manager tracks faster. Physical security analyst or loss prevention coordinator roles at large Georgia retailers and healthcare systems also serve as strong lateral entry points.
Where can I find and apply to security operations manager jobs in Georgia?
