Geotab is seeking a Head of Security Centre who will own Geotab's vehicle and asset security outcome end to end — theft prevention (Starter Inhibit, immobilization and relay-kit solutions), stolen-asset tracking, and recovery — with successful recovery rate as the domain's primary KPA. If you love technology, and are keen to join an industry leader — we would love to hear from you!
What you'll do:
As a Head of Security Centre, your key area of responsibility will be owning the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for the Security Centre, operating as a hands-on product owner and business owner to translate strategic direction into a validated business case and roadmap.

In addition, the successful candidate will have deep customer empathy, commercial instinct with P&L literacy, and AI nativity to redesign workflows and compress effort.

- Own the overarching product vision, strategy, and roadmap for the Security Centre while taking full accountability for key business outcomes like vehicle recovery rates.
- Personally drive end-to-end product discovery, requirements, prioritization, and delivery while leveraging AI tools to optimize single-person domain reach.
- Validate new business cases by sizing the market, mapping key competitors, and testing willingness to pay across target markets before scaling.
- Manage and maintain existing theft-prevention offerings—including Starter Inhibit, immobilization, and relay-kit solutions—to ensure continuous product health and ownership.
- Establish direct feedback loops with external fleet customers, sales, and support teams to identify gaps and continuously refine product features.
- Define and track core customer experience and business performance metrics, including adoption, retention, time-to-value, NPS, and overall domain revenue.
- Collaborate with platform, segment, and solution domain leads—such as Asset Tracking and Shared Mobility—to deliver a seamless theft-prevention-to-recovery user journey.
- Present data-driven growth recommendations, commercial investment cases, and annual budget input directly to department board leadership.
- Advocate for a "Geotab First" collaborative mindset by building strong cross-functional partnerships and prioritizing company-wide goals over domain silos.
What you'll bring to this role:
- 10 - 12 years of required previous experience in related fields.
- 7+ years of experience in product management, product engineering, or a related customer-facing product role, ideally in telematics, vehicle security, or IoT.
- 3+ years owning a product line or business outcome end to end, including building and validating business cases.
- 5 - 8 years of required leadership experience, including 2+ years in a role with accountability for customer-facing outcomes and cross-functional coordination (demonstrated ability to lead through influence across multiple teams and domains).
- Bachelor's degree in Business, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent combination of education and relevant work experience).
- Domain knowledge of vehicle security and anti-theft (immobilization, starter inhibit, keyless access, jamming/spoofing) with deep customer empathy and P&L literacy.
- AI Nativity to redesign domain workflows around AI, a self-starter mindset to own a single-person domain hands-on, and the ability to travel routinely (approx. 10–15%).

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Head of Security Jobs
Frame your credentials around specialty occupation
Head of Security roles must meet USCIS's specialty occupation standard. Document how your degree directly maps to your security management duties, a generic criminal justice degree paired with unrelated experience won't satisfy the requirement without a clear nexus letter from your employer.
Get your security clearance documented early
If you hold or held a government clearance, obtain official documentation before job searching. U.S. employers sponsoring Head of Security roles in defense contracting or critical infrastructure routinely ask for clearance verification before initiating any visa petition.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Use Migrate Mate to find employers with verified Labor Condition Application filings for security leadership roles, this filters out companies that say they sponsor but have never actually filed, saving weeks of back-and-forth during your search.
Distinguish physical from cybersecurity in your resume
Employers filing H-1B petitions for Head of Security roles need a precise specialty occupation definition. If your background blends physical and cyber security, clarify the dominant function, USCIS scrutinizes hybrid roles more heavily and your resume framing directly affects how the employer drafts the LCA job description.
Verify prevailing wage tier before accepting an offer
Head of Security wages span multiple DOL wage levels depending on supervisory scope. Use the OFLC Wage Search to confirm your offered wage meets at least Level II or III for your location, an employer who files at Level I for a director-level role faces LCA compliance risk that can delay your start.
Ask HR about PERM timing if you want a green card path
Security leadership roles are sponsorable under EB-2 or EB-3, but PERM labor certification takes time and must begin before your H-1B hits the six-year cap. Raise the green card question during offer negotiation, not after your third H-1B extension.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Head of Security role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
It can, but it's not automatic. USCIS requires the role to normally demand a bachelor's degree in a specific field like security management, criminal justice, or information security. Generalist titles that accept any degree or rely primarily on experience rather than theoretical knowledge face higher scrutiny. Your employer's job description must tie the duties directly to degree-level expertise to satisfy the specialty occupation standard.
Which visa types are realistic for a Head of Security candidate?
H-1B is the most common path if the role qualifies as a specialty occupation. TN visa is not available for security management roles, it isn't on the USMCA profession list. If you have an advanced degree or exceptional industry recognition, EB-2 may be viable for a direct green card. J-1 visa is not applicable unless you're in a formally designated exchange program.
Do employers typically sponsor Head of Security roles, or is it uncommon?
Sponsorship is more common at large enterprises, defense contractors, financial institutions, and tech companies with dedicated physical or corporate security functions. Smaller businesses with a single security hire are less likely to sponsor because the legal and filing costs are significant. Migrate Mate lists employers with verified LCA sponsorship history for security leadership roles so you can target the right companies from the start.
What degree does USCIS expect for a Head of Security H-1B petition?
USCIS looks for a bachelor's degree or higher in a field directly related to the job duties, security management, criminal justice, information security, or business administration with a security concentration are the most defensible. A degree in an unrelated field paired with years of security experience is harder to approve without a strong employer support letter explaining why the role requires that specific educational background.
How does a government security clearance affect my visa sponsorship prospects?
A clearance doesn't directly influence the visa petition, but it significantly affects which employers will sponsor you. Many defense and government-adjacent contractors require or strongly prefer candidates with active clearances before they'll invest in sponsorship. An active Top Secret or TS/SCI clearance narrows your employer pool but substantially increases your leverage in offer negotiations, including getting employer-paid legal fees and premium processing.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Head of Security jobs?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
