Regional Security Manager
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Regional Security Manager is responsible for protecting DHL people, facilities, shipments and business operations across the region. Typical requirements include substantial experience in corporate, logistics, physical or supply-chain security; knowledge of risk assessment, investigations, crisis management and security standards; and strong communication and stakeholder-management skills. The candidate is expected to develop regional security strategies, oversee incident response, support business continuity, manage vendors and budgets, and work closely with operations, HR, legal and law-enforcement partners. International travel, confidentiality, sound judgement and the ability to influence teams across different countries are likely to be important. Relevant professional security qualifications and experience in a multinational environment would be advantageous.
Can I work in the UK?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Warehouse, driver and operations jobs are below degree level and cannot be sponsored; only managers can, and logistics managers only while on the shortage list.
Before you apply: Driver jobs need a licence that counts in that country, and a foreign one may not carry over: Japan's truck-driver visa asks for a class 1 licence, Qatar residents sit a driving test, and Ireland's permit list asks for a CE or C1E truck licence or one it recognises.
Watch for: Logistics managers are on the interim shortage list today, but the July 2026 review did not recommend them from January 2027. Youth schemes are the usual way in for Canadians, Australians and Indians.
