Newmont is the world’s leading gold company and a producer of copper, silver, zinc and lead. The Company’s world‑class portfolio of assets, prospects and talent is anchored in favorable mining jurisdictions in Africa, Australia, Latin America & Caribbean, North America, and Papua New Guinea. Newmont is the only gold producer listed in the S&P 500 Index and is widely recognized for its principled environmental, social and governance practices. The Company is an industry leader in value creation, supported by robust safety standards, superior execution and technical proficiency. Newmont was founded in 1921 and has been publicly traded since 1925.

At Newmont, people create the value in the metals we mine and are ambassadors in the communities where they live and work. As a team, we foster an environment in support of our people vision, where everyone belongs, thrives and is valued. We have built a diverse and inclusive workplace where our people can bring their differences to support delivering results together.

Newmont North America operations are located in British Columbia, Ontario, and Quebec with roles in operations, projects, and exploration. Regional Support is provided from our office in Vancouver.

Join us and unearth your potential in a global company that is at the forefront of shaping the future of the mining industry.

Your impact

At Newmont, we are seeking a forward‑looking Global Head of Security to shape and lead a world‑class security strategy that safeguards people, assets, and operations across some of the most geopolitically and operationally complex environments in the world. This is a high‑impact leadership role where your expertise in security risk management, intelligence, crisis response, and technology‑driven protection will directly influence business continuity and operational success.

Our security risks are dynamic, ranging from political instability and organized crime to asset protection and employee safety, requiring strategic security leadership to safeguard our people, products, and operations across mining sites, exploration projects, and supply chains worldwide. If you have the expertise to operate at the highest levels of security strategy, risk mitigation, and crisis response, we invite you to join Newmont and play a critical role in shaping the future of security in the mining industry.

As part of our team, you will

  • Develop and implement enterprise‑wide security strategies to mitigate risks to people, products, and assets.
  • Lead security planning across mining operations, exploration sites, and legacy projects, ensuring compliance with local and international security regulations.
  • Oversee security risk assessments, crisis response, and business continuity programs, including extreme threat scenarios (e.g., illegal mining, organized crime).
  • Leverage security technologies, evolve the technology function that includes surveillance systems, drones, intelligence tools, and cyber‑physical integrations, to enhance risk monitoring and response.
  • Build strong external relationships with law enforcement, military agencies, government entities, and industry security bodies to strengthen operational security.
  • Lead and mentor a global security team, ensuring alignment with Newmont’s corporate values and operational goals.
  • Manage security budgets, ensuring cost‑effective solutions while maintaining high safety standards.

Prerequisites for your success in this role

Education

  • Bachelor’s or master’s degree in security management, Risk Management, Criminal Justice, International Relations, or a related field.
  • Military, law enforcement, or intelligence agency training is highly desirable.
  • Experience

  • Significant experience (typically 10+ years) within security leadership experience across global assets, in mining, energy, oil & gas, or similarly high‑risk, high‑value industries.
  • Strong background in enterprise‑level security strategy development, intelligence analysis, and crisis management.
  • Proven success in managing security operations across multiple global locations, including politically unstable regions.
  • Expertise in emergency response planning, asset protection, and travel security programs.
  • Experience collaborating with law enforcement, military, and regulatory agencies at national and international levels.
  • Skills

  • Strategic leadership with the ability to drive security initiatives at the enterprise level.
  • Strong negotiation and crisis management skills, particularly in high‑risk, high‑pressure environments.
  • Ability to analyze security threats and translate intelligence into actionable plans.
  • Cross‑cultural leadership skills to manage diverse security teams and build stakeholder relationships.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration abilities to work with internal leadership, government bodies, and security agencies.
  • Knowledge

  • In‑depth understanding of geopolitical risks, security compliance, and regulatory frameworks in mining or natural resources.
  • Knowledge of advanced security technologies, including surveillance, data analytics, and intelligence systems.
  • Familiarity with contract management for third‑party security services and labor laws affecting security personnel.
  • Your work environment

    This permanent, full‑time (40 hours per week) role is based in our Vancouver, Canada office. Candidates must currently reside in the area or be willing to relocate. Relocation assistance is available for qualified candidates. Our office is located at 1066 W Hastings St, Vancouver, BC.

    Given the global nature of the company, flexibility in working hours is essential to accommodate different time zones. Additionally, this position requires frequent travel, ranging from 30% to 50%, both domestically and internationally.

    As our Global Head of Security, you will be at the forefront of strategic security leadership, shaping and executing a cutting‑edge security strategy that safeguards our people, products, and assets across multiple continents. This is a career‑defining opportunity to apply your expertise in intelligence, risk management, crisis response, and security technology at an enterprise level.

    We understand no candidate will meet every single desired qualification.

For further inquiries, we can be reached at talentacquisitioncanada@newmont.com or business hours at (604) 696‑3000.

    The expected salary range for this role is CAD $ 285,000.00 – $375,000.00 with an additional Short Term Incentive discretionary bonus with a target of 40%. This range is tied to the British Columbia market for jobs performed in British Columbia. The salary offer to the successful candidate will be based on job‑related education, training, and / or experience. The salary offer will not be based on a candidate’s pay history at other jobs, and by law, Newmont will not seek information about pay history, and candidates should not share such information with Newmont.

This role will be eligible for various benefits, including : medical, prescription drug, dental, and vision insurance; health care spending account; life, accidental death and dismemberment, and critical illness insurance; short‑term and long‑term disability; DC pension; employee assistance program (EAP); wellbeing reimbursement program; tuition reimbursement; and paid time off.
