Description

VTA is seeking a Deputy Director, Physical & Cyber Security to lead critical security operations within the System Safety and Security Administration Department. If you are a seasoned law enforcement professional with command-level experience, this is your opportunity to lead security efforts—both physical and cybersecurity—for one of the Bay Area’s essential transit systems. This is a hands-on, on-site leadership position—not a remote role— where you’ll collaborate with top security professionals and law enforcement agencies. To support your move, we offer a relocation package to ensure a smooth and rewarding transition.

This role offers a dynamic blend of responsibilities, with 60% focused on law enforcement and physical security and 40% dedicated to cybersecurity each week. As a leader overseeing both domains, you will oversee physical and cyber security programs while ensuring compliance with federal and state regulations and collaborating with agencies such as CISA, TSA, DHS, and FEMA. You’ll be at the forefront of security planning for major global events like Super Bowl 60, NCAA March Madness, and the FIFA World Cup 2026, leading efforts in threat assessment, crisis response, and risk management to safeguard passengers, employees, and infrastructure.
