The Security Officer role at Cherokee Nation Businesses is a safety-sensitive position focused on maintaining a secure environment for guests, vendors, and employees across all CNB facilities. This role requires vigilance, integrity, and a dedicated approach to protecting physical assets while promoting a welcoming and secure atmosphere. As a Security Officer, individuals will be responsible for utilizing their knowledge of security protocols, surveillance technologies, and defensive tactics to prevent unauthorized activities and respond effectively to incidents. This includes providing support and assistance to guests and employees, handling emergencies with appropriate medical responses like CPR and first aid, and liaising with local law enforcement and safety departments to ensure a coordinated safety strategy.

Candidates will be expected to demonstrate competency in maintaining and operating surveillance systems, controlling access to facilities, and managing written incident reports with detailed accuracy.

The Security Officer will be equipped with the necessary certifications such as a State of Oklahoma CLEET armed security guard license and the ability to obtain a Cherokee Nation Armed Security Officer license. The position may involve working varied shifts, including weekends and holidays, and requires the physical capability to handle duties such as lifting up to 50 pounds and working in diverse environments ranging from climate-controlled offices to outdoor weather conditions.

Additionally, safety and security personnel must comply with strict drug testing policies due to the nature of the safety-sensitive work. Candidates must be prepared to meet these requirements to maintain employment. The Security Officer position does not include supervisory or management responsibilities but focuses on frontline security operations, providing crucial support in protecting CNB’s people and property. By joining CNB as a Security Officer, individuals will be part of an organization that values safety, community, and cultural heritage, providing a meaningful career with opportunities for growth and impactful contribution to the Cherokee Nation community.
