Chief Technology Officer

SAFE is a long-established security services provider, trusted by clients to protect offices, facilities, and other sensitive premises. Despite our legacy of success, our business model relies heavily on manual and paper-based processes. We are on a mission to transform our organization into a high-performing, data-driven enterprise that leverages automation, artificial intelligence, and digital innovation.

As our new Chief Technology Officer (CTO), you will be the visionary and execution lead for a full-scale digital revolution. Your primary objectives will be to streamline internal operations, reduce manual workloads, and harness emerging technologies to offer faster, better, and more cost-effective services to our customers. By integrating data, AI, sensors, drones, cameras, and other IoT devices into our service portfolio, you will help us reimagine modern security and develop new revenue-generating products that capitalize on technology.

This is a high-impact, strategic role reporting directly to the CEO, with the freedom to drive innovation and the mandate to evolve SAFE’s business model. You will ensure we not only improve our internal processes but also deliver a superior customer experience by making our services faster, cheaper, and more reliable.
