Riaan Kampman

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to express my interest in the position advertised. With extensive experience in corporate security across the African continent, I bring a wealth of knowledge in physical security systems, risk management, contract and staff oversight, and operational compliance—particularly within high-profile and complex environments.

Currently, I manage security operations and compliance for all Amazon contracts across Africa, where I oversee physical security infrastructure, guard force management, client relations, budget controls, and contractual performance. I collaborate daily with global teams across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, contributing to strategic initiatives and ensuring seamless execution of security projects in line with international standards. I also assist with Global projects as needed.

My background also includes working for Standard Bank South Africa as a Provincial Security Manager, where I was responsible for investigating serious and violent crimes, conducting security audits across branches in the North West Province, and implementing solutions to minimize operational risk and loss. This role sharpened my investigative and auditing capabilities and strengthened my ability to manage complex security challenges in dynamic, high-stakes environments.

I believe my diverse experience in both public and private sectors, combined with my deep understanding of operational risk, compliance, and stakeholder management, makes me a strong fit for the position. I am confident that I can contribute meaningfully to your organization's security objectives and bring both strategic insight and operational excellence to the role.

Thank you for considering my application. I welcome the opportunity to discuss how my background aligns with your team's needs.
