About the role:

The Protective Security Agent serves as the premier point of contact and primary line of defense for employees, visitors, and executives, delivering an exceptional corporate workplace experience through a precise combination of five-star hospitality and rigorous operational security. This role requires individuals with high emotional intelligence, calm under pressure, and a strong sense of professional discipline— aligned with backgrounds in corporate security, executive protection, or military service.

• Workplace Platform Execution: Manage visitor registration, badge issuance, credential verification, and facility access control procedures utilizing modern enterprise Visitor Management Systems (VMS) and cloud-based security platforms.
• Proactive Threat Assessment: Maintain constant, active situational awareness to identify, de-escalate, and resolve security anomalies, suspicious activity, policy infractions, safety hazards, or physical breaches before they escalate.
• Facility Stewardship: Proactively inspect the facility footprint and log building defects, safety hazards, or maintenance items directly into the client's internal IT/facilities ticketing infrastructure.
• Lobby & Event Logistics: Coordinate security operations, including executive-level arrivals, high-profile corporate event security, and delivery/logistics routing.
• Operational Reporting: Create and maintain digital visitor records, comprehensive incident reports, daily activity logs, and required administrative security documentation.
• Emergency & Trauma Response: Act as the primary on-scene coordinator during medical emergencies, evacuations, or fire/life safety incidents, delivering immediate, disciplined guidance, CPR/AED administration, and trauma-kit coordination until first responders arrive.
• Perform other related operational duties as required.

• Associate's or Bachelor's degree in criminal justice, emergency management, business administration, or a related discipline preferred; equivalent military or law enforcement operational experience is highly valued.
• Minimum two (2) to three (3) years of experience within high-end corporate campus security, executive protection, or military operational roles (e.g., Military Police, Security Forces, Master-at-Arms) where front-facing brand representation and high discipline were required.
• Demonstrable technical proficiency in operating modern, cloud-based enterprise Access Control Management databases, digital visitor check-in software, and workspace productivity platforms (iOS and PC hardware).
• Strong verbal and written communication skills with the absolute ability to exercise professionalism, sound judgment, strict confidentiality, and tactical discretion while perfectly balancing interpersonal tact with security enforcement.
• Must complete and maintain state Guard Certification as prescribed by applicable state law, as well as all client-required certifications; all documentation and licensing pathway support will be facilitated by the employer.
