Overview

A private client is seeking a highly professional, discreet, and security-focused Executive Protection Driver/Operations Manager to support them and their family. The ideal candidate brings law enforcement or executive protection experience, advanced defensive driving skills, exceptional judgment, and the ability to adapt quickly while maintaining strict confidentiality and professionalism. The typical hours will be Monday through Friday 7:30am-4:30pm. On most days the candidate to hire will have a chunk of time off midday or can have a space in the office/home to spend this time. If the principals have an appointment or meeting/lunch off-site, this would of course be an exception to that. Must have flexibility for weekends; the principal travels very often so some airport transfers will be early mornings or weekends (notice will always be given but sometimes he takes a last minute trip we book a day or two in advance). Travel required of the candidate to hire will be rare and more of an “eventually” at this stage. When the male principal is traveling, the driver will still be working for the female principal as needed. Longer days would be infrequent but as an example: The couple just attended an event in a city 2 hours from Miami Beach last weekend; they drove there and back same night – the driver would have done this. Must be available for longer days as needed.

Responsibilities

• Provide secure, reliable transportation between residences, corporate offices, airports, meetings, events, and other business or personal locations for the principals and their family or possibly other staff at times.
• Maintain constant situational awareness and proactively identify potential threats or safety concerns.

• Monitor traffic, weather, and environmental conditions and adjust routes or schedules as needed.

• Maintain clear, professional communication

• Assist with limited administrative or logistical tasks such as scheduling coordination, expense processing, document handling, or time-sensitive errands as needed.
• Maintain strict confidentiality regarding all personal, corporate, and security-related information.
• Travel domestically and internationally as required.
• Remain available for flexible scheduling, including early mornings, evenings, weekends, holidays, and on-call assignments.

  • Collaborating with Chief of Staff & House Manager
  • Helping the Personal Assistant to coordinate all logistics/assisting with moving tasks when the family moves into a new home eventually, this would be an added bonus if the candidate wanted to take this on.
