Protectors are responsible for monitoring properties, controlling site access, and providing physical protection and secure transportation for clients. They must also execute security plans, respond to medical emergencies, and document suspicious activity.
Requirements
Candidates must pass a physical readiness test, be able to swim, and be drug and nicotine free. While military or law enforcement experience is meaningful, the role requires the ability to obtain state firearm and security licensing and complete a 12-day training academy.
Full job description
Gavin de Becker & Associates (GDBA) protects the world’s most influential and at-risk public figures. Founded in 1978 by 3-time Presidential appointee, Gavin de Becker, our firm’s Protectors, Analysts, and Investigators are committed to our mission of protecting human life through the assessment, prediction, and management of violence.
GDBA’s Mission: The Safety, Privacy, and Wellbeing of our Clients
A newly hired Protector in Malibu will earn no less than $81,000 in base earnings during their first year with GDBA.

Who You Are:
Military, law enforcement, or experience in executive protection/security is meaningful, though not a requirement to become a GDBA Protector. We’re less interested in what you are than who you are. Our most successful Protectors come from a variety of backgrounds and have succeeded because they communicate effectively, are physically fit, willing to learn, tell the truth, and enjoy working in a team environment. Our promotion system is merit-based. Performance matters most, not seniority.

Be able to pass physical readiness test (Pull-ups, Push-ups, Sit-ups, 800m run)
Must be able to swim
