GDBA's Mission: The Safety, Privacy and Wellbeing of our Clients

The Global Protective Operations Team provides close protection during domestic and international field details. This job starts long before a client arrives: we advance every location, map every route, and plan for every contingency. The Global Protective Operations Team brings real close protection experience, the fitness to perform when it counts, and the composure to adjust when conditions shift. We are comfortable in unfamiliar cities, unpredictable schedules, and calm in high-stakes moments.

Applicants can expect an earnings range for this position of $140,000 to $200,000+ commensurate with experience, overtime opportunities, and more. This is a full-time hourly position with benefits, not a contract-based role.

This is a travel-in position, meaning qualified applicants do not need to live near any specific GDBA office. However, our ideal applicant lives within a reasonable commute of a major international airport.
