POSITION OVERVIEW

Omnium Protection Group is seeking an experienced Executive Protection Agent for a dedicated, full-time assignment supporting senior leadership within a complex institutional environment. Working under Omnium’s program management, the agent will provide discreet, proactive protection that enables executives to carry out their responsibilities with confidence and minimal disruption to their professional activities.

The position combines close protection, advance planning, secure transportation, travel support, and emergency readiness within an integrated executive security program. The agent will develop a strong understanding of executive schedules, institutional operations, and the environments in which leaders work and travel, using that knowledge to anticipate concerns, reduce avoidable exposure, and adapt protective measures to changing circumstances. Assignments may include campus activities, local movements, public appearances, external engagements, and domestic or international travel.

Success requires sound judgment, emotional intelligence, and the ability to build trusted working relationships with executives, executive assistants, institutional security personnel, and other partners. The agent must be comfortable operating independently while remaining closely coordinated with Omnium program leadership and supplemental protective personnel. A calm demeanor, clear communication, and respect for the institution’s mission, culture, and expectations of privacy are essential.

We seek a protection professional whose effectiveness is grounded in preparation, attentiveness, and discretion—someone who can recognize when to remain unobtrusive, when to communicate a concern, and when decisive action is necessary. This is an opportunity to contribute to a continuing protective program, develop meaningful institutional knowledge, and support leaders whose work carries significant responsibility and public visibility.

• Assess threats, vulnerabilities, and travel routes; identify and reduce avoidable exposures related to timing, routing, locations, and dwell time
• Perform local area travel advances to review departures, arrivals, movements, routes, and emergency actions
• Review relevant protective intelligence and security briefings, report emerging concerns, and incorporate current information into advance planning and protective operations.

Secure Transportation & Driving

• Coordinate with approved external protective resources, venue security, transportation providers, and public safety agencies in support of assigned executive activities

Discretion & Confidentiality

• Handle sensitive information concerning executives, employees, patients, families, and visitors—including schedules, locations, movements, and security measures—with the utmost discretion
• Maintain strict confidentiality when communicating with third parties
• Follow approved communication and information-handling procedures when recording, storing, or sharing sensitive information
