About the Job

Security is at the core of Google's design and development process: it is built into the DNA of our products. The same is true of our offices. You're an expert who shares our seriousness about security and our commitment to confidentiality. You'll collaborate with our Facilities Management team to create innovative security strategies, investigate breaches, and create risk assessment plans for the future. You believe that providing effective security doesn't come at the expense of customer service - you will be our bodyguard (and our long lost pal).

As an Executive Support Agent (ESA) within Leadership Support Services (LSS), you deliver personal protection, executive escorts, and advance planning for C-suite leadership. You bring sound judgment and logical problem-solving to high-stakes environments, excelling independently and collaboratively.

In this role, you lead complex protective advances, execute Technical Vulnerability Team (TVT) sweeps, and coordinate secure global motorcade movements. You will partner cross-functionally to ensure quality control, drive time-critical results, and track program performance. While deployed, you report directly to the deployed Security Manager to maximize operational success. You also provide peer mentorship to Executive Support Specialists and oversee agreement security partner details.

From keeping Googlers safe and secure to managing disruptive events, the ability to anticipate, deter, detect, and act are the pillars of Google's Global Security and Resilience Services (GSRS) team. As a member of GSRS, you will help develop a culture where safety, security, and resiliency are integrated into every facet of Google, including the creative process. You will help us continually identify, evaluate, and monitor enterprise risks that could affect business activities and provide business leaders the information they need to make critical decisions. You'll collaborate with cross-functional teams to create innovative strategies and develop programs that drive sustainable effectiveness.
