• Conduct mobile patrols of company‑occupied floors, providing visible deterrence, anomaly detection, and emergency response.
• Coordinate with visiting executive protection details at a peer‑professional level, including pre‑arrival briefings, principal movement support, and post‑departure debrief.
• Monitor CCTV and access control systems and coordinate with building operations staff.
• Serve as first responder for fire, medical, seismic, and active‑threat events on company floors.
• Maintain real‑time shift logs and file Daily Activity Reports and Incident Reports to executive‑level documentation standards.
• Manage vendors, contingent workers, couriers, and inspectors consistent with established escort and access protocols.
• Coordinate with building property management, fire life safety staff, and local law enforcement as required.

Requirements

• Valid California BSIS Security Guard Registration (Guard Card), held continuously for a minimum of two years.
• Valid BSIS Exposed Firearm Permit, current and in good standing.
• Valid California CCW, current and in good standing.
• Minimum five years of relevant security experience in technology, corporate, executive, or high‑value environments.
• Prior law enforcement, military, executive protection, or high‑profile corporate security background.
• Professional appearance, grooming, and executive‑facing communication ability.
• Ability to brief a C‑suite principal, a building property manager, a responding law enforcement officer, and an unknown lobby visitor with equal composure.
• Current AED, CPR, and First Aid certification.
• Current hand‑to‑hand or physical intervention training and certification.
• Willingness to complete a company‑administered vetting and meet‑and‑greet process prior to first shift.

Preferred Qualifications

• HR218 or LEOSA qualification.
• Off‑duty active‑status sworn peace officer.
• Prior Class A high‑rise or multi‑tenant corporate property experience.
• Prior close protection or residential security experience at the principal level.
• TCCC training.
• De‑escalation and crisis intervention training appropriate to a downtown San Francisco environment.
• Special operations, military police, USSS, DSS, or equivalent service background.
