Executive Protection Manager

About the role

The Executive Protection Manager is responsible for planning and executing comprehensive executive protection for the Chief Executive Officer and for members of the Board of Directors during quarterly Board meetings and related events, and for providing threat assessment and travel advisory support for other Executive Leadership Team (ELT) members attending high-exposure events. This role will typically travel with the CEO to provide direct, hands-on executive protection; for other ELT members, involvement will generally be limited to threat assessment and travel advice rather than traveling with them to provide direct protective coverage. Reporting directly to the Chief Operating Officer, this individual contributor role designs and delivers protective plans, threat assessments, and travel security protocols to safeguard company leadership. The role works closely with the Security Manager and the broader Security organization — which oversees business continuity, criminal investigation support, and facility security — coordinating as needed on security planning associated with CEO, Board of Directors, and ELT travel.
