Security Officer Luxury Retail Environment
About the role
We're looking for a security officer who brings both professionalism and presence to one of Los Angeles premier luxury retail flagships. This isn't a static post - you'll be the first face guests encounter and the calm authority in the room when things get busy. Crowd control is a core part of this role, and the ability to manage high-traffic situations confidently and calmly is a must. You'll work alongside a close-knit team in an upscale, client-facing environment where your judgment and presence matter just as much as your credentials. We're looking for candidates with at least 3 years of retail security experience. If you also have a background in law enforcement, military, corrections, or hospitality security - and you take pride in doing the job right - we'd love to hear from you.
