Miami, United States Gavin de Becker & Associates Full time
Job DescriptionJob Description

Gavin de Becker & Associates (GDBA) protects the world's most influential and at-risk public figures. Founded in 1978 by 3-time Presidential appointee, Gavin de Becker, our firm's Protectors, Analysts, and Investigators are committed to our mission of protecting human life through the assessment, prediction, and management of violence.

GDBA's Mission: The Safety, Privacy, and Wellbeing of our Clients

A newly hired Protector in Miami will earn no less than $55k in their first year with GDBA. Miami-based Protectors could earn up to $65k in first year earnings when accounting for prior relevant experience, GDBA Training Academy performance, and promotion opportunities.
