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

A newly hired Protector in Menlo Park/Palo Alto will earn no less than $80k in their first year with GDBA. Menlo Park/Palo Alto-based Protectors could earn up to $95k in first year earnings when accounting for prior relevant experience, GDBA Training Academy performance, and promotion opportunities.

Who You Are:

Military, law enforcement, or experience in executive protection/security is meaningful, though not a requirement to become a GDBA Protector. We're less interested in what you are than who you are.
