A private U.S. client requires an experienced Executive Protection Team to support a 30-day covert protection assignment in Guatemala. This role requires a low-profile protective posture supporting a U.S. principal during extended travel within the country. The assignment involves the ability to operate independently while maintaining a professional and culturally appropriate presence. Additional work with this client may continue after this assignment for exceptional candidates.
The agents selected for this three-person detail must be comfortable operating with minimal footprint and limited infrastructure, where judgment and experience are the primary assets. While supplemental assets may be staged in-country for emergencies, the assigned agents should plan and operate as if immediate support may not be available.
Due to the nature of the assignment, specific mission details will only be shared with vetted candidates who are selected for a direct interview with the employer.
