A U.S.-based UHNW private client is seeking a Family Executive Protection Agent to provide unarmed protective coverage at the family’s residence in Melbourne, Florida and during domestic and international travel. Protective responsibility is primarily on the client’s minor child and extends to accompanying family members when the family is together.
Travel is extensive and runs primarily between the family’s residences and other destinations, with schedules and locations subject to change. The family maintains other household and personal staff; the protection agent works independently day to day while operating as part of that broader team.
