Allied Universal Enhanced Protection Services is seeking a highly qualified, professional, and physically fit Armed Security Response Team (SRT) Agent to provide protective security services for a designated client in Boston, MA.

The SRT Agent operates in a dynamic, high-contact corporate security environment, protecting personnel, property, and organizational reputation through proactive threat detection, risk assessment, and rapid-response capabilities. The ideal candidate possesses strong operational judgment, emotional intelligence, excellent communication skills, and the ability to respond professionally to evolving security situations.

SRT Agents are expected to maintain a low-profile presence while remaining vigilant, observant, and prepared to communicate timely, accurate information to the appropriate security stakeholders. This position requires a strong commitment to professionalism, customer service, confidentiality, teamwork, and continuous operational readiness.

• Prepare accurate daily activity logs, incident reports, and after-action reports.

• Provide guidance, coaching, and mentoring to unarmed security personnel regarding professional security practices.

• Support a culture of de-escalation, conflict resolution, customer service, and continuous improvement.

Applicants must meet the following requirements:

• Be a U.S. citizen.

• Possess a high school diploma or equivalent.

• Have a valid U.S. driver's license and a clean driving record.

• Have a minimum of five years of relevant experience in law enforcement, the military, or armed security.

• Hold current First Aid, CPR, and AED certifications.

• Be able to obtain and maintain all required California security registrations, permits, firearms credentials, and other applicable licenses.

• Maintain the physical fitness, professional appearance, and operational readiness necessary to perform assigned duties.

• Be available to work scheduled 8-hour shifts and accommodate nights, weekends, holidays, and schedule changes when required.

• Demonstrate excellent written and verbal communication, analytical thinking, and report-writing skills.

• Possess working knowledge of Microsoft Office applications, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

• Demonstrate integrity, sound judgment, discretion, reliability, and the ability to protect confidential information.

Special Qualifications

Successful candidates will demonstrate the ability to:

• Provide professional guidance, tactical oversight, coaching, and mentoring to unarmed security personnel.

• Communicate effectively with corporate leadership, clients, colleagues, law enforcement, and other stakeholders.

• Exercise sound judgment and remain composed in stressful or rapidly changing situations.

• De-escalate conflicts through professional communication, crisis intervention, and appropriate problem-solving techniques.

• Balance security responsibilities with a diplomatic, service-oriented approach.

This is a full-time position involving a minimum of five 8-hour shifts per week, generally Monday through Friday. While the primary schedule is weekday-based, operational requirements may necessitate work during evenings, nights, weekends, and holidays.

Candidates must be flexible, dependable, and prepared to perform both static and mobile security duties in a professional, client-facing environment.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is a disciplined and service-oriented security professional who combines operational competence with excellent interpersonal skills. They understand that effective protective security requires more than physical readiness: it requires sound judgment, discretion, proactive observation, clear communication, teamwork, and the ability to build trust while maintaining a strong security posture.

Candidates should be committed to continuous learning, professional conduct, responsible decision-making, and delivering exceptional service to the client.
