Position Overview

The Simon Agency is seeking experienced Executive Protection Specialists to become part of the Operational Readiness Network (ORN)—a carefully selected network of protective professionals strategically positioned throughout our licensed jurisdictions to support executive protection operations for corporate executives, public officials, legal teams, family offices, and other high-profile clients.

ORN was established with a single objective: ensuring qualified professionals are identified, vetted, credentialed, and operationally prepared before they are needed. Members of ORN are considered for assignments based upon client requirements, operational needs, qualifications, licensing, geographic location, and availability.

This is an ongoing recruitment initiative designed to build and maintain operational readiness. Qualified applicants may be considered for current and future assignments as opportunities arise.

  • Protective intelligence support

  • Executive movement coordination

  • Corporate executive security

  • Political executive protection

  • Executive travel support

  • Protective site assessments

  • Venue liaison and coordination

  • Security coordination with law enforcement, venue management, and client representatives

  • Incident documentation and post-assignment reporting

  • Representing The Simon Agency with professionalism, discretion, and sound judgment

Assignments may range from single-day protective details to extended domestic or international travel support.

Applicants should possess one or more of the following:

  • Executive Protection experience

  • Sound judgment and decision-making abilities

  • Ability to maintain strict confidentiality

  • Valid driver's license

  • Legal authorization to work within the United States

Preferred Qualifications

Preference may be given to applicants possessing:

  • Current state security licenses (must have)

  • HR218 / LEOSA credentials (where applicable)

  • CPR / AED certification

  • Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC/TCCC)

  • EMT or Paramedic certification

  • Protective Intelligence experience

  • Protective advance planning experience

  • Incident Command System (ICS) training

  • International executive protection experience

  • Valid passport without travel restrictions

Professional Standards

Executive protection extends far beyond physical presence. It requires preparation, adaptability, discretion, and the ability to make sound decisions under pressure.

Members of the Operational Readiness Network are expected to demonstrate:

  • Professional appearance and demeanor

  • Exceptional client service

  • Integrity and accountability

  • Strong written and verbal communication

  • Emotional intelligence

  • Operational discipline

  • Respect for confidentiality

  • Team-oriented leadership

  • Commitment to continuous professional development

Our clients place extraordinary trust in us. We expect every ORN member to uphold that trust on every assignment.

Selection Process

Qualified applicants selected to continue through the evaluation process may participate in:

  • Application review

  • Resume evaluation

  • Credential verification

  • Virtual interview

  • Written operational assessment

  • Professional reference verification

  • Background review

  • Operational readiness evaluation

Applicants who successfully complete The Simon Agency's vetting process may be invited to join The Simon Agency Operational Readiness Network (ORN).

Invitation into ORN signifies successful completion of our professional evaluation process and placement into our operational readiness program. Membership in ORN does not guarantee assignment but reflects eligibility to be considered for deployment based upon client requirements, operational needs, qualifications, licensing, and availability.

The Simon Agency Operational Readiness Network (ORN) reflects our commitment to identifying, developing, and maintaining a trusted network of highly qualified Executive Protection Specialists who share our commitment to professionalism, integrity, discretion, and operational excellence.
