  • Flexibility to travel frequently (domestic and international) and work irregular hours, including weekends and holidays.
  • First Aid / CPR / AED certified (TCCC or EMT certification preferred).
  • Familiarity with open-source intelligence (OSINT) and threat intelligence tools is a plus.
  • Preferred Attributes

  • High level of discretion and integrity.
  • Self-starter with strong organizational and problem-solving skills.
  • Deep respect for privacy and confidentiality.
  • Ability to work both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary security team.
  • Illinois Range : $90,000-$120,000

    The expected salary range above is applicable if the role is performed from Illinois and may vary for other locations (California, Colorado, New York).
