Armed Supervisor-Executive Protection and Field Operations - Bay Area

Your Security. Our Mission. Worldwide.

Global Secure 3 is an international security and risk management firm headquartered in San Francisco, with strategic resources in financial centers around the globe. We work with clients across technology, finance, healthcare, and retail to mitigate risk, protect personnel, and create the conditions for businesses to move forward without disruption.

Our supervisors set the standard for the agents in the field. They are seasoned, hands‑on leaders who hold the line on professionalism, compliance, and client service. This role includes executive protection assignments requiring a valid California CCW permit. We are expanding our Bay Area operations and are seeking a Supervisor who reflects this standard.

The Armed Supervisor oversees daily security operations across multiple Bay Area client sites, leads a team of armed and unarmed officers, and supports executive protection assignments as needed. This role serves as the on‑ground point of contact for client managers and demands strong leadership, sharp situational awareness, and a hands‑on approach to maintain safety and security.

What stays constant is the standard: disciplined, accountable, and visibly professional security operations that protect our clients and represent the GS3 brand at every post.
