Tulsa, OK Full Time
POSTED ON 4/4/2026

Gavin de Becker & Associates (GDBA) protects the world’s most influential and at-risk public figures.  Founded in 1978 by 3-time Presidential appointee, Gavin de Becker, our firm’s Protectors, Analysts, and Investigators are committed to our mission of protecting human life through the assessment, prediction, and management of violence.  

GDBA’s Mission: The Safety, Privacy, and Wellbeing of our Clients 

A newly hired Protector in Tulsa will earn no less than $65,000 in base earnings during their first year with GDBA. Tulsa-based Protectors could earn up to $77,000 in first year earnings when accounting for prior relevant experience, GDBA Training Academy performance, and promotion opportunities. 

Your Role as a Protector: 

  • Monitor property while utilizing the tools and technology of a GDBA Command Center 
  • Screen visitors and vendors; control all access to protected site 
  • Coordinate and execute security plans and respond to medical emergencies

  • Provide secure transportation as needed 
  • Survey and prepare (advance) locations prior to arrival of client 
  • Prepare detailed documentation of suspicious activity 
  • Create and maintain readiness to meet any threat 

Who You Are: 

Military, law enforcement, or experience in executive protection/security is meaningful, though not a requirement to become a GDBA Protector.  We’re less interested in what you are than who you are.  Our most successful Protectors come from a variety of backgrounds and have succeeded because they communicate effectively, are physically fit, willing to learn, tell the truth, and enjoy working in a team environment.  Our promotion system is merit-based. Performance matters most, not seniority.
