  • Respond immediately to security incidents or physical conflicts in compliance with venue safety protocols.
  • Move flexibly between venue assignment areas as needed.

    • Ability to stand and patrol continuously for long durations (up to 8+ hours).

  • Mindset: Professional demeanor, punctual, clear communicator, and able to strictly follow venue procedures.
