Close Protection Officer Jobs in Texas (NOW HIRING)

SOLICITATION OF APPLICATION

FOR EMPLOYMENT OF

PERSONAL PROTECTION OFFICER

Executive Protection Agent / Protective Driver | DFW Operations

POSITION OVERVIEW

Blue Goose Security Transportation, LLC (“Blue Goose”) provides executive protection and secure luxury transportation services to executives, business leaders, and high-profile individuals across the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. Blue Goose is building its founding roster of Personal Protection Officers — a role for senior protectors ready to continue their mission in the private sector, serving principals who demand the same excellence delivered downrange or on the job.

Blue Goose was founded by a Navy SEAL and retired police detective who understands what the transition from service to civilian life requires — an organization that matches the operator’s standards. The founding roster is being built deliberately. This position begins as part-time W-2 employment, with full-time conversion as Blue Goose grows.

This is a non-binding solicitation of an application for employment and is not a binding offer of employment. The actual terms of employment will be negotiated by the successful applicant and Blue Goose only after the application process and background investigations have been completed and the parties have agreed in writing upon the actual terms of employment.

Employment may be terminated at any time at the discretion of Blue Goose.

WHY BLUE GOOSE — CONTINUE YOUR MISSION
