Protective Agent
Work Schedule: Full Time
Salary: $48,108 – $83,722*
Location: Washington, DC metropolitan area
The Office of Security (OS), Protective Programs Group, has multiple vacancies for motivated and talented officers interested in protective operations serving as Protective Agents. Protective Agent positions fall within the OS/Protective Operations Specialist career track. The successful candidate will primarily support protective operations, but he/she may also be required to support other CIA Divisions’ protective requirements, such as the CIA Director’s Protective Staff. Extended foreign (60 days or more in duration) and/or domestic temporary duty assignments (TDYs) in support of critical operations are to be expected.

Typical duties of the Protective Agent include: deploying to high threat areas worldwide as part of a close-protection team, conducting protective surveys for locations overseas, supporting ad hoc protective requirements in Continental US, attending required training, and completing special projects assigned by management. Protective Agents are consistently called upon to deploy and participate in training and operational assignments, are expected to work long hours and to deploy for periods from 30 to 90 days in length. The amount of yearly travel is unpredictable, and interested candidates should expect to deploy for extended periods, often at significant personal sacrifice.
