  • Contribute to post-event reports by compiling observations and supporting the development of recommendations.
  • Stay informed on evolving trends and best practices in event security coordination.

  • 3–5 years of experience in a security coordination, operations, or support role—experience with events or venues strongly preferred.
  • Familiarity with standard security protocols and emergency response procedures.
  • Strong organizational and communication skills, with the ability to coordinate across multiple stakeholders.
  • Ability to remain calm under pressure and respond effectively to real-time issues.
  • Certifications such as CPP, PSP, or relevant security training are desirable but not required.
