At a Glance

Praetorian Executive Protection LLC is hiring executive security awareness trainers to deliver programs for corporate executives, HNW families, and organizational staff. Training covers situational awareness, active threat response, social media OPSEC, travel security protocols, and personal protection fundamentals. Trainers must combine real operational experience with the ability to teach non-security audiences in a professional, accessible format.

Protection does not stop with the operator. The principal, their family, and their staff are part of the security posture. When they understand situational awareness, know what to do in an active threat, and manage their digital footprint, the entire protection program gets stronger. Praetorian delivers security awareness training to executives, families, and corporate teams, and we need trainers who can translate real operational knowledge into programs that non-security audiences actually absorb and apply.

Situational Awareness

Teaching executives and families how to read environments, recognize pre-incident indicators, and make decisions that reduce their exposure to risk.

Active Threat Response

Practical, scenario-based training for active threat situations. Evacuation, lockdown, and decision-making frameworks tailored to the client's environment.

Social Media OPSEC

Training principals and staff on digital exposure risks, social media privacy, location sharing, and the connection between online behavior and physical security.

Travel Security Protocols

Pre-travel briefings, hotel security fundamentals, ground transportation awareness, and personal security habits for executives who travel frequently.

What Security Awareness Training Looks Like

A training engagement might involve a half-day workshop for a corporate executive team, a private session with a HNW family at their residence, or a multi-session program for an organization's staff. The content is built around practical scenarios, not PowerPoint lectures. Christopher Smith built training programs as a Primary Instructor at Blackside Tactical and developed curriculum that translated operational experience into teachable frameworks. Praetorian's training programs follow the same approach: real knowledge, delivered in a way people remember and use.

Who We Hire as Trainers

Operators with prior training or instruction experience: military instructors, law enforcement academy trainers, corporate security training professionals, or EP practitioners who have delivered client-facing awareness programs. The ability to teach is not the same as the ability to operate. We need people who can do both. Florida K license (firearms instructor) holders are preferred for programs that include firearms awareness components.

Why Training Is Part of Protection

A principal who can recognize a pre-incident indicator is safer than one who cannot, regardless of how many operators surround them. A family that knows the emergency plan does not panic when it needs to execute. An executive who manages their social media exposure reduces the threat surface the protection team has to cover. Training multiplies the effectiveness of every other service Praetorian provides, and trainers are a critical part of the operation.

What We Look For
  • Prior military, LE, or security training instructor experience
  • Ability to teach non-security audiences in a professional, accessible format
  • Real operational background that provides credibility with executive audiences
  • Curriculum development or instructional design experience
  • Strong presentation and communication skills
  • Florida K license (preferred for firearms-related training components)
What Praetorian Provides
  • Training engagements with corporate executives, HNW families, and organizations
  • Competitive engagement-based compensation
  • Praetorian's training frameworks and curriculum resources
  • Integration with the broader protection team for comprehensive client programs
  • Confidential employment relationship
  • Pathway to senior training roles and program development
