Female Executive Protection Specialist
Praetorian's Lioness Program staffs female protection specialists for female principals, family details, and assignments where gender access matters. We are actively hiring.
Praetorian Executive Protection's Lioness Program recruits female executive protection specialists for assignments protecting female principals, families, and engagements where gender access matters. Female specialists access environments and conversations male operators cannot, and the demand for the role is growing. Praetorian hires female specialists with military, law enforcement, or executive protection backgrounds in Florida and across the United States.
Female executive protection specialists are one of the fastest-growing niches in the field. Female principals, HNW families, and gender-specific assignments require operators who can move into private spaces, conversations, and family environments that male operators cannot effectively cover.
Praetorian's Lioness Program is built around this work, and we are actively recruiting qualified female operators across Florida and beyond.
Real EP Work
Close protection for female principals, family details, residential security, and discreet event coverage. Not security receptionist roles.
Growing Niche
Demand for female specialists is rising as more female principals, executives, and HNW families request gender-matched protection.
Lioness Program
Praetorian's program is structured around female specialists from the ground up. The work is part of the firm's offering, not a token capability.
Discreet by Default
Operators present as corporate professionals or family staff, depending on the assignment. Visible security is the opposite of the brief.
Why the Lioness Program Exists
Female principals often request female protection for reasons that include privacy, comfort, and access. A female specialist can move with the principal into spaces a male operator cannot enter without disrupting the environment.
For families with children, female operators integrate into the household routine more naturally. The work is real protection, not a cosmetic role, and it requires the same operational discipline as any other detail.
Who We Hire
Female military veterans (especially MP, security cooperation, and combat support backgrounds), former female law enforcement officers, and trained female EP professionals with prior PSD or family detail experience. Florida licensure required for licensed roles.
Soft skills and presentation are weighted heavily, and operators are expected to handle high-end environments with the same competence they bring to a movement plan.
What the Work Looks Like
Assignments range from close protection for individual female principals to full family details with school transport, residential security, and event coverage. Some assignments are scheduled as one-time coverage; others are recurring or long-term posts with consistent hours.
Operators are matched to engagements based on experience, presentation, and the principal's profile. All female specialist roles are W-2 employment with Praetorian's Class B agency.
- Military, LE, or executive protection background
- Strong soft skills and high-end presentation
- Florida Class D / Class G license (or willingness to obtain)
- Clean background and verifiable employment history
- Discretion and OPSEC discipline
- Comfort working in family, residential, and corporate environments
- W-2 employment with a Florida Class B Security Agency (License B3600136)
- Hourly wage with FLSA overtime, paid bi-weekly through payroll
- Workers' compensation and general liability during assigned duties
- Duty equipment and uniforms issued by the agency
- Real Lioness Program assignments with female principals and families
- Mentorship from a 30+ year practitioner

Questions About This Role
Is the Lioness Program a real assignment pipeline or a marketing label?
Real pipeline. Female specialists are hired into actual engagements protecting female principals and families. Praetorian's listing of the Lioness Program as a service line means there is client demand for the role, not just a recruiting pitch.
Do I need prior EP experience to apply?
Strong military or LE backgrounds with the right soft skills can be considered without prior EP experience. Most successful candidates have at least some prior protective work, but we evaluate the whole profile.
What kind of principals does the Lioness Program protect?
Female executives, public figures, HNW women, and families with children where female specialist coverage is the right fit. Engagements are matched per principal and assignment.
Is this work full-time?
Most assignments begin as engagement-based. Operators who perform consistently move into more frequent and longer engagements, including recurring family details and residential security.
