Job DetailsPOSITION OVERVIEWThe RST Lead is the senior on-site security professional and working supervisor for a dedicated UHNW private family residential security program in the northern San Francisco area. Reporting to the GRS Western Regional Director, the RST Lead is accountable for overall security posture, team performance, the client relationship, and operational integrity of the program. The RST Lead works one of the day shifts alongside the team and serves as the principal family's primary security point of contact.
This leadership role demands equal measures of tactical competence, executive presence, and service excellence. The ideal candidate leads a small cohesive team, earns the trust of high-profile principals, and operates with the discretion a UHNW residential engagement requires.
SCHEDULE & COMPENSATION STRUCTUREThe RST Lead works a 12-hour day shift on a fireman rotation. Active residential coverage runs approximately 9 months (September through May); the family vacates during the 3-month summer period.
Annual salary is
$100,000, paid weekly across all 52 weeks. The $100,000 rate reflects the distribution of a 9-month working engagement ($135,000 equivalent) spread evenly across the year for income stability.
During the summer, RST Lead responsibilities are reduced but not suspended. The Lead remains on retainer and conducts periodic welfare checks (exterior inspections and interior walkthroughs as directed by the GRS Western Regional Director).
