Job Description

The Lifestyle and Safety Advisor provides confidential, ongoing counsel to a principal and their family on personal safety, privacy, and reputational risk. The Advisor develops a working understanding of the family’s routines, travel, social commitments, and public profile to identify how activities, associations, and lifestyle decisions could affect their safety, family relationships, public reputation, or the company.

The Advisor maintains a discreet, low-profile presence during agreed activities and uses direct observation and regular conversations to identify patterns over time. The role calls for sound judgment about when to raise a concern, how to communicate it candidly, and what practical steps the principal and family can take. The principal and participating family members agree in advance on the scope of observation and how sensitive findings will be shared.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain an understanding of the principal’s and family’s routines, commitments, travel, and public-facing activities. Reassess risks as their circumstances change.
• Observe agreed activities from an unobtrusive position and identify recurring behaviors, situations, or interactions that could create safety, privacy, or reputational concerns.
• Assess observable conduct and circumstances involving people in the principal’s or family’s orbit that may indicate coercion, exploitation, unwanted exposure, or other credible risks. Distinguish firsthand observations from assumptions and unverified information.
• Advise on plans and decisions with potential consequences for the principal, family, or company, including public appearances, social events, travel, and online activity. Explain how a situation could attract unwanted attention or be perceived if made public.
• Brief the principal privately on significant observations, likely consequences, and practical options. Follow up on recurring concerns and adjust recommendations as circumstances change.
• Escalate urgent safety concerns through agreed channels. Coordinate with designated security, legal, communications, or household personnel when authorized and when their involvement is needed.
• Handle sensitive information with discretion. Document material findings objectively and share them only with authorized recipients.

Required Qualifications

• Relevant experience advising executives, principals, or private families in protective services, executive risk management, private client advisory, or a related field.
• Demonstrated ability to identify patterns, assess incomplete information, and communicate sensitive concerns clearly and tactfully.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to prepare concise, fact-based briefings for senior decision-makers.
• Sound judgment, discretion, and the ability to build trust while maintaining professional boundaries in personal and family settings.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting a family office, private household, or public-facing executive.
• Experience assessing privacy and reputational exposure, including social media visibility and potential media attention.
• Experience coordinating with executive protection, legal, communications, or household teams on sensitive matters.
