Door Supervisor.
Protect people, places and events.
A door supervisor is the judgement at the threshold: the person who decides who comes in, keeps the room safe once they are inside, and handles the hardest five minutes of anyone's night with a cool head. The work runs on presence and communication far more than muscle, which is why licensed professionals come from every background. Train for six days, pass the exams, and the most flexible badge in security opens doors, events, retail and corporate work alike.
