About The Position

An Asset Protection Intelligence Investigator serves as a central resource for theft and fraud related information by collecting, reviewing, and sharing insights that help reduce loss across the organization. The role supports investigators, field partners, and law enforcement by helping identify, build, and prioritize leads, and by providing timely case support that enables action in the field. Success requires strong data and technology capability—comfort working with large amounts of information from sources like sales activity, online orders, other research tools, and store video—then using analytics tools (such as Google BigQuery, dashboards, and spreadsheets) to spot patterns, confirm linkages, and quantify trends. Key skills include clear communication and organized documentation, paired with the ability to use investigative technologies to produce practical work products—lead summaries, investigative packages, and trend updates—that are easy to understand and easy to hand off to the right owners.
