About The Position

As an Asset Protection Officer, you are a visible and welcoming presence who helps create a safe, secure, and service-focused shopping environment. Stationed at key entrances and high-shortage areas, you help deter theft, identify potential risk, support customer and colleague safety, and partner with store teams to deliver a positive experience for everyone who enters the store.

Whether greeting customers, helping deter theft, supporting team safety, or responding calmly during incidents, Asset Protection Officers help customers and colleagues feel comfortable, confident, and cared for while protecting the business. Our colleagues begin each day energized and ready to make an impact. They greet teammates with a warm hello. Before they get started, they review updates and department information so they're fully informed and ready to engage with confidence. On the floor, they focus on the customer - offering a warm welcome, making eye contact, and creating friendly customer experience. We believe service starts with each other - supporting one another with honesty, care, and collaboration so we can better serve our customers and communities. And we know that excellence is a journey - we strive to improve every day, take pride in our work, achieve sales goals and learn from each other to deliver individual and store results.
