Job Overview

As an Asset Protection Officer (APO), you are the first point of contact for our customers and play a vital role in delivering a safe and welcoming environment. Stationed at key entry points or high shortage areas, your visible presence helps deter theft and minimize risk, while also reinforcing our commitment to hospitality and customer care. You serve as both a protector and a brand ambassador - maintaining strong situational awareness, responding calmly to incidents, and working in partnership with store teams to ensure a seamless, secure, and service-driven shopping experience.

This entry level role goes beyond traditional security - it's about presence with purpose. Whether you are a visual deterrent to potential theft, supporting team safety, assisting during emergencies, or simply greeting customers with a warm welcome, you help create an atmosphere where people feel comfortable, confident, and cared for.
