• Subrogation Process Establishment: Develop and implement a robust, consistent, and enforceable subrogation process to mitigate company liability for packages stolen by third-party providers.
• Team Leadership & Development: Design your organization and lead, mentor, and develop a team of loss prevention professionals, fostering their growth and ensuring their success in achieving shared goals.
• Process Creation & Improvement: Architect and implement new loss prevention processes, procedures, and controls from inception, continuously assessing efficiency and identifying gaps. Influence operations leadership at our 100 field sites to support Loss Prevention through process improvements.
• Stakeholder Collaboration: Partner effectively with internal teams across operations, customer service, and legal, as well as external partners, to ensure alignment of loss prevention strategies with overall business objectives.
• Reporting & Analytics: Maintain accurate records of loss incidents, investigation outcomes, and prevention efforts. Prepare comprehensive reports for senior management on the status and impact of loss prevention initiatives.

• Project Management: Skill in planning, coordinating, and executing loss prevention initiatives, including the ability to build out processes from scratch while managing day-to-day operations.
• Stakeholder Collaboration: Works effectively with internal leadership, direct reports, and external parties (e.g., law enforcement, other retailers) to achieve loss prevention objectives.
• Data-Driven Decision Making: Uses analytics and reporting to measure loss prevention effectiveness, identify trends, and drive continuous improvement.
