Job description

CHEP is on the hunt for a Senior Asset Protection Investigator who thrives on solving complex cases, leading undercover operations, and staying ahead of fraudsters. This isn’t your average desk job—think surveillance missions, drone sorties, social media research/investigations, and collaborating with law enforcement to keep our assets safe.

Location & Territory: Candidates need to be based in the Los Angeles area, and will cover the Southern California region

Key Responsibilities May Include:

• Design and execute proactive loss prevention and asset recovery programs across the region, ensuring the protection of CHEP’s proprietary information and intellectual property assets.
• Lead undercover investigations and complex surveillance operations to identify potential security risks and asset loss, coordinating follow-up actions where necessary.
• Monitor and implement fraud prevention measures, leading fraud investigations and prosecutions (both internal and external) to secure company assets and prevent further incidents.
• Gather, analyze, and categorize data related to criminal activities, building a comprehensive database to support ongoing and future investigations.
• Conduct internet security and social media investigations to identify and mitigate threats from criminal enterprises, using internal and external resources to address these activities.
• Manage post-incident follow-up, coordinating property recovery efforts and ensuring the timely resolution of asset loss cases.
• Serve as a subject matter expert on a broad range of security standards and disciplines, driving asset protection, loss control, and audit initiatives across the organization.
• Deploy electronic tracking equipment where authorized, following legal guidelines, and use the tools to support investigations and asset recovery efforts.

What You’ll Do:

• Lead complex investigations and undercover operations to combat fraud and criminal activity.
• Design and implement proactive loss prevention programs across the region.
• Drive fraud prevention measures, leading internal and external prosecutions.
• Conduct internet security and social media investigations to mitigate emerging threats.
• Serve as a subject matter expert on security standards, loss control, and audit initiatives.

What We’re Looking For:

• Bilingual in Spanish or Mandarin Chinese highly preferred,
• Law Enforcement Background: Minimum of 5–10 years of experience preferred. Candidates with an investigator or detective background are especially valued, as this experience is seen as more relevant than basic patrol work. Investigative skills are crucial for report writing and conducting thorough investigations.
• Report Writing & Investigation: Strong ability to document, investigate, and follow through on cases, including theft and illegal activity.
• Strong analytical skills and ability to manage complex cases.
• Tech Savvy: Ability to use tracking devices (e.g., BRICS/BXB devices), monitor social media for illegal activity, and leverage digital data in investigations.
• Flexibility & Field Work: Must be comfortable with extensive travel and working in the field, not a desk job. This is a full‑time, active role
• Discretion & Judgment: Ability to handle sensitive information, conduct background checks, and assess candidate suitability.
• Travel: Heavy weekly travel (driving) within the territory is required, with flexibility to cover other territories as needed. Occasional overnight stays (1–2 nights every other week) may be necessary.
• Global Impact: Work with a company that supports over 60 countries and leads in sustainable supply chain solutions.
• Innovation-Driven: Be part of a team that embraces automation, data intelligence, and continuous improvement.
• Career Growth: Opportunities to grow within a matrixed organization and collaborate across functions and geographies.
• Purpose-Led Culture: Join a company that values integrity, trust, and making a positive impact on the planet.

What We Offer:

• Competitive salary + Annual Bonus Plan
• Benefits Day 1!
• 401K with company match (up to 4%)
• FREE company-paid vision, short-term disability, and life insurance
• Tuition reimbursement, parental leave, childcare assistance, employee stock match program, and MORE!
