Our operations network, known for our speed, accuracy, and exceptional service, delivers millions of packages and smiles to Amazon customers every day. To keep our operations network secure and assure operational continuity, we are looking for hands-on and detail-oriented professionals who want to join our team as Loss Prevention Expert. In this key role, you will deliver security as a service to our operational sites across the end-to-end supply chain to protect our people and prevent loss.
These roles are a great fit for candidates with a police or military background. The skills and experience gained in law enforcement or military service—such as security awareness, risk assessment, incident management, investigation, leadership, decision-making under pressure, and maintaining high professional standards—can translate particularly well into a Loss Prevention role at Amazon. Whether you are transitioning from active service or looking to bring your policing or military experience into a new career, we value the skills and perspectives you can bring to our team.
Key job responsibilities
• Support resilience of our business operations by contributing to emergency and crisis planning for sites within your area of responsibility
• Contribute to the identification of vulnerabilities (e.g., loss, associate experience, process improvement) and define appropriate mitigating actions while ensuring compliance with legal and ethical standards
• Serve as point of contact for and coordinate measures to manage risk with local management and external stakeholder (e.g., law enforcement agencies and industry associations) on all security-related matters
• Ensure compliance of your assigned sites with Amazon global security standards
• Own Security and Loss Prevention-related projects on the local, regional, and country level
A day in the life
As a Loss Prevention Expert, you will join a team of Security and Loss Prevention professionals providing security as a service to business customers across multiple business units within a dedicated geographical area.
You perform regular physical security audits and investigate policy violations, security-related incidents, and loss events. During your investigations, you collect information by monitoring systems and tools, analysing data reports, and conducting interviews.
Your findings contribute to identifying vulnerabilities in our processes and you identify and drive mitigating measures. You play a key role in maintaining the physical integrity of our sites by auditing and monitoring the health status of our systems and, jointly with subject matter experts and external suppliers, maintain their functionality.
Furthermore, you identify and act upon initiatives improving our physical security infrastructure and contribute directly to the budgetary planning for our external suppliers. You interact on a daily basis with our external security service providers to ensure delivery of high-quality security services and a smooth customer experience. Finally, you deliver loss prevention-related education and awareness programs to other teams across all management levels and manage the implementation of our Security and Loss Prevention plan.
