  • Respond to law enforcement requests and represent the business in court when required, speaking with clarity and belief.
  • Identify where we can improve and make recommendations to the Head of Online Loss Prevention to reduce future losses.

What you'll bring:

  • Experience using SQL to extract data and the ability to interpret complex information to find the truth.
  • Self-motivated and able to make considered, autonomous decisions based on sound evidence.
  • Clear communication with the ability to pass on vital intelligence effectively at all levels of the business and with external partners like the Police.
  • You understand the importance of confidentiality and have a strong grasp of the regulatory framework surrounding criminal investigations.
  • Strong team player, who is also able to work on their own initiative with attention to detail.
