What this level does
- Lead loss prevention across a large division or region through senior executives, carrying enterprise-level shrink and security risk as a major strategic role.

- Represent the company externally on retail-crime and security matters (industry ORC coalitions, regulatory/law-enforcement forums), and participate in enterprise strategy on risk exposure.
- Own the enterprise investment thesis for loss prevention technology (CCTV/analytics, EAS, exception-based reporting), sponsoring the transitions that reset the shrink cost curve.
- Hold accountability for enterprise loss and safety outcomes, ensuring investigative integrity and legal defensibility of the LP program at scale.
- Knowledge applied
- Shapes corporate asset-protection strategy for large units or functions, drawing on enterprise-level understanding of shrink economics, security risk and retail-crime trends.

- Collaboration & interaction

- Typical experience
- 15–20+ years with demonstrated enterprise-impact experience across large divisions or regions.
