• Cross-Functional Collaboration & Training: Partner with Retail Operations, Finance, HR, Accounts, and Legal teams to surface asset protection risks and implement solutions. Develop and deliver training recommendations for retail staff on best practices in cash management, device handling, and loss prevention awareness to build a culture of accountability across all channels.
