A day in the life

As an Investigations Specialist, you will join a team of professionals who provide investigations as a service to business customers across Amazon’s end-to-end supply chain to protect our people and prevent loss. On a daily basis, you will investigate theft and fraud incidents, policy violations, and security-related events. To initiate an investigation, you receive an escalation or incident, either proactively or reactively.

You will then assess, triage, and prioritise the nature of the incident by working out its severity, impact, scope, and scale. During your work, you will conduct investigative actions to identify trends, patterns, and root causes with the aim of compiling all relevant information into an evidential packet. You will also seek to identify key person(s) of interest and conduct interviews, when required, to resolve your investigation. Upon completion, you will create a final investigation report which will support the business with an actionable, meaningful, and proportionate incident resolution.

Throughout, you will act as one of the principal points of contact and subject matter experts for internal and external departments (e.g., legal, human resources, operations, outside counsel) and contribute towards the overall Security and Loss Prevention goals and objectives.

During the course of your work, you may be required to travel both domestically and internationally across EMEA to support other teams and business units.
