Loss Prevention Jobs in Massachusetts

A Loss Prevention Specialist's primary role in the retail industry is to prevent merchandise theft, damage, or any form of financial loss to the company. They ensure the safety and security of the store's assets by implementing and overseeing loss prevention policies, conducting regular audits and surveillance, and investigating any suspected fraudulent activities. Loss Prevention specialists also train the store staff on security and safety protocols and work closely with the local law enforcement agencies when needed.

Essential skills for a Loss Prevention Specialist include excellent analytical, observational, and communication skills. They should be proficient in surveillance systems and be able to handle high-stress situations.

Prior to becoming a Loss Prevention Specialist, a person might hold roles such as a Security Guard, Store Associate, or Inventory Manager, allowing them to gain necessary experience in maintaining store security and understanding store operations.
