Panoptyc - Loss Prevention Operations Director

Hi, I’m Ross, VP of Operations here at Panoptyc.

We help convenience store and micro-market businesses fight theft that’s affecting their profits. 

Through a combination of AI software and expert video investigators, we review CCTV footage to identify and flag potential theft incidents so operators and business owners can report and prevent it from happening again. 

Even with our amazing software, it takes a large team of expert video reviewers and investigators to be sure we only flag genuine theft incidents. 

We’re headquartered in the US with a team of around 40 people, spread across the US, Canada and the Philippines. Our video investigators and team leads are in the Philippines and we’re expanding our global team footprint as we seek someone from Eastern Europe or South Africa to join us in this crucial role. We’ve got over 200 video investigators who all work remotely, reporting to 8 team leads.

Here’s a quick video that explains what we do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5QcUl5rGFk

You could think of us a bit like a call center operation, just without any calls!

Or a business process outsourcing center, only in our case, the process is video investigators reviewing CCTV footage. 

With an operation of this size, we need someone to come in and lead and optimize the team, the processes, and everything that surrounds this area of our business. 

That’s where you come in. 

With experience managing large, complex operations you’ll be excited at the chance to really take ownership and deliver great results for us.

You’ll love process, you’ll love people, and you’ll be able to balance the need for an efficient process with the challenge of cascading changes across hundreds of people. 

You’ll recognize that even small changes that deliver just a few % in cost efficiency can save a LOT of money when multiplied across a team of our size.

As a Loss Prevention Director, the purpose is to oversee and enhance the effectiveness of the company’s loss prevention strategies to safeguard their assets and promote financial stability. This role will report to the Head of Product.
