Retail Crime Investigator
WFA Digital Insight
Weis Markets is looking for a seasoned investigator who can blend traditional loss‑prevention tactics with the flexibility of a fully remote setup. The role goes beyond basic store‑level reporting; you’ll be the point person for organized retail crime cases, coordinating directly with local, state and federal agencies while guiding store Asset Protection teams. What makes this position unique is the mix of field work—traveling to multiple locations, conducting undercover surveillances, and managing courtroom appearances—with digital responsibilities such as operating CCTV networks and analyzing intelligence on criminal groups. Candidates should be comfortable juggling evenings, weekends and occasional overnights, and be prepared to serve as Weis Markets’ legal representative in hearings. This isn’t a supervisory job, but it demands a high degree of autonomy and strategic thinking.
