Remote
Internal Investigator
About this role
WHY JOIN ALO? Mindful movement. It’s at the core of why we do what we do at ALO—it’s our calling. Because mindful movement in the studio leads to better living. It changes who yogis are off the mat, making their lives and their communities better. That’s the real meaning of studio-to-street: taking the consciousness from practice on the mat and putting it into practice in life. OVERVIEW The Internal Investigator is responsible for conducting timely, objective, and thorough investigations into employee theft, fraud, dishonesty, policy violations, and other internal-risk matters across ALO stores and operational locations.
Reporting to the Internal Investigations Manager, this role will analyze exception-based reporting and operational intelligence into defensible investigations; conduct employee interviews; preserve evidence; document findings; and partner with Asset Protection, Human Resources, Legal, Retail Operations, and law enforcement as appropriate. The successful candidate combines strong analytical judgment with disciplined investigative interviewing, clear writing, discretion, and the ability to manage sensitive matters in a fast-moving retail environment.
RESPONSIBILITIES Identify, develop, and manage internal investigations involving employee theft, fraudulent returns, gift card and refund fraud, cash-loss activity, policy violations, confidential-information incidents, and other misconduct. Use exception-based reporting and related investigative tools to identify patterns, prioritize risk, build case leads, and determine appropriate investigative scope. Leverage AI-enabled tools to develop internal case dashboards and trend analyses that identify potential cases, prioritize investigative leads, and support efficient case resolution while maintaining data accuracy, confidentiality, and appropriate human review.
Analyze transaction, refund, gift card, employee credential, schedule, video-surveillance, RFID, ecommerce, and other operational data to corroborate allegations and quantify loss. Conduct internal investigative interviews using a non-accusatory, fact-based approach; obtain complete written statements, admissions when applicable, and repayment documentation. Maintain Wicklander-Zulawski interview standards and ensure interviews are conducted professionally, ethically, and in alignment with ALO policy and applicable law.
