Profit Protection Manager

The Profit Protection function reports into the Global Security Director and was established in 2017.

The Global Security Teams remit is broad and includes Cyber, Corporate Security, Technical Security, Crisis management and Information Security, alongside Profit Protection, providing opportunities to learn and diversify through a broad spectrum of specialisms.

The Profit Protection team is to ensure that Dyson people, assets and reputation are secured with the adoption of a security posture relevant to the threats, the Dyson brand, and the countries where Dyson have an Omni channel Retail presence.

In addition, the team is responsible for the security strategy and standards within the retail supply chain and any investigations concerning loss within the retail / logistics environment.

This includes new product launches and all risks associated throughout the manufacture and adoption of the new machines and subsequent creation of marketing collateral and imagery.

This then reaches into the reseller market and the risks associated to those reporting to sell Dyson products without approval to do so.

The team has a focus on strategic loss identification, prevention and reduction aspiring to utilise market leading best practice, technology and people.

The Profit Protection team is a key function in the Retail Centre of Excellence, working with the functional owners of the Omni Chanel strategy and cross functional teams throughout the organization to affect and influence the retail strategy ensuring that security by design is a key consideration in the process.

About the role

The breadth of Profit Protections responsibilities within Dyson spans from manufacture to sale.

Most customers in the retail sector use a blended Omni channel approach to selecting and purchasing products.

Similarly, bad actors also adopt an Omni Channel approach and evidence of their activities is therefore distributed across multiple platforms.

Offenders target retailers throughout their entire supply chain.

Through a blended approach that includes big data analytics, artificial intelligence and fraud analysts, mature organisations effectively manage shrinkage, ensuring exposure to internal, external and process loss are managed both proactively and reactively within agreed frameworks and tolerances.

Dyson is on a strategic path to create a robust framework on which to manage our Profit Protection challenges and the introduction of the Profit Protection Managers role is a pivotal element to this.
