Cargo Theft Investigations Lead

Potential Cargo Theft Investigations Lead Role

Talent Network Notice: This page describes a potential future CargoGuard role. It does not mean CargoGuard is currently hiring for this position, and the responsibilities below describe potential future scope rather than current team structure or operations.

This future role would help shape CargoGuard procedures for reviewing cargo-theft incidents, organizing evidence, and coordinating appropriately with customers and external parties. The focus would be documented processes, escalation paths, and product feedback rather than implying that CargoGuard currently operates a freight-recovery or law-enforcement function.

What You Will Do

• Help design structured review and escalation procedures for theft, fictitious pickup, and other cargo-security incidents
• Help define appropriate coordination procedures with customers, insurers, law enforcement, and cargo-theft task forces when applicable
• Build investigation playbooks, evidence standards, and chain-of-custody procedures
• Help define the skills, playbooks, and future staffing needs for investigation support
• Advise product and engineering on features that improve evidence quality, escalation, and incident review
• Represent CargoGuard at industry councils, conferences, and with insurance partners

What We Require

• 10+ years of investigative experience in cargo theft, supply chain security, federal or state law enforcement, or insurance special investigations
• 3+ years leading investigative teams or major multi-jurisdiction cases
• An established network across law enforcement, cargo theft task forces, and the insurance industry
• Documented record of successful recoveries and case outcomes
• Expert knowledge of freight operations, organized retail and cargo crime, and evidence handling
• Exceptional report writing and courtroom-ready documentation skills
• Ability to travel and respond to incidents on short notice

What Sets You Apart

• Former FBI, HSI, or state police major crimes experience
• CPP or PSP certification from ASIS International
• Active involvement with TAPA or regional cargo theft associations
