Director, Asset Protection

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 ALO is seeking a strategic and innovative Director of Asset Protection to lead a modern, scalable approach to protecting our people, product, brand, and retail experience across a rapidly growing global footprint. This role will build and scale a next-generation asset protection function that combines operational leadership, technology, data intelligence, strong partnerships, and brand-aligned execution to reduce risk, improve efficiency, and support growth. The Director will partner cross-functionally to deliver scalable solutions while intentionally moving beyond traditional asset protection models.
