Role Name: Investigations Manager - Global Security
Department: Global Security
Location: San Carlos (Full-time, On-site)
About 1X
We're building humanoid robots that work in home - doing the chores, handling the tasks, and giving people their time back. Simple, but it's not.
To do this right, we have to solve robotics, AI, manufacturing - at the same time, at scale, in a form factor that has to be safe enough to live with your family. If you're inspired by this, you'll thrive here. We've been at this since 2014 and we're at the point where the hard problems are behind us and the hard work is in front of us.
NEO is our flagship - a home robot designed to move, learn, and operate in the real world alongside real people. We're not demoing it - we're shipping it. We're excited to meet you, if this excites you.
If you've spent your career working on problems that matter and want to see them actually reach the world - this is that moment. We're scaling, we're hiring with intention, and we need people who want to build something that will genuinely change how humans spend their time - safely creating abundance for all.
About the Team
Global Security protects the people, facilities, technology, and intellectual property behind NEO. As 1X moves from building humanoid robots to shipping them into homes, the team makes sure our growth never outpaces our ability to keep people safe and our work protected.
Your Charter
The mission of this role is to build and lead 1X's enterprise investigations capability, so that every serious threat to our people, intellectual property, and operations is investigated objectively, resolved quickly, and turned into findings leaders can act on. You will be the investigative partner to People, Employee Relations, Legal, IT, Information Security, and business leadership on the company's most sensitive matters. This is a build role: there is no investigations function to inherit, so the processes, standards, and partnerships you create become how 1X handles risk as it scales.
Key Outcomes
Build 1X's enterprise investigations program from the ground up, with intake and triage, case management standards, reporting protocols, and evidence-handling procedures that hold up to legal and executive scrutiny.
Lead complex, sensitive investigations end to end, including workplace violence, threats, harassment, stalking, misconduct, theft, and fraud, delivering objective, evidence-based findings that People and Employee Relations can act on.
Protect 1X's technology and intellectual property by investigating suspected IP theft, unauthorized disclosures, trade secret misappropriation, and insider threats in partnership with Legal, IT, and Information Security.
Drive protective intelligence for executives, employees, and facilities, using open-source intelligence (OSINT), public records, and specialized investigative platforms to identify threats and assess credibility before they escalate.
Deliver concise, actionable findings to executive leadership, and coordinate external investigative firms, forensic specialists, outside counsel, and law enforcement when a matter calls for it.
Key Competencies
Sound investigative judgment: separates fact from allegation, follows the evidence wherever it leads, and reaches defensible conclusions under pressure.
Absolute discretion: handles the company's most sensitive matters with strict confidentiality and evidence integrity, and knows the legal considerations that govern workplace and corporate investigations.
Skilled interviewer and writer: draws out the facts from complainants, witnesses, and subjects, and writes reports that stand on their own.
Executive communicator: distills complex, multi-party investigations into clear findings and recommendations senior leaders can act on.
Builder mindset: operates independently, creates structure where none exists, and manages competing priorities in a fast-moving environment.
Minimum Requirements
7+ years of progressive investigative experience in corporate security, law enforcement, intelligence, corporate investigations, or a related field.
Proven track record of leading complex investigations involving sensitive personnel matters, security threats, fraud, or other enterprise risks.
Demonstrated ability to conduct investigative interviews, collect and preserve evidence, and write clear, defensible investigative reports.
Experience applying investigative confidentiality, evidence integrity, and the legal considerations that govern corporate investigations.
Demonstrated ability to present complex investigative findings to senior leadership.
Preferred Skills
Experience in intellectual property theft, insider risk, corporate espionage, or technology-related investigations.
Experience supporting executive protection and protective intelligence programs.
Experience in corporate intelligence, OSINT, enhanced due diligence, or third-party risk investigations.
Experience establishing or scaling an enterprise investigations program, ideally in a high-growth technology, robotics, artificial intelligence, or advanced manufacturing environment.
Professional certifications such as Professional Certified Investigator (PCI), Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), Certified Protection Professional (CPP), or equivalent investigative credentials.

Tips for Your Investigations Manager Job Search
Tailor your resume to investigation types
Fraud investigations, HR internal affairs, and financial crimes each have different keywords and compliance frameworks. Align your resume to the specific investigation type in the posting rather than listing every case type you've handled.
Lead with case closure metrics
Hiring managers want to see how many cases you closed, your average resolution time, or the financial losses you recovered or prevented. Quantify outcomes on your resume instead of describing process steps or investigative duties.
Get your CFE or relevant certification current
Many employers require or strongly prefer a Certified Fraud Examiner designation, a law enforcement background, or an insurance-specific credential. Confirm your certifications are current and list renewal dates so they're immediately visible to reviewers.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists investigations manager openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target postings that name your industry vertical
An investigations manager role in a healthcare system, an insurance carrier, and a fintech company require different regulatory knowledge. Filter your search by industry vertical and prioritize postings where your compliance background, such as HIPAA, AML, or SOX, is explicitly listed.
Prepare a case study answer for interviews
Expect at least one behavioral question asking you to walk through a complex investigation from intake to resolution. Prepare a concise example covering how you scoped the case, managed stakeholders, documented findings, and reached a defensible conclusion.
Investigations Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most investigations managers?
The companies hiring the most investigations managers right now include State of South Carolina, Whatnot, and Airwallex, with the largest share of openings in California, Texas, and New York, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Financial services, insurance carriers, and large healthcare networks consistently account for a significant portion of active openings.
How many investigations manager jobs are remote?
About 85% of investigations manager openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with the highest share in fraud analytics, compliance monitoring, and financial crimes roles. Investigations that require in-person interviews, physical evidence handling, or on-site access to employees or systems tend to remain fully on-site.
How do you become an investigations manager?
Start by building several years of hands-on investigative experience in fraud, compliance, HR internal affairs, or law enforcement. Move into a senior investigator or lead role to develop case oversight and team coordination skills. Earning a recognized professional certification strengthens your candidacy, and demonstrating measurable outcomes, such as cases closed or losses recovered, positions you for a management-level role.
Can you get hired as an investigations manager with limited experience?
Moving directly into an investigations manager role with no prior investigative work is uncommon because most employers expect demonstrated case management and some supervisory experience. Candidates coming from adjacent roles in compliance, audit, paralegal work, or law enforcement can make the transition by emphasizing transferable skills such as evidence documentation, stakeholder interviews, and regulatory reporting, and by targeting smaller organizations where the manager role also involves hands-on casework.
What does the investigations manager interview process look like?
Most employers use a two-to-three round process. The first round is typically a phone or video screen covering your investigative background and familiarity with the company's industry. A second round with the hiring manager or a panel focuses on behavioral questions about how you've led investigations, handled sensitive findings, or managed team performance. Some employers add a written case scenario or a presentation of a past investigation before making an offer.
Where can I find and apply to investigations manager jobs?
You can find and apply to investigations manager jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your industry background, case type experience, and seniority level, then apply directly to each one that fits.
