Role
The Corporate Security Investigations & Protective Intelligence Manager will identify and investigate threats to our people, offices, and community.
In this role, you will:
Build and run the Corporate Security investigations case management system, preferably using internal AI tools to ship quickly, and select and manage external investigative tools.
Conduct investigations in close partnership with Trust & Risk, People and Legal teams.
Serve as a member of the threat management team to determine when on-platform behavior, reports, or escalations signal a credible risk of in-person harm, and assist in threat assessment, mitigation, and response.

What You’ll Do
Protective Intelligence & Law Enforcement Outreach Management
Monitor open-source and platform signals for emerging threats, and deliver concise intelligence products to Corporate Security and business partners.
In partnership with Trust & Risk and other members of the Threat Management team, determine when on-platform issues (harassing or threatening messages, escalating disputes, concerning behavior toward hosts, sellers, or buyers) could translate into in-person incidents, and collaborate on threat assessment and recommended response.
Partner with Trust & Risk on escalation criteria and handoffs between platform enforcement and Corporate Security.
Provide protective intelligence and threat assessments to support company events, executive protection, and high-profile business activities.
Partner with Trust & Risk and Legal to map the landscape of law enforcement partners and playbooks for proactive law enforcement partnership.

Design, build, and manage Whatnot’s investigations and case management system, a purpose-built alternative to platforms like Ontic, using internal AI tools to develop.
Source, evaluate, and manage investigative and intelligence tools, such as Clear, TLO, or other public-records and OSINT platforms.
Own vendor onboarding, budgets, contracts, and renewals. In partnership with the Cybersecurity and Legal teams, set permissible-use, privacy, and access standards so tools are used lawfully and consistently.
Location & Travel
This role will be based in one of the Whatnot hubs - NYC, San Francisco, Los Angeles with a preference for candidates in New York City. The successful candidate must live within commuting distance of their hub location. Expected in-office cadence: ~2 days per week.

Proven experience managing end-to-end investigations, including workplace violence, insider risk, and external threats.
Experience building/vibe-coding purpose built tooling with AI (we use Claude most prominently at Whatnot).
Deep familiarity with the investigative and intelligence tool landscape (for example Clear, OSINT and social media monitoring platforms, and case management platforms like Ontic), and the ability to articulate which tools are most valuable for this body of work and why.

Experience working with local and federal law enforcement agencies.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Tips for Your Remote Investigations Manager Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote investigations manager openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your background and apply directly without sifting through unrelated postings.
Demonstrate async case communication skills
Remote investigations managers close cases through written updates, not hallway conversations. Build a sample case summary or investigative memo you can share during interviews to show you communicate findings clearly without real-time back-and-forth.
Highlight independent case closure on your resume
Remote employers want proof you can drive an investigation from intake to resolution without daily supervision. Quantify cases closed, timelines met, or compliance findings documented to give hiring teams a concrete picture of your independent output.
Prepare for remote-specific screening questions
Expect interviewers to ask how you manage competing case priorities without a manager nearby, how you document findings for distributed stakeholders, and which tools you use for secure remote case management. Practice specific, example-based answers for each.
Remote Investigations Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote investigations manager job?
Target companies that already operate distributed teams, such as insurers, fintech firms, healthcare systems, and large compliance organizations, since these employers have established workflows for remote investigators. Remote hiring managers screen heavily for self-direction, precise written communication, and demonstrated ability to manage case documentation without in-person oversight. Candidates who can show experience closing complex investigations independently and communicating findings clearly in writing consistently stand out.
Which companies hire remote investigations managers?
Companies hiring remote investigations managers right now include Whatnot, ASML, and SpyCloud, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote openings for this role are most common at remote-first insurers, distributed financial services firms, large healthcare networks, and technology companies with global compliance functions.
Can you get a remote investigations manager job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level investigations manager roles are harder to land because employers expect you to manage cases and make judgment calls independently from day one. Insurance carriers, compliance consultancies, and fraud-focused SaaS companies occasionally hire entry-level remote candidates. Showing completed coursework in investigations, compliance certifications, or volunteer work handling sensitive information can substitute for direct experience and open those doors.
Do you need a degree for remote investigations manager jobs?
Not always. Many remote employers care more about demonstrated investigation skills, case management experience, and relevant certifications than a specific degree. Credentials in fraud examination, compliance, or security investigations carry real weight. Candidates who can point to closed cases, documented findings, or process improvements often move forward regardless of their educational background.
