The Heist Job is a quest available in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. These quests are quests given to the Dragonborn by Vex in The Ragged Flagon as extra work for the Thieves Guild. The purpose of a heist job is to steal a certain item from various places around Skyrim. These are side quests and do not play a role in successful completion of the main Thieves Guild line of quests. They can, however, play a part in building the Guild, unlocking city influence quests, and becoming Guildmaster of the Thieves Guild.

Bugs
This section contains bugs related to The Heist Job. Before adding a bug to this list, consider the following:
|
- 360 If "The White Phial" has been completed before stealing the emerald from the strongbox, the thief may not be rewarded.
- PC 360 Sometimes a theft won't work when stealing from a strongbox, the quest will not continue. This could be caused by Prowler's Profit.
- PC (Fix) Entering
player.removespell 000f20be
into the console allows for the removal of Prowler's Profit, fixing the bug. This can later be reversed after the completion of The Heist Jobs by enteringplayer.addspell 000f20be
into the console to add Prowler's Profit back to the Dragonborn.
- PC (Fix) Entering
- PC PS3 The quest may sometimes become impossible to complete if a person (such as a follower) distracts the Dragonborn whilst saying the quest finishing dialogue.
- Even if the job is completed successfully, a notice may appear stating that the Dragonborn was arrested and sent to the local jail, causing them to fail the task and forfeit their share of the pay. This can also happen if the Dragonborn is arrested for an unrelated crime before turning in the heist job.
