An expert at stealing items!

D's Journal job description.

Stealing is wrong, of course, but your enemies didn't really need all that stuff, anyway. The thief is there to lighten their load.

Official site's description.

The Thief is a job in Bravely Default, gained by defeating the Jackal at the Harena Ruins.

Thief is the compulsory job to have if one favors to 'collect' rather than shop. The Thief is a fast physical melee job that excels in Agility and Dexterity, as well as using Daggers and Bows. Using Thieves are great against bosses as bosses tends to yield rare items. Simply stealing or mugging them is an awesome way to go, especially for 'collectors'.
