Additional duties involve supporting rights holders in developing operational best practices, planning and delivering educational workshops for stakeholders, and contributing to the development of global RPP methodologies and operational standards.
Required qualifications include 3+ years' experience in investigations, intelligence, sports integrity, law enforcement, security, or related analytical fields.
