STOP THE TRAFFIK prevents vulnerable communities from being recruited, trafficked, and exploited. Our targeted prevention efforts disrupt the criminal business of human trafficking, making it too high-risk and low-profit to be viable. This role will lead our work to prevent recruitment of vulnerable people, overseeing our global prevention programmes that reach high-risk communities with lifesaving information, typically via social media (through partnership with companies like Meta & TikTok). It will also lead our data gathering initiatives, and the development of our new product, the Safety Centre.

Programme Delivery & Product Oversight:
- Oversee all prevention programmes to ensure we reach the right audience based on intelligence with effective messaging.
- Oversee all intelligence collection and safeguarding while key campaigns are live, providing a trauma-informed and person-centred approach. Monitor, capture, and communicate the impact of prevention programmes to evidence our methodology and drive further funding. Improve and innovate our programmes to scale, overseeing the build of our new Safety Centre, a 24/7 platform leveraging AI to provide round-the-clock prevention, supporting our Full Stack Developer and supported by our senior solutions architect.
