Summary of the role
STOP THE TRAFFIK prevents vulnerable communities from being recruited, trafficked, and exploited. Our targeted prevention programmes and intelligence products disrupt the criminal business of human trafficking, making it too high-risk and low-profit to be viable.
This role will oversee our Intelligence Team, which provides strategic and tactical insights to law enforcement, financial institutions and businesses to help them identify and mitigate exposure to modern slavery and human trafficking (MSHT), and effectively spot and escalate incidents. Our insights are delivered through two products: Exploitation Analytics (for financial institutions and digital network platforms) and Business Intelligence (for businesses and supply chains). Our products are also used for the development of policy and practice locally, nationally and internationally.
The Intelligence Team is responsible for both marketing and delivering these products. As a result, our Head of Strategic and Tactical Intelligence will work with the Head of Development to oversee the sales pipeline, representing STOP THE TRAFFIK externally to generate and nurture leads. This role will ensure all intelligence products are delivered to a high standard, and that their measurable impact in preventing human trafficking is captured and communicated. There is also the need to invest in the development of our products and services, and the responsibilities of this role will include the development of global strategic intelligence function for human trafficking, processes to deliver strategic and tactical intelligence across STOP THE TRAFFIK, and the technological solution to continually improve the analysis of data to deliver cutting-edge insight.
