Collaborate with colleagues in other departments to integrate advice on human rights and sustainability into client engagements.
  • Business development: Identify and build new client relationships through pro-active business development efforts; establish strong working relationships with clients through excellent project delivery. Contribute to global business development initiatives and regional marketing initiatives as part of Control Risks' Global Risk Analysis team.
  • Team management and development: Manage and develop a team of specialists in human rights and sustainability based in our London and Dubai offices. Set appropriate and consistent objectives for team members of different seniority. Foster an inclusive, collaborative environment between team members.
