Job description

Control Risks is looking for an exceptional business and human rights (BHR) consultant to join our market-leading business and human rights practice. The successful candidate will be an integral member of the BHR team, working across a range of labour rights issues, human rights assessments and security and human rights projects. The ideal candidate will typically have gained several years of relevant experience working in business and human rights consulting and/or in-house business and human rights roles. You will have a good working knowledge of key business and human rights principles and trends and be able to apply them in a range of complex and demanding settings in this fast-paced and dynamic practice.

Key responsibilities include;

  • Managing and supporting complex, global business and human rights projects, with a non-exclusive focus on the Middle East and Africa.
  • Drafting detailed proposals, with the ability to accurately scope and design effective projects within the client’s budget
  • Writing high-impact reports and other client deliverables, which utilise appropriate data visualisations and a compelling writing style.
  • Creating framework scoring sheets and data dashboards.
  • Conducting site visits, audits and rightsholder engagement.
  • Supporting team business development efforts.
  • Advising on BHR matters in challenging locations, for example on mining projects in the DRC or construction projects in the Middle East.

Requirements

Key behaviours required:

  • A problem-solving, self-starting attitude, able to work independently within broad guidelines.
  • An ability to quickly and accurately understand a client’s needs and articulate a compelling solution based on our core principle of ‘practical innovation’.
  • Collaborative approach to teamwork and inter-team co-operation.
  • Willingness to learn and adapt to new technologies and project challenges.
  • Exceptional communication, research and presentation skills.
  • A balance of commercial entrepreneurialism with high standards of propriety and ethics.

Ideal background:

  • A good academic record in a relevant discipline or comparable practical skills demonstrated in a work environment.
  • A good level of relevant practical work experience in business and human rights, preferably with site-level experience.
  • A sound knowledge of core BHR laws, principles and frameworks (CSDDD, FLR, UNGPs, OECD Guidelines, IFC PS) and current trends.
  • Ability and willingness to travel occasionally for project delivery.

This is a great opportunity to join a high performing team in an internationally respected company, which has recently been ranked in Band 1 by Chambers and Partners.

Control Risks is a leading security and strategic intelligence firm. Over 50 years we have developed a reputation as practical problem solvers in complex regions, providing essential, innovative and timely support to organisations all over the world. We look forward to hearing from you about this exciting opportunity.

Benefits

  • Control Risks offers a competitively positioned compensation and benefits package that is transparent and summarised in the full job offer.
  • We operate a discretionary global bonus scheme that incentivises, and rewards individuals based on company and individual performance.
  • Control Risks supports hybrid working arrangements, wherever possible, that emphasise the value of in-person time together - in the office and with our clients - while continuing to support flexible and remote working.
  • As an equal opportunities employer, we encourage suitably qualified applicants from a wide range of backgrounds to apply and join us and are fully committed to equal treatment, free from discrimination, of all candidates throughout our recruitment process.

If you require any reasonable adjustments to be made in order to participate fully in the interview process, please let us know and we will be happy to accommodate your needs.
