You'll spend two weeks each month on-site in Nairobi, working intensively with teams on investigative strategy, advanced training, and institutional strengthening. Your core responsibilities will span three areas: designing and delivering cutting-edge training on trafficking investigations and digital forensics to law enforcement and judicial officials; providing direct mentorship on proactive and reactive investigation strategies, including guidance on digital evidence, online exploitation tactics, financial crime connections, and cross-border cases; and cultivating relationships across Kenya's criminal justice ecosystem to strengthen collaboration, communication of HTI's mission, and case outcomes. You'll advise investigators on victim-centered interviewing approaches and trauma-informed practices, help identify systemic gaps in investigations, support evidence-based prosecution strategies, guide digital and open-source intelligence methods, and maintain detailed case records while safeguarding sensitive information.

You can engage confidently with senior government officials, exercising diplomacy, discretion, and cultural sensitivity in high-stakes environments. You're skilled at translating complex investigative and financial crime concepts into accessible, skills-building training for diverse practitioners. You communicate exceptionally well both verbally and in writing, present dynamically, and facilitate group learning. You exercise strong professional judgment, own accountability, take initiative independently, and engage effectively across diverse stakeholder groups even in sensitive or pressurized situations. You prioritize competing demands without sacrificing quality, deliver excellence with minimal oversight, and maintain meticulous organization. WHAT YOU BRING - PREFERRED Advanced training in investigations, financial crime, cybercrime, or related disciplines strengthens your candidacy. Three-plus years designing and delivering specialized training on trafficking, crimes against children, domestic violence, gender-based violence, or cybercrime is valuable.
