• Demonstrated interest in human rights risks in global value chains and familiarity with international human rights and labour standards
• Strong research skills, with the ability to check and re-check information, critically evaluate content, and ensure accuracy in all outputs
• Proven ability to manage information systematically: recording, organising, and tracking data precisely and consistently
• Responsible and accountable in delivering tasks on time, flagging errors or uncertainties, and upholding high-quality standards
• Some relevant experience in research, analysis, or project support (internships, academic work, or junior roles in NGOs, intergovernmental organisations, or business will be considered)
• Fluent in English with excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and comfort working with datasets; experience with data entry or databases is desirable
• Familiarity with key data sources such as ILOSTAT, ILO conventions, and U.S. Department of Labor resources is an advantage
