  • Previous experience of working in an ethical compliance role, and able to risk assess production facilities from an ethical point of view.
  • Experience of a global textiles supply chain and solid understanding of the factors that can contribute to issues influencing workplace practices.
  • Ability to collect, analyse and evaluate data so that it can provide meaningful insight as well as being able to clearly articulate complex challenges to stakeholders.
  • Commitment and passion for the positive impact that business can make to society, with a proven interest in human rights.
  • Able to work on own initiative, with excellent time management skills, and the ability to adapt, multi-task and prioritise activities.
  • Practical assessor/auditing experience and SA8000 lead auditor trained.
