- Write clear, objective case notes and document findings in a way that supports consistent enforcement decisions.
- Escalate urgent cases promptly when there are signs of imminent risk to an individual.
- Help establish and support a functional review queue so enforcement workflows can run effectively.
- Provide backup review support for NCII cases in alignment with the existing SOP.
- Use AI tools and follow process guidelines to support efficient, accurate case handling.
- Work with sensitive and potentially distressing material while maintaining professionalism and sound judgment.
Skills
- At least 2 years of experience in trust and safety, investigations, anti-trafficking work, or a related field.
- Working knowledge of how trafficking and exploitation can appear online, including recruitment, labor exploitation, and commercial sexual exploitation.
- Strong account-level investigation skills with the ability to connect signals across multiple profiles or activities.
- Clear, neutral written communication and strong documentation skills.
- Sound judgment for escalation, especially when cases involve possible safety concerns.
- Comfort working from an SOP and using AI-enabled tools as part of the workflow.
- Ability to handle sensitive content with care, discretion, and resilience.
Preferred Skills
