International Consultant Pool: Employee Relations, HR Investigations and Training

About the role

Prosper Global is establishing a pool of pre-qualified international consultants to provide specialist support on an as-needed basis in employee relations, HR investigations and People Team training and curriculum design. Selected consultants join the pool under a framework agreement; each assignment is confirmed through a separate call-off. The pool serves the People Team and the Ethics department, and joining the pool does not guarantee a minimum number of assignments.

Key responsibilities

• Area 1: Advise People Team practitioners and managers on complex employee relations cases (performance, discipline, grievances, conflict, restructuring, separations); review case files and draft documentation; provide employment law analysis across jurisdictions; support case triage and risk assessment; record case actions in HR Acuity or the indicated system.
• Area 2: Conduct workplace investigations into misconduct (bullying, harassment, discrimination, abuse of authority, Code of Conduct breaches) and safeguarding matters commissioned by the Ethics department, following a survivor-centred, trauma-informed approach; prepare investigation plans, interview complainants, subjects and witnesses, collect and store evidence, apply procedural fairness, and write a final investigation report.
• Area 3: Assess training needs, design or update curricula, modules, toolkits and anonymized case studies, deliver training remotely or in person in English and, where possible, in French, Arabic or Spanish, and evaluate training.
• All assignments: attend an inception meeting, give progress updates, maintain strict confidentiality, follow the Code of Conduct, Safeguarding and Data Protection policies, and declare conflicts of interest.

Required profile

• Minimum 7 to 10 years of relevant experience in employee relations, HR investigations or HR learning and development, including in an international NGO, UN agency or humanitarian context.
• Demonstrated experience applying employment law in more than one jurisdiction.
• For Area 1: extensive experience managing complex employee relations cases and drafting case documentation with legal counsel.
• For Area 2: proven track record of leading workplace investigations, with recognized investigation training or certification (e.g., CHS Alliance), and experience with harassment and safeguarding cases strongly preferred.
• For Area 3: experience designing curricula and training materials based on adult learning principles, and strong facilitation skills.
• Willingness to undergo background and reference checks, including through the Interagency Misconduct Disclosure Scheme.

Required skills

• Excellent written English; professional fluency in French, Arabic or Spanish is a strong advantage.
• Ability to work remotely across time zones and, when required, to travel to insecure or hardship locations (HEAT training or willingness to complete it).
• Proven discretion with highly confidential information.

To apply, submit a CV, a short cover letter stating the area(s) applied for and your languages, your daily rate in USD and two references; Area 2 applicants should also include a short anonymized summary of an investigation they have led. The pool runs for an initial two-year period, renewable after review, with assignments ranging from a few days to about 30 days.
