Job Ad Title, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Your Role

As part of this role, you'll be leading labour and social assessments across palm oil plantations, mills, refineries, and other supply chain sites. Your work will ensure compliance with labour laws, human rights standards, buyer requirements, and certification schemes. You'll be the one identi-fying labour risks and helping to shape corrective action plans that improve worker welfare and strengthen responsible business practices. Collaboration will be central to your success: you'll work closely with private-sector actors in the agricultural supply chain and government agencies to embed Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) into the palm oil sector in Malaysia. A key focus will be tackling forced labour risks, pro-moting responsible recruitment, ensuring workers' access to remedy, and preventing child labour. Beyond assessments, you'll also support companies in building their capacity to remediate hu-man rights issues empowering them to take ownership of ethical practices. This is a role that keeps you connected to the realities on the ground, requiring frequent travel to palm oil sites across Malaysia, where you'll see the impact of your work. Your daily work will include:

• Getting out into the field: Visiting supply chain sites to conduct labour rights assess-ments through document reviews, interviews, and on-the-ground observations.
• Turning insights into action: Preparing baseline and endline reports, drafting corrective action plans (CAPs), and monitoring progress to make sure improvements stick.
• Being the go-to expert: Providing technical guidance on labour rights, human rights due diligence, and social compliance to colleagues, suppliers, and partners.
• Building strong partnerships: Coordinating project activities with suppliers, government agencies, civil society, and other stakeholders to drive meaningful change.
• Improving our tools: Maintaining and refining labour assessment methodologies so our work stays sharp, effective, and relevant.
• Driving impact in landscapes programmes: Supporting social and human rights pro-jects in EF Southern Central Forest Spine (SCFS) and Sabah, ensuring alignment with local needs and priorities.
• Empowering others: Designing and delivering training sessions and workshops for pri-vate-sector stakeholders on forced labour, ethical recruitment, and grievance mecha-nisms.
• Sharing knowledge: Preparing reports and presentations that help private-sector stake-holders understand challenges and solutions, and inspire them to act.

Your Profile

You'll thrive in this role if you bring both expertise and passion for advancing labour rights and responsible sourcing. Ideally, you'll have:

• Hands-on experience in Malaysia's agricultural supply chains: You've assessed and addressed human rights risks and know how to turn findings into practical improvements for worker welfare and ethical sourcing.
• Strong command of key frameworks: You're confident applying Malaysian labour laws, UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, ILO Conventions, OECD Guide-lines, MSPO, RSPO, and EU regulatory requirements to strengthen Human Rights Due Dil-igence (HRDD) systems.
• Influence with private-sector actors: You've successfully engaged companies to shift their sourcing practices toward responsibility and sustainability.
• Training expertise: You can design and deliver impactful programmes on HRDD and criti-cal labour issues such as forced labour, responsible recruitment, child labour, and ac-cess to remedy.
• Collaborative spirit with independence: You're proactive, a strong team player, but equally capable of driving work forward on your own when needed.
• Technical polish: You produce clear, compelling presentations and analytical outputs using Microsoft PowerPoint and Excel, helping stakeholders understand complex issues and act on them.
