About the role:

Bixal is building a pipeline of qualified subject matter experts (SMEs) to support anti-human trafficking training and technical assistance (T/TA). Selected experts may be engaged on a short-term, part-time basis to design training content, advise on and peer review training materials, and deliver training in-person or virtually.

Please read carefully before applying:

This is a call for experts to join a talent pipeline. By applying, you are asking to have your resume reviewed and, if appropriate, added to a consultant database for future consideration.

• If you apply, you will receive a confirmation email acknowledging that your application was received.

• Your resume will then be reviewed and may be added to our consultant pipeline.

• Applicant contact depends on alignment with the role. You will be contacted only if a specific project arises in 2027 for which your experience is a strong fit.

• Joining our talent pipeline doesn't guarantee a project or assignment, and there's no obligation for either you or Bixal. If an opportunity aligns with your background, we'll be in touch.

• Any potential work would be short-term and part-time (for example, designing the content for a single training, advising on one curriculum, or delivering one training session). Assignments are discrete and time-limited; they are not ongoing or full-time roles.

• Availability, timing, and volume of work in 2027 depend entirely on project needs.

Compensation:

The compensation rate is expected to be $100 – $200/hour, depending on scope of work.

What Selected Consultants May Be Asked to Do:

Depending on the specific project need, engaged consultants may be asked to do one or more of the following on a short-term basis:

• Design and develop training content and materials — for example, curricula, Training-of-Trainers (ToT) manuals, toolkits, micro-learnings, fact sheets, workbooks, desk guides, and screening tools — aligned with adult-learning principles and suited to in-person, virtual, and self-directed formats.

• Advise on and review training content, including serving as a peer reviewer to assess the accuracy, relevance, and quality of materials.

• Deliver training in person or virtually, including interactive sessions with case-based problem-solving and Q&A.

• Update or adapt existing training content to reflect current best practices, terminology, and field needs.

Minimum Qualifications to apply:

• Bachelor's degree.

• At least 8 years of professional experience working in the anti-human trafficking space.

• Recognized subject matter expertise in one or more areas of anti-human trafficking — for example, victim identification and response, prevention, case management, trauma-informed care, labor or sex trafficking, tech-facilitated exploitation, or clinical/healthcare response.

• Experience developing and/or delivering training or educational content in the anti-human trafficking space, or comparable experience translating subject matter expertise into materials, presentations, or capacity-building for professional audiences.

• Working knowledge of trauma-informed, person-centered approaches to human trafficking.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Familiarity with the SOAR (Stop, Observe, Ask, Respond) framework or comparable public-health approaches to human trafficking.
