Senior Director of Anti-Trafficking
About The Position
Love Justice International (LJI) combats human trafficking through transit monitoring—intercepting potential victims at key transportation hubs, where traffickers and victims are most visible. Because trafficking is already underway at these points, our teams can gather vital information to assist law enforcement in arresting traffickers and disrupting trafficking networks. To date, LJI has intercepted over 100,000 individuals, resulting in more than 2,000 arrests. For more information on our impact, visit our website: lovejustice.ngo. To ensure excellence and accountability across our global operations, Love Justice has developed more than 30 core processes. These structured methods help our partners run their programs effectively in critical areas such as financial management, administration, human resources, data collection, security, potential victim care, investigations, and legal case support. While we aim to standardize these processes for consistency, we remain open to adapting them to meet specific local contexts and operational needs. Developing and implementing these processes is central to our core competency of "searching out the people, places, and tools to maximize mission impact.” The role of the Senior Director of Anti-Trafficking is to oversee the entire organization’s anti-trafficking division by empowering and leading the LJI Regional Stewards and driving forward expansion while maximizing quality-impact-on-the-dollar. The Senior Director of Anti-Trafficking will report to the CEO. The position will be based in Ballito, South Africa. This position will involve frequent travel to our different fields.
