Senior UK Expert in Complex Investigation Management

Senior UK Expert in Complex Investigation Management 

• Location: Home-based preparation + 2-day in-person workshop in Brasília, Brazil
• Level of Effort (LoE): Up to 9 working days (between August and September 2026)
• Expected Start Date: Early August 2026

1. Opportunity Overview

DAI Global UK is seeking a Senior UK Expert with extensive operational experience in complex financial and organised crime investigations to deliver a peer-to-peer technical exchange with Brazil’s Federal Public Prosecutor's Office (Ministério Público Federal - MPF/GAECO Nacional).

This activity aims to assist senior federal prosecutors within GAECO Nacional (the MPF's Special Action Group to Combat Organised Crime) in establishing objective triage criteria, risk-scoring matrices, and command frameworks to prioritise high-complexity investigations.

The assignment centers on co-designing and delivering a 2-day interactive, in-person workshop in Brasília, Brazil, tentatively scheduled for the week commencing 21 September 2026.

2. Delivery Approach & Team Structure

This assignment will be delivered through an applied, peer-to-peer, adult-learning methodology—focusing on case-based learning, practical problem-solving exercises, and the co-creation of operational roadmaps rather than passive presentations.

While you act as the core Subject Matter Expert—providing technical expertise on UK operational practices and case management models, co-designing session materials, and leading workshop delivery—a Local Consultant will manage initial consultations in Portuguese with GAECO prosecutors, support on-site workshop facilitation, and lead the final report drafting.

3. Key Responsibilities & Deliverables

Activity 1: Alignment & Preparation (3 Days - August 2026):

• Review background materials on GAECO’s mandate and context notes provided by the local team.
• Participate in briefing calls with the Local Consultant and TIFF team.
• Co-design and finalise technical presentations, case studies, and discussion prompts for the 2-day workshop (Day 1: Case Screening & Prioritisation; Day 2: Investigation Management & Command Frameworks, such as the UK’s Gold/Silver/Bronze model).

Activity 2: Workshop Execution in Brasília (4 Days incl. travel/prep - Week of 14 Sept 2026):

• Travel to Brasília and co-deliver the 2-day interactive workshop to 10–15 senior federal prosecutors.
• Lead technical presentations, facilitate practical group exercises, and provide expert feedback as participants work on actionable outputs (e.g., draft screening frameworks).

Activity 3: Technical Inputs to Report (2 Days - September 2026):

• Provide direct written contributions on UK operational practices and models to feed into the final report.
• Provide written feedback assessing participant competency uptake and institutional recommendations.

4. Candidate Profile & Qualifications

Essential:

• Extensive operational experience in senior roles within UK law enforcement or prosecutorial bodies handling complex financial and organised crime (e.g., NECC, SFO, NCA, CPS).
• Deep practical expertise in case screening, objective triage methodologies, risk-scoring matrices, and multidisciplinary investigation management (command structures and cross-agency coordination).
• Demonstrated ability to engage in high-level peer-to-peer technical exchanges using interactive, adult-learning methodologies rather than theoretical presentations.
• Fluency in English (written and spoken).
• Flexibility and availability to travel to Brasília, Brazil, in September 2026 (currently targeted for the week of 21 September, subject to final confirmation).

Desirable:

• Prior experience delivering technical assistance or international cooperation activities in Latin America.
• Familiarity with civil law jurisdictions or Latin American public prosecution frameworks.
• Portuguese language skills (simultaneous interpretation will be provided during the workshop).
