Intelligence & Investigations Officer

About the Role

The I&I Officer will deliver a robust, intelligence‑driven anti‑doping program by conducting impartial and confidential investigations into potential anti‑doping violations and by collecting, analysing, disseminating, and acting on intelligence.

The I&I Officer will work closely with colleagues across the ITA, as well as with external I&I stakeholders, law enforcement, and other relevant partners.

• Produce comprehensive, objective reports to support investigative, intelligence, results management, and prosecution processes.
• Gather, process, evaluate, and analyse information from all available sources and convert it into actionable intelligence to detect, prevent, and disrupt doping activities.
• Assess and coordinate the approved dissemination of sensitive information.
• Support the identification, recruitment, and management of confidential information sources relating to anti‑doping matters handled on behalf of ITA Partners.
• Collaborate regularly with external partners—including WADA, RADOs/NADOs, other anti‑doping or integrity agencies, and international/national law enforcement and public authorities—to share intelligence and coordinate investigative activities.
• Ensure robust internal and external investigative processes are developed and effectively implemented, and contribute to strengthening the ITA’s investigative capabilities, including through knowledge‑sharing with external partners.
• Coordinate with other ITA Departments to deliver actionable intelligence and support intelligence‑led approaches across ITA anti‑doping programmes.
• Contribute to operational and strategic decision‑making based on investigative or intelligence outcomes and detected modus operandi of doping activities.
