At Raedas we offer opportunities to ambitious candidates seeking a rigorous but rewarding working environment.
We prize experience in the investigative sector; however a background in law, financial journalism, intelligence, public relations and other complementary fields is also valued.
Linguistic capability is a strong advantage and we prioritise candidates with fluency in Arabic, Farsi, French, (modern) Greek, Kurdish, Polish, Czech, Serbo-Croat and other CEE languages, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish. A genuine interest in business, politics and law is essential.
Our investigators act for an international client base and work on ground-breaking cases. More than is possible at other investigations firms, they collaborate closely with the firm’s principals, interact with clients and are engaged at all stages of the case process. We encourage all staff to develop individual practices and reputations in the field.
