- A strong professional reputation and proven record in warfighting, operational planning, targeting law, or the practical application of humanitarian law.
- Deep understanding of conflict ethics, IHL, and defense policy frameworks as applied to real-world situations.
- Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to explain complex technical and ethical ideas clearly.
- Experience in research, policy analysis, or advisory work in military, government, legal, or think-tank settings.
