Based in Roehampton, South West London, the ITIA has a progressive and inclusive approach to modern-day employment, with great benefits, excellent culture, and opportunities for professional and personal development.

 

You don’t have to just take our word for it. Here’s what our staff have to say about working at the ITIA

  • RICHARD SACKEY-ADDO

    EDUCATION


    I’ve played tennis throughout my whole life and started coaching when I was at school. I continued my coaching journey at university, before going on to work in the International Tennis Federation's development department.

    My role at the ITIA involves managing our partner education programmes with our members, regional/national federations and other tennis bodies that help inform, educate and protect the sport and its participants. 

    Outside of work, I am passionate about diversity and inclusion. In my spare time, I co-lead the Tennis Black List, an initiative that celebrates and helps create opportunities for the black and mixed-black heritage community in tennis – both on and off the court. I am also a huge fan of live music and football.

    To me, integrity means having the strength of character to do what is right even in difficult situations.

  • REBECCA MARKS

    BUSINESS SERVICES


    I am the human resources manager at the ITIA. My role ranges from managing the recruitment process to learning and development.

    I love all sports, so jumped at the chance to be involved in an international sporting organisation, especially tennis – which I got into during the COVID pandemic. My role was a new role when I started, so I was super excited to be able to help influence the people function at the ITIA.

    The ITIA is the smallest company I have ever worked for, which has given me a great opportunity to get to know the team and make a real impact at the organisation.

    Outside of work, I am an avid gym goer and love keeping fit. I love travelling, visiting new cities, and exploring new cultures.

    To me, integrity is always being honest, and striving to do the right thing.

  • HELEN CALTON

    INVESTIGATIONS


    As one of the investigators at the ITIA, I conduct investigations of potential breaches of tennis’ integrity rules.

    As a former police officer, joining the ITIA has enabled me to further my career, but within a sport I am passionate about. 

    I love to keep active and spend my time at CrossFit, swimming or playing tennis – the latter of which with lots of enthusiasm but a little less talent!

    To me, integrity is about doing the right thing even when no one is watching you. This might not always give you the advantage, but it is fair and proper, allowing for an even playing field.

  • GLEN SHACKEL

    INTELLIGENCE


    I grew up in Wimbledon Park and could hear the cheer of the Centre Court crowds from my back garden, so I have always had an interest in tennis and would keep an eye out for whenever an analyst vacancy came up.

    Having previously worked at the Metropolitan and Surrey Police as a crime intelligence analyst, I provide analysis in support of investigations into corruption and doping offences in international tennis – this includes the analysis of a wide range of sources to assist in cases and identify further attempts to manipulate the result of matches.

    For me integrity means to build trust and respect.  Integrity contributes to professional success, promotes moral responsibility, sets a positive example, and boosts self-respect. In terms of tennis, integrity allows people to aspire to achievements and success based on hard and fair effort.

  • DANIEL COLE

    COMMUNICATIONS


    My role includes providing updates for the tennis stakeholders and general public on the work we undertake at the ITIA, including quarterly reports, press releases on sanctions, and liaising with media.

    An important part of my role is supporting the ITIA’s work in prioritising prevention of integrity issues before they occur. 

    This includes developing resources for tennis officials, players, and their support staff to ensure that they understand the rules.

    To me, integrity is about putting the principles of fair play and equality of opportunity above individual interests – no matter the personal or professional implications.

  • JOSH COAKES

    ANTI-DOPING


    As the Anti-Doping Officer here at the ITIA, I contribute to the running of the Tennis Anti-Doping Programme (TADP). This includes educating players on the rules, liaising with stakeholders, overseeing testing, and managing the Whereabouts programme.

    A big part of my role is the engagement with the players and their support team members to help develop their understanding of the TADP rules and bridge the gap between the rules and the people that they affect. This is usually in the form of one-to-one meetings or seminars at tournaments.

    I believe that integrity is the foundation on which sport thrives. Sport can help exercise integrity and provide the platform to demonstrate the importance of integrity to the rest of society.
