Company Description

The OECD is a global economic forum working with 38 member countries and more than 100 emerging and developing economies to make better policies for better lives. Together with governments, policy makers, and citizens, we work on establishing evidence-based international standards and finding solutions to a range of social, economic, and environmental challenges. From improving economic performance and creating jobs to fostering strong education and fighting international tax evasion, we provide a unique forum and knowledge hub for data and analysis, exchange of experiences, best-practice sharing, and advice on public policies and international standard-setting.

The OECD has earned a leading role in financial and enterprise issues. In line with the Strategic Orientations of the Secretary-General, the core mission of the OECD’s Directorate for Financial and Enterprise Affairs (DAF) is to assist markets to fund inclusive economic growth, and in turn Better Lives, through producing leading research and analysis, setting and implementing standards, providing capacity building and technical assistance, and acting as a forum for co-operation and collaboration across the OECD Directorates, external stakeholders, and International Organisations. DAF’s work is structured under two work areas – Conduct and Markets – and its mission is pursued through seven substantive divisions whose teams provide member and partner countries with policy guidance, analysis, and support in the areas of competition, anti-corruption, corporate governance, responsible business conduct, financial markets, financial consumer education and protection, and international investment policy.

The Anti-Corruption Division (ACD) provides the Secretariat for the OECD Working Group on Bribery (WGB) and its 45 State Parties. It supports the monitoring of the Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions, which is a cornerstone of the OECD’s efforts to tackle corruption and build a stronger, fairer global economy. In addition, the Division promotes the OECD Anti-bribery Convention and its related instruments, in particular the OECD Anti-Bribery Recommendation, through thematic studies as well as anti-bribery partnerships at the global level.  

To bring non-member countries closer to the standards of the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention and the 2021 Anti-Bribery Recommendation, the Working Group on Bribery uses different channels for engagement in the context of its Global Relations strategy. As part of this effort, the Anti-corruption division carries out regional and country-specific technical assistance projects to assess countries’ legal and policy frameworks against the OECD standards, as well as build capacities of anti-corruption practitioners, including in the framework of its Law Enforcement Networks to strengthen international cooperation on corruption cases.

The Anti-corruption division is looking to hire an anti-corruption analyst with primary responsibilities in the coordination and implementation of technical assistance programmes. The selected person will report to the Global Relations Manager of the Division, under the general supervision of the Head of Division and in coordination with relevant regional leads.
