Job Description

IFC’s Business Risk and Compliance Department (CBR) supports IFC’s business teams by helping to mitigate certain risks that may occur in IFC financings and advisory projects. One of these is “integrity risk” – corruption, fraud, economic sanctions, litigation, criminal activity/history, politically exposed persons, opaque ownership structures – any of which can affect the integrity of an IFC project, or adversely impact IFC’s reputation as the preeminent international organization operating in the private sector. IFC business teams conduct integrity due diligence (IDD) to identify integrity risks and CBR supports that effort by providing legal and practical advice on managing and mitigating those risks and lessening their impact when they arise. Integrity risks are increasing in complexity and require more crisis management expertise, as IFC is exposed to increased risk arising from a strategic shift to riskier markets.

The position is based in Washington, DC, with the possibility of moving to the field in the future.

What You’ll Be:

An Integrity Risk Officer focusing on the Francophone and North Africa regions.
A strategic partner to business teams (investment and advisory).

This includes, but is not limited to risks related to corruption, fraud, politically exposed persons, economic sanctions, civil, criminal, and administrative liabilities and investigations, obscure beneficial ownership or source of funds, WBG debarment, etc.
Evaluating integrity and reputational risks, making recommendations, providing solutions to IFC investment and advisory services staff, and advising IFC Management and the Board of Directors.
Demonstrating expertise related to the Francophone and North Africa regions, and collaborating closely with other transactional risk oversight units at IFC.
Assisting with crisis management in portfolio projects.
Assisting with corporate initiatives and working groups, particularly focused on FCS, to identify possible integrity risk concerns and solutions and to enhance CBR’s delivery of services.
Developing and executing training plans for client departments and IFC Management to educate and raise awareness on integrity risk issues.
