Job Description

The Sanctions Officer (“SO”) is the first tier (first instance) of the IDB Group’s anti-corruption adjudicative system, which addresses allegations of corrupt, fraudulent, coercive, collusive, or obstructive practices and misappropriation (“Prohibited Practices”) in activities financed by the IDB Group.

The Office of Institutional Integrity (“OII”) investigates allegations of Prohibited Practices and submits Statements of Charges and Evidence (“SOE”) to the SO. In turn, the SO is responsible for adjudicating the cases submitted by OII. The SO examines the SOE and allows the investigative parties to present arguments and evidence to counter OII’s allegations. The SO then determines if the evidence supports the allegation and, if so, imposes sanctions on the investigated parties per the Sanctions Procedures.

We are looking for a bilingual consultant to provide legal advice to the IDB Group Sanctions Officer concerning the cases he adjudicates.

What you’ll do:

Provide high-quality advice to the SO concerning the review and disposition of sanctions cases under the Bank’s Sanctions Procedures, including all drafts submitted to the SO for his signature.
Conduct research and analysis on assigned issues, including laws from various jurisdictions (common and civil law) related to administrative sanctions (e.g., evidence standards applicable to administrative proceedings), identifying legal and policy issues, research relevant precedents, and proposing appropriate solutions using a variety of databases and information available and concisely summarize findings.
Deliver litigation-quality materials and related documents (communication with Respondents and counterparts within the Bank) in connection with the review and disposition of cases, including the drafting and editing of Notices of Administrative Action, Determinations, protocols, briefing notes, and other documents in both English and Spanish.
Under the supervision of the SO, may represent the Office of the SO in discussions with other Bank Group units.
Provide conceptual input and coordinate, under the SO’s guidance, the ongoing development of internal policies and procedures relating to case review, management, and processing, as well as protocols for case-related communications, internal and external correspondence, and the handling of sensitive information.
Monitor compliance with the applicable policies and procedures (including the Sanctions Procedures and the other constituent documents relating to the sanctions process), including all applicable time limitations and requirements of confidentiality, attending to the needs of internal and external audits when required.
Develop and manage, with the assistance of the IT department, the SO’s information systems, including updating the SO’s case and document management system, integrating the historical case database, and creating new tools for reporting case activity and case taxonomies.
Under the supervision of the SO, manage and review case files, including organizing all case-related records following appropriate protocols.
Assist in all logistical tasks for issuing cases to Respondents (i.e., making enough copies for each Respondent, checking all documents for consistency, preparing binders and labels, checking addresses, requesting courier service, monitoring shipping to ensure delivery, etc.).
Under the supervision of the SO, draft, proofread, and deliver reports to Senior Bank Management and the Board of Executive Directors and its Audit Committee related to the SO’s Office caseload and other relevant sanctions system information, as well as preparing presentations and other materials for conferences and official meetings.

What you’ll need:

Education:

Law degree from a recognized university (JD, BCL, LLB) with a Master of Laws degree (LL.M).

Experience:

Five years of progressive experience in trial preparation and document-intensive cases, court/tribunal rules and procedures in at least one jurisdiction, and thorough knowledge of legal processes, procedures, and terminology for review, analysis, preparation, and processing of litigation-quality documents.

Languages:

Proficiency in Spanish and English, spoken and written, is required. Additional knowledge of French and Portuguese is preferable.
