About this position

The IDB’s Office of Institutional Integrity (OII) is searching for a Private Sector Integrity Consultant to play a key role in carrying out the integrity oversight function for the IDB Group’s private sector operations. The selected candidate will participate in advising staff and management regarding the identification, assessment, and mitigation of integrity and reputational risks in specific private sector transactions. The selected candidate will also support the development and implementation of mechanisms for managing integrity risks in private sector operations.

The Office of Institutional Integrity (OII) is an independent unit within the IDB Group that promotes integrity and prevents misconduct in IDB-financed activities. It investigates allegations of prohibited practices—such as fraud and corruption—and manages integrity risks across operations and corporate activities.

As a second line of defense, OII supports teams in identifying and mitigating threats to the IDB Group’s reputation and goals. It develops protocols, advises projects, and raises awareness through training and outreach. OII also contributes to transparency by reporting findings, recommending actions, and collaborating with peer institutions to strengthen integrity standards.

The candidate’s principal responsibilities will include:

• Overseeing a know-your-customer review of IDB Invest clients and relevant entities.
• Carrying out assessments of the AML/CFT systems of financial institution clients.
• Assessing tax-related risks presented by cross-border corporate structures used by proposed IDB Invest clients.

What you’ll do

• Assist OII’s prevention team by providing advice and responding to consultations from the IDB Invest investment and other staff on the management of integrity risks in specific operations with private sector entities. This advice will encompass:
  • Monitoring compliance with IDB Invest procedures on Integrity Due Diligence (IDD) and related matters.
  • Advising teams on the identification and assessment of specific integrity risks from IDD.
  • Collaborating in the development of mitigation approaches to identified integrity risks (e.g., assessing the quality of anti-corruption compliance programs and developing client action plans to address gaps).
  • Preparing lessons learned, training materials, and similar reports to support institutional knowledge sharing and capacity building.
• Advise IDB Invest on integrity and reputational risks in line with policies.
• Advise IDB Invest and IDB Lab on potential actions and alternatives when integrity risks manifest in connection with their counterparties or operations.
• Draft disclosure language for inclusion in project documents for senior management and relevant committees.
• Manage a database of consultations received, advice given, and update OII's systems.
• Conduct research and analysis on issues relevant to OII’s prevention function (e.g., specific corporate entities, anti-money laundering regulations, or developing international tax transparency standards.)

What you'll need

• Education: Master or equivalent post-graduate education in Law, Compliance, Business Administration, Finance, Forensic Auditing, or related fields.
• Experience: Minimum 5 years of relevant professional experience, preferably in:
  • Anti-corruption compliance/oversight, especially assessing or implementing anti-corruption programs.
  • Anti-money laundering compliance/oversight, especially assessing or designing AML/CFT programs.
  • Cross-border tax strategies, specially creating or assessing tax optimization structures.
  • Compliance/oversight roles in international institutions.
  • Strong ability to balance multiple priorities under pressure while safeguarding quality and sensitive information.
• Languages: Proficiency in English and one other official Bank language (Spanish, French, or Portuguese) required.
