Senior Anti-Corruption Specialist

The Role

Oxfam Great Britain is seeking a Senior Anti‑Corruption Specialist who will be the Asia and MENA regional specialist for the investigation and prevention of corruption affecting Oxfam’s work. Overseeing all anti‑corruption initiatives, training and investigations across the two regions, the role holder will lead in the response to high‑risk incidents, advise senior organisational leaders on high risk issues and line manage two Anti‑Corruption Specialists, mentoring and training them to ensure the highest standards are achieved and maintained in our work.

You will have experience in investigation planning and techniques including victim and suspect interviewing, writing statements, evidence gathering and case presentation. You will have significant experience of investigating serious and complex cases and have a particular interest in fraud, corruption, and internal investigations. You will be expected to both oversee and supervise investigations taking place in your area of responsibility and conduct investigations yourself, and supporting colleagues in other regions when required.

Providing expert advice to senior stakeholders, you will play a key role in responding to a range of incidents that may have security or regulatory implications. You must be experienced in taking difficult decisions, managing risk and being accountable for those decisions. You will be prepared and willing to travel, sometimes at short notice to hardship environments.

With a dual role in corruption prevention, you will have experience of implementing anti‑corruption or counter fraud measures in organisations including delivering training, reviewing policies and developing risk assessments. You will ideally have some experience of training and be a compelling public speaker, able to convey complex subjects concisely and accessibly to global colleagues.

A high degree of discretion and confidentiality will be essential as you will be handling large volumes of sensitive information. You will have an excellent understanding of risk management and have demonstrated good judgement in handling sensitive information, particularly from vulnerable people and confidential sources.

This is an excellent opportunity for those who already have professional experience, who are seeking additional responsibility and to branch out and gain experience of the INGO sector.

You will join a highly motivated team dedicated to minimizing the impact of corruption on the communities, partners and donors Oxfam works with. A truly global organisation, you will interact daily with colleagues and communities from a wide range of communities. You will have regular opportunities to travel and gain experience and expertise in how corruption can impact the humanitarian and development sector and the communities it works with.
