Your Role As Senior Integrity Officer, you will conduct independent and objective professional analysis of reports on alleged integrity violations and staff misconduct, including: (i) assess reports to determine their credibility, materiality, and verifiability, and recommending appropriate investigative actions; (ii) investigate allegations of complex integrity violations following ADB's Investigation and Enforcement Framework (IEF) and Administrative Orders 2.02, 2.04, and 2.11, ensuring adherence to ADB's policies; (iii) conduct research and prepare responses to queries from all partners (internal and external) related to complaints, investigations, and integrity violations; (iv) draft and issue investigative reports that analyze available evidence and present factual conclusions and recommendations for remedial actions; (v) contribute to policy matters, including the review and refinement of investigation processes, case intake procedures, and enforcement mechanisms; (vi) develop and deliver knowledge-sharing products for integrity awareness projects, including training sessions, presentations, and publications; and (vii) advise all partners (internal and external) on integrity-related matters and investigation best practices. You will: A. Investigations Assess reports of alleged integrity violations to ensure they meet IEF criteria (credibility, materiality, verifiability) for further action. Plan and lead investigations into fraud, corruption, and staff misconduct (including workplace harassment and retaliation), ensuring each inquiry is conducted following ADB's legal frameworks and internal procedures. Gather and analyze evidence from internal systems, project records, and external stakeholders (e.g. contractors, consultants), and conduct in-depth interviews with complainants, witnesses, and subjects – all to establish a fair factual record. Prepare comprehensive investigation reports detailing findings, and present well-founded recommendations to ADB's oversight committees (Integrity Enforcement Committee and Enforcement Appeals Committee) for decisions on sanctions or remedial actions. Monitor enforcement of outcomes, following up on the implementation of sanctions and remedial measures (including cross-debarment with other institutions), and analyze case trends to inform improvements in ADB's integrity risk mitigation. Conduct integrity due diligence (IDD) assessments on projects, partners, and beneficiaries, providing risk-based insights to preempt fraud and corruption in ADB-supported activities. B. Policy-Related Matters Develop integrity policies, including refining OAI's internal procedures and harmonizing frameworks (such as cross-debarment arrangements with other international financial institutions), to support ADB's anti-corruption and integrity goals. Review and advise on ADB policies related to integrity and governance, recommending improvements aligned with international best practices in fraud prevention and accountability, and contributing to broader governance initiatives (e.g. ADB's Governance Thematic Group). C. Knowledge Management Deliver integrity training and capacity-building programs for ADB staff and developing member country counterparts (e.g. technical assistance projects, anti-corruption workshops) to strengthen awareness and skills in preventing fraud and corruption. Produce and communicate knowledge materials (such as articles, case studies, and best-practice guides) to highlight OAI's work and lessons learned, and promote a culture of integrity through workshops, seminars, and other outreach events. D. Others Be a focal point for specific OAI client departments or thematic issues, being an expert resource and ensuring collaboration and communication between OAI and other stakeholders.
