    As an Investigator, you support IRC Country Programs in Somalia, Kenya, Sudan, Uganda, and South Sudan. Your main responsibility is to conduct investigations into violations of the IRC Way, including the misuse of grant funds. You are integral to developing, improving, and promoting complaint mechanisms, and expanding the ECU's investigation capacity.

    You collaborate with other IRC functional areas and programs to support our partners, sub-grantees, and other agencies in encouraging a work environment that minimizes the potential for misconduct.

    Proficiency in English is required for this role. This role also encompasses travel to our offices and field locations within the region.

    Key Responsibilities

    Investigate alleged fraud, corruption, waste, safeguarding violations, and any other type of misconduct, with objectivity, impartiality, and fairness throughout the investigative process and in line with international investigative standards and IRC guidelines.

    Engage with Country Directors, Regional Vice Presidents, and other relevant team members on investigations; streamline investigative steps with in-country Compliance Coordinators or other local staff assigned to support investigations.

    In coordination with the Senior Investigator, ECU management, and others as appropriate, prepare ad hoc briefs and draft investigation reports, presenting investigative results factually and accurately in a succinct written form.

    Prepare recommendations for corrective actions and improved controls and effectiveness or efficiency of IRC operations.
    Assist in the prioritization of investigative work.
    Participate in improving compliance-related standard processes, specifically based on lessons learned from investigative work.
    Train Country Program staff supporting investigations.

    Job Requirements

    Extensive expertise in examining forensic, financial, and electronic evidence.
    Proficiency in interviewing witnesses and subjects in multicultural environments.
    Experience working with diverse investigation teams, including in remote locations and insecure environments.

    Languages:
    Proficiency and fluency in English.

    Education:

    Certification:
