This requires constant vigilance and ever evolving and adapting policies, processes and practices to ensure cost-effective compliance while at the same time maintaining space for program performance and innovation.

The CECO will assess a host of dynamic ethical, contractual and legal requirements and invite and manage divergent views, while managing multiple tasks and activities in a calm, resilient, collaborative and professional manner, and be able to oversee and manage investigative matters with discretion and the utmost care of the individuals and organizations involved.

They will have experience in developing and delivering training on ethics issues to all levels of team members. Bringing excellent written and oral communication skills to be able to understand and distill data analysis, and have a proven ability to gain credibility, support and engagement from a wide range of internal and external stakeholders.

The CECO will be a critical and strategic thinker while being able, and willing, to immerse themselves with details. They will be able to work both independently and, when necessary, collaboratively within a cross-functional, cross-divisional, and multi-national environment assisting in the resolution of issues in a manner that conforms to the highest ethical practices, while fostering and enhancing positive working relationships.

The CECO will have the utmost sensitivity and knowledge of cultural, political and religious environments in the regions where we work and have a strong commitment to teamwork and accountability.
