CARE International
Hargeisa, Somaliland
last year
Deadline Jan 5, 2024
The Risk and Compliance Director (R&CD) is a critical senior leadership position that requires uncompromising integrity, project cycle management knowledge, risk environment analysis/outcome/solution mapping, and strong leadership skills. The purpose of the position is to assess the risk environment and devise strategies for effective management of CARE Somalia's principal risks. This will require implementation of effective risk and compliance strategies, policies and frameworks, sound legal advice, governance arrangements, compliance with approved policies and procedures, as well as promoting ethical behavior across the CO. The position is responsible for overall guidance in reinforcing the continuum between risk identification, root cause analysis, implementation of risk mitigation measures and pre-emptive response to risks and the documentation regarding key risks and their resolutions.
The Risk and Compliance Director(R&CD) will therefore engage with country office leadership to identify potential risks in the industry and support the institutionalization of a more risk-informed management approach. Monitor strategic and critical operational risks that affect delivery and impact, with particular attention to non-compliance with donor policy as well as safe guarding and fraud/corruption.
The Risk and Compliance Director will assume a lead role in developing and implementing risk management policies and procedures, conducting risk assessments, risk and compliance reviews and/or and audits, providing training and guidance to staff, and reporting on risk-related matters to senior management.
While overall accountability of risk management sits with the Country Director and Country Senior Leadership Team (SLT), the Risk and Compliance Director acts as a critical line of defense to the Country Director (CD) and SLT in the management of risk and plays a critical role in ensuring that the CO operates in a way that minimizes risk and maximizes its potential for success.
The position is required to benchmark risk and compliance standards and procedures against industry best practice. The position holder will be a member of the Country Senior Leadership Team (SMT), providing high-level, strategic contribution to the leadership of the organization.
