Job Posting: Islamic Development Bank

The multilateral development bank based in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia has renewed a search for its first Ombuds. In December 2020, IsDB had sought a "Manager Ombudsman" with duties that included some formal powers that were inconsistent with the Organizational Ombuds model employed by virtually all other international development banks. The current search envisions an Ombuds that is confidential, objective, impartial, independent, and informal.

Qualifications for the position are similar to the prior search. Applicants must have a Master’s degree in public Relations/ Business Administration or related discipline; at least ten years relevant experience in grievance handling, HR, mediation and conflict resolution, of which 5 years in the supervisory/managerial role; and English language proficiency. Fluency in French or Arabic are preferred. No salary indicated. Applications should be submitted by January 7, 2022. (IsDB Careers.)
