Senior Officer – Investigation at Equity Bank Rwanda (EBR), reporting to the Head of Security and Investigation.

 Role at a glance

The position is primarily a fraud investigation and security role. The successful candidate would investigate suspected fraud, identify weaknesses in controls, gather and analyze evidence, prepare investigation reports, and coordinate cases with legal teams and security authorities.

 Main responsibilities

  • Develop fraud-prevention policies and procedures.
  • Identify weaknesses in existing controls and recommend improvements.
  • Investigate allegations of fraud, waste and abuse involving employees, customers, or other parties.
  • Gather, review and analyze documentary and other evidence.
  • Prepare professional investigation reports and recommendations.
  • Plan and coordinate field investigations.
  • Work with local authorities and national security organs when necessary.
  • Coordinate with Legal on cases requiring prosecution.
  • Conduct investigations objectively, fairly and within appropriate timelines.

 Key qualifications

The advert requires:

  • Bachelor's degree in Law or Business Studies, with a related professional qualification.
  • Investigation-related certification is preferred.
  • Relevant professional experience.
  • More than 5 years' experience with National Security Agencies.
  • Strong knowledge of fraud investigation.
  • Strong interviewing and interrogation skills.
  • Excellent report-writing skills.
  • Strong analytical and investigation skills.
  • Security-management experience.
  • Leadership, communication and negotiation skills.
  • Ability to obtain information that isn't readily available.
  • High integrity, confidentiality and ethical standards.

 The most important requirement

For someone considering applying, the standout requirement is:

“Over 5 years of working experience with National Security Agencies.”

That is considerably more specific than simply having five years of general security or investigations experience. If a candidate doesn't have that type of background, they may not be a strong match even if they have experience in private-sector fraud investigations.
