The Foundation The Team The Foundation partners with people and organizations worldwide, through grant making, to tackle critical problems across various program areas and divisions. Our Global Growth & Opportunity (GGO) Division focuses on creating and scaling market-based innovations to stimulate inclusive and sustainable economic growth. GGO focuses on the areas of Agricultural Development, Global Education, Inclusive Financial Systems, Nutrition, and Water, Sanitation and Hygiene. We believe that people are poor because markets do not work for them, and we promote innovative products and policies that can break down barriers to economic opportunity, help people lift themselves out of poverty, and deliver sustainable and inclusive growth that benefits everyone. The Inclusive Financial Systems (IFS) team believes that valuable, low-cost financial products have the potential to offer a pathway out of poverty, and that digital financial systems can enable the private sector's delivery of such products to the poor sustainably and at scale.IFS supports the buildout of inclusive digital financial services (DFS) systems in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) by (i) enabling the right policy and regulatory environment; (ii) supporting the implementation of inclusive digital payments systems; (iii) driving scale and economic sustainability by promoting pro-poor use cases; and (iv) closing the gender gap in the usage of formal financial products. Your Role We are seeking a Senior Program Officer, Digital Financial Services Supervision , to lead and develop a DFS Supervision portfolio. In this role, you will work across the foundation and the industry to develop a DFS Supervision strategy and manage a portfolio of investments that align to this strategy, as well as investments already developed under the former Consumer Protection and Supervisory Technology (SupTech) portfolio, pushing the bounds of our thinking on how risk based supervision can help solve seemingly intractable challenges surrounding prudential issues and consumer protection supervision in DFS. Key areas of focus will include: Risk-based supervision of DFS to fulfill both prudential and market conduct (consumer protection, Anti-Money Laundering/Counter-Terrorist Financing (AML/CFT) and competition) supervisory mandates. Supervision aspects of consumer protection, including fraud, over indebtedness, grievance redressal, disclosure, informed consent for data sharing, fair treatment, product suitability among other topics. Technology tools and data systems applied to risk-based supervisory approaches for both prudential and market conduct mandates. Ways in which supervisory approaches and technology tools can help supervisors align the goal of preventing money laundering and financing of terrorism with financial inclusion goals. Supervisory approaches and techniques to advance competition mandates in the context of emerging regulatory frameworks on data sharing (e.g. open finance), instant payment, among others. Technology capacity building, skills development and organizational culture nurturing for financial supervisors in LMIC - particularly in Africa and Asia. Potential impact of international standards and best practices promoted via international forum such as standard-setting bodies, on the ability of LMIC supervisors to balance financial inclusion with other mandates, via risk-based supervisory approaches.

The Foundation The Team The Foundation partners with people and organizations worldwide, through grant making, to tackle critical problems across various program areas and divisions. Our Global Growth & Opportunity (GGO) Division focuses on creating and scaling market-based innovations to stimulate inclusive and sustainable economic growth. GGO focuses on the areas of Agricultural Development, Global Education, Inclusive Financial Systems, Nutrition, and Water, Sanitation and Hygiene. We believe that people are poor because markets do not work for them, and we promote innovative products and policies that can break down barriers to economic opportunity, help people lift themselves out of poverty, and deliver sustainable and inclusive growth that benefits everyone. The Inclusive Financial Systems (IFS) team believes that valuable, low-cost financial products have the potential to offer a pathway out of poverty, and that digital financial systems can enable the private sector's delivery of such products to the poor sustainably and at scale.IFS supports the buildout of inclusive digital financial services (DFS) systems in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) by (i) enabling the right policy and regulatory environment; (ii) supporting the implementation of inclusive digital payments systems; (iii) driving scale and economic sustainability by promoting pro-poor use cases; and (iv) closing the gender gap in the usage of formal financial products. Your Role We are seeking a Senior Program Officer, Digital Financial Services Supervision , to lead and develop a DFS Supervision portfolio. In this role, you will work across the foundation and the industry to develop a DFS Supervision strategy and manage a portfolio of investments that align to this strategy, as well as investments already developed under the former Consumer Protection and Supervisory Technology (SupTech) portfolio, pushing the bounds of our thinking on how risk based supervision can help solve seemingly intractable challenges surrounding prudential issues and consumer protection supervision in DFS. Key areas of focus will include: Risk-based supervision of DFS to fulfill both prudential and market conduct (consumer protection, Anti-Money Laundering/Counter-Terrorist Financing (AML/CFT) and competition) supervisory mandates. Supervision aspects of consumer protection, including fraud, over indebtedness, grievance redressal, disclosure, informed consent for data sharing, fair treatment, product suitability among other topics. Technology tools and data systems applied to risk-based supervisory approaches for both prudential and market conduct mandates. Ways in which supervisory approaches and technology tools can help supervisors align the goal of preventing money laundering and financing of terrorism with financial inclusion goals. Supervisory approaches and techniques to advance competition mandates in the context of emerging regulatory frameworks on data sharing (e.g. open finance), instant payment, among others. Technology capacity building, skills development and organizational culture nurturing for financial supervisors in LMIC - particularly in Africa and Asia. Potential impact of international standards and best practices promoted via international forum such as standard-setting bodies, on the ability of LMIC supervisors to balance financial inclusion with other mandates, via risk-based supervisory approaches.
