Johannesburg, South Africa CrossBoundary Full time

**About CrossBoundary (CB)**

Many high impact projects, including many operating in sub-Saharan Africa, have difficulty in aligning with the Development Finance Corporation’s (DFC) environmental and social requirements and lack the institutional capacity to implement newly adopted procedures in a timely manner consistent with the DFC’s expectations. As DFC works to increase investment in sub-Saharan Africa, it is prepared to assist promising investees to help them meet international environmental and social policies and ensure maximum development impact.

CrossBoundary (CB) is currently hiring an Environmental and Social (E&S) Specialist to assist prospective DFC investees. The Specialist will work with the DFC’s Office of Development Policy (ODP). The Specialist will evaluate existing processes and procedures for ODP’s impact, environmental, and social clearances and assist prospective and current DFC clients to create and implement policies and procedures that comply with DFC policy requirements. Further, the Specialist will coach DFC clients to assist them in building long-term capacity to enhance impact and reduce risk. Finally, they will monitor DFC clients for performance, conformance, and adherence to their newly adopted policies over time.
