Swedfund is Sweden’s Development Finance Institution with the mission to reduce poverty through sustainable investments in developing countries. As we continue to grow, we are looking for an additional Business Integrity Manager to strengthen our ability to act with the highest standards of business ethics in complex international contexts.

What we offer:

At Swedfund you will be part of a mission driven organization that creates sustainable development through investments. We offer a dynamic, international work environment where you will have the opportunity to contribute directly to our impact and safeguard Swedfund’s integrity, reputation, and long-term business potential.

About the role:

As Business Integrity Manager you will play a central role in identifying, analysing, and managing business integrity-related risks across Swedfund’s investment operations. You will be part of our Business Integrity function, which sits within the ESG & Impact team, and work closely with internal investment professionals as well as externally with contacts internationally.

Your responsibilities will include conducting integrity risk assessments of counterparties, evaluating their reputation as well as their internal systems (e.g., policies, procedures, trainings), identifying gaps as well as supporting improvements. You will also support in the development of processes and tools internally for the Business Integrity function, and contribute to enhanced risk awareness across the organization.

The role will be located in Stockholm. You will be reporting to the Head of Business Integrity.

Your main responsibilities will include:

• Performing business integrity due diligence on new investment opportunities and coordinating external consultants for deep-dive assessments
• Using digital search tools and AI solutions, identifying and assessing risks related to corruption, financial crime, reputational issues, and ethical misconduct

• Contributing to the ongoing development of Swedfund’s business integrity processes and tools
• Supporting investment teams throughout the investment cycle with clear and actionable risk insights
• Communicating findings and recommendations to internal decision-makers in a clear and concise manner.

Who we are looking for:

We are looking for a candidate with hands-on experience in integrity due diligence or investigative work, preferably in an international context. You are analytical, independent, and able to manage complex information, but also collaborative and supportive in your approach.

You are passionate about ethics and integrity, and motivated by the opportunity to contribute to sustainable development in high risk markets.

We believe you have:

• Proven experience in integrity due diligence or other investigative roles
• Academic background in law, political science, journalism, security studies, economics or other relevant field
