VPU Context:
The WBG Chief Risk Officer (CRO) Vice Presidency is the core unit responsible for Group-wide institutional risk oversight, including establishment and monitoring adherence to risk policies and guidelines and risk assessment and reporting to the Board and executive management. Its mission is to enable and support the WBG to achieve its goals in a financially sustainable manner. The VPU assists management with identifying and managing Group-wide cross-cutting risks, enhancing risk response decisions, reducing financial and operational surprises and losses, seizing opportunities and improving deployment of capital. The WBG CRO Vice Presidency includes the IBRD/IDA, IFC, and MIGA risk teams and covers a wide range of financial and non-financial risks.
Unit Context:
In the context of One WBG, the newly unified WBG Operational Risk Department (CROOR), housed within the WBG Chief Risk Officer (WBG CRO), provides independent second line of defense oversight, assessment, and management operational, and business continuity risks across the World Bank Group.
The Department strengthens institutional risk governance by ensuring that operational risk-taking activities are consistent with the WBG's risk appetite, internal control frameworks, and long-term operational resilience objectives. It provides rigorous, consistent oversight, ensuring operational, and business continuity risks are identified, measured, monitored, and managed effectively across all WBG entities.
The WBG Operational risk Department is responsible for risk oversight in the following areas:
* Operational Risk, which includes the identification, assessment, and monitoring of risks arising from people, processes, systems, or external events. The Department ensures that operational risk management frameworks, policies, and controls remain robust, consistent across WBG entities, and aligned with the institution's risk appetite. It provides independent oversight of significant incidents, root cause analyses, and remediation actions, while promoting a culture of accountability and continuous improvement in operational resilience.
* Business Continuity, which focuses on ensuring WBG's ability to maintain critical operations and services during and after disruptive events. This includes developing and testing business continuity strategies, recovery plans, and crisis management protocols across entities and geographies. The Department supports business units in identifying critical functions, process and applications, ensuring resource readiness, and coordinating institution-wide responses to operational disruptions.
* Scenario Planning, a cross-cutting function embedded within operational risk and business continuity management. It involves developing and testing forward-looking scenarios to assess the WBG's resilience to severe but plausible disruptions-such as cyber incidents, system outages, pandemics, or geopolitical crises. By integrating scenario analysis into risk assessment, preparedness, and response planning, it strengthens the institution's ability to anticipate vulnerabilities, maintain critical operations, and support timely decision-making under stress.
* Corporate Insurance, which provides strategic oversight and management of the WBG's corporate insurance programs to mitigate financial exposure from operational incidents, property damage, liability claims, or other unforeseen losses. The function ensures optimal coverage, cost efficiency, and alignment with the WBG's overall risk appetite, while coordinating with business units to assess exposure and manage claims.
* Data Privacy Office, which oversees the governance and protection of personal and sensitive data. The function ensures compliance with applicable privacy standards and internal policies, provides guidance on data-handling practices, and promotes a culture of responsible data stewardship. It collaborates closely with Information Security, Legal, and HR teams to ensure that privacy risks are identified, mitigated, and monitored effectively.
* Risk Technology and Data Infrastructure, which provides strategic oversight and implementation of technology platforms, data architecture, and analytical tools supporting operational risk, business continuity management and scenario planning across WBG entities. The function ensures that systems are integrated, reliable, and scalable-enabling consistent capture of operational incidents, control assessments, and emerging risks, as well as robust aggregation and reporting that support timely, risk-informed decision-making by Management and the Board.
By maintaining rigorous oversight, independent assessments, and consistent methodologies, the Department provides assurance to senior management, the Board, and external stakeholders that operational risks are effectively managed and that the WBG's operational integrity and resilience support its development mandate.

Department Context
The WBG Corporate Solutions Department (ITSCO) is focused on the digital transformation of essential corporate services to ensure WBG operations are seamless, resilient, and future‑ready. Uniting digitalization roadmaps, experience design, process optimization, application delivery, systems management, and technology modernization across some 170 products and services, the department links business ambition with operational excellence-from intuitive employee experiences and precision payroll to data-driven decision making, intelligent automation, and AI enablement. Operating from Washington, Chennai, Sofia, and Singapore in a global delivery model, the team seeks to combine disciplined strategic planning with focused roadmaps, agile product delivery, design‑forward innovation, digital engineering, automation, and AI to produce solutions that are engaging, impactful, and efficient. The goal is a unified, OneWBG corporate backbone-streamlined, connected, and adaptive-that empowers leaders, staff, partners, and shareholders with the processes, capabilities, and insights to advance the WBG's mission at scale.
The department comprises of four distinct but complementary units which work closely together to deliver on the department's mandate:
* Corporate Digital Acceleration unit: Accelerates digital transformation for corporate business functions through design thinking, digital innovation, rapid prototyping, reimagining processes, and AI enablement, e.g. AI-first work digitalization strategies.

Our purview includes high-impact corporate platforms such as the intranet, external websites, and tools supporting employee engagement, Board relations, recruitment, onboarding, talent development, learning, travel, leave, time recording, desk booking, and other solutions that touch the day-to-day work of the WBG's global workforce and millions of external users. These are mission-critical, high‑visibility products, where speed, intuitiveness, and agility are paramount. The six teams that fall under this unit include:
