The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI) is hiring a Revenue Lead to oversee membership activation, strategic account management, and revenue channel development. This role is central to GCRI’s 100% member-led governance model, where all programs—policy, simulation, risk finance, foresight diplomacy—are owned, governed, and funded by members from across academia, public sector, private enterprise, media, and civil society (the Quintuple Helix). You will lead the onboarding, engagement, and long-term development of both individual and institutional members, converting them into active contributors, strategic leaders, and lifelong stewards of GCRI’s intergenerational public mission.

• Engage institutional members across governments, think tanks, startups, foundations, UN agencies, national networks
• Segment, prioritize, and pursue strategic membership campaigns by region, sector, or program track (e.g., DRR, AI, ESG, resilience corridors)

2. Account Management and Engagement Lifecycle

• Serve as the primary relationship manager for key members

3. Revenue Strategy and Membership Innovation

• Work with leadership to refine and deploy membership tiers, benefits, and bundled offerings across GRF, GRA, and GCRI
• Design sector- or region-specific offerings (e.g., Youth Councils, Ministry Accelerators, ESG Membership Labs)
• Align revenue goals with non-extractive, public-interest value delivery—ensuring that every membership reinforces GCRI’s mission

4. Governance-Driven Sales

• Educate and guide members through governance pathways
• Encourage institutional members to assume formal governance roles
• Promote long-term stewardship of Nexus Platforms by cultivating committed members, not passive donors

5. Data, Reporting, and Performance Analytics

• Provide regular reporting and forecasting aligned with regional and programmatic growth goals
• Co-author performance reviews with GCRI leadership to assess opportunities for scaling or formal appointment

• 100% governed by their members through clause-based participatory governance
• Non-extractive and non-equity-funded, prioritizing public foresight, resilience, and justice
• Simulation-certified, meaning every policy, product, and financial pathway is traceable and tested
• Sovereign-safe, operating independently of government or corporate control while aligning with multilateral standards
