Location:<\/strong> International (distributed, hybrid)
Term:<\/strong> 3 Years
Time commitment:<\/strong> ~18\u201332 hours per month (build-year cadence; surge periods around quarterly proof cycles, releases, and escalations)
Apply here:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Context and Purpose<\/h4>\n

In financial services, credibility is produced by disciplined throughput: decision-ready dockets, clear approvals, complete records, consistent disclosure, and reliable correction mechanics. Governance fails when integration is weak\u2014when agendas drift, standards conflict, artifacts are inconsistent across jurisdictions, and \u201calmost-ready\u201d outputs leak into partner processes.<\/p>\n

The Working Group Chair (Integration Lead) is the engine room of GRA\u2019s finance-facing governance. The role converts priorities into an executable cadence and ensures cross-committee work produces audit-ready, diligence-usable, correctionable outputs<\/strong> that map to real financial services workflows\u2014without drifting into regulated execution. The Integration Lead runs the governance production line from intake \u2192 review \u2192 decision \u2192 publication\/distribution \u2192 corrections, coordinating chairs and control functions to maintain speed with integrity.<\/p>\n

This is governance\u2014not execution. The role does not underwrite, place, broker, custody, operate markets, provide regulated advice, steer procurement, select vendors, or imply endorsement.<\/p>\n

Key Responsibilities<\/h4>\n
    \n
  • Own the end-to-end governance cadence for finance-facing work: weekly operating rhythm, monthly consolidation, quarterly proof-cycle production, and release calendars.<\/li>\n
  • Translate leadership priorities into sequenced workplans with named owners, clocks, dependencies, and closure criteria.<\/li>\n
  • Run the integration forum that coordinates committee leads, control officers, and chairs into one coherent delivery line.<\/li>\n
  • Maintain the single authoritative docket pipeline across standards, diligence templates, term-sheet libraries, monitoring packs, disclosure rules, and escalation items.<\/li>\n
  • Ensure each docket is decision-ready before it reaches chair sessions: options, annex completeness, risk\/assumption disclosures, and acceptance criteria.<\/li>\n
  • Drive closure discipline: decisions must be explicit, assigned, time-bound, and recorded; unresolved items must be re-scoped or escalated\u2014not left to drift.<\/li>\n
  • Enforce quality gates required for finance usability and auditability:\n
      \n
    • validity-by-record (authority, quorum, recusals, rationale, outcomes, distribution completion)<\/li>\n
    • conflicts and neutrality controls (no preferential access; competition-safe convening)<\/li>\n
    • disclosure posture (public-safe claims; bounded statements; market-sensitivity discipline)<\/li>\n
    • corrections and supersession traceability (no silent edits; version discipline)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
    • Integrate cross-domain requirements into coherent outputs: enforceability, diligence mapping, monitoring\/verification, operational feasibility, sovereign constraints, safeguards, and communications integrity.<\/li>\n
    • Surface conflicts early (scope, evidence sufficiency, disclosure risk, neutrality risk, handling constraints, timing risk) and route them through the correct escalation path with clocks and outcomes.<\/li>\n
    • Prevent \u201cshadow governance\u201d by ensuring all dependencies and decisions run through the recorded system, with equal access and transparent process.<\/li>\n
    • Maintain performance dashboards for cadence, backlog, cycle time, corrections, and quality defects; run quarterly retrospectives and drive continuous improvement of templates, playbooks, and work instructions.<\/li>\n
    • Support seat readiness by identifying review capacity gaps, dependency bottlenecks, and single points of failure; coordinate with Secretariat, Competence, and Membership leads to close gaps.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Compensation, Remuneration, and Expenses<\/h4>\n

      This role is designed to be trust-maximizing and capture-resistant in a financial services context.<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Governance authority is not paid.<\/strong> Compensation is never linked to votes, approvals, recognition decisions, enforcement actions, standards outcomes, market outcomes, or influence. No success fees. No pay-to-approve.<\/li>\n
      • Operational workload may be compensated (where permitted).<\/strong> Because this role can carry material build-year operational workload (integration cadence, docket throughput, production rhythm, dashboards), compensation may be provided only for clearly defined operational services\u2014scoped, time-bounded, deliverable-based, independently approved, and auditable, with conflicts safeguards.<\/li>\n
      • Expenses may be reimbursed.<\/strong> Reasonable, documented, pre-approved out-of-pocket expenses required for the role may be reimbursed in accordance with policy and handling requirements.<\/li>\n
      • Standing and independence apply.<\/strong> Continued service depends on remaining in good standing, meeting disclosure obligations, and maintaining independence consistent with integrity and conduct requirements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Opportunities for Leaders to Join<\/h4>\n
          \n
        • Build the integration spine that turns finance-facing governance into a real operating rail with measurable throughput and quality.<\/li>\n
        • Shape how standards, diligence artifacts, and monitoring packs become consistent, reusable infrastructure across jurisdictions and institutions.<\/li>\n
        • Operate at the intersection of auditability, disclosure, neutrality, corrections, and servicing-clock discipline\u2014designed for scrutiny by boards, regulators, and audit committees.<\/li>\n
        • Strong performance positions leaders for broader chairing responsibilities and board consideration (without implying entitlement).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Leaders Profile<\/h4>\n

          We are seeking senior leaders (typically 10\u201315+ years) with credibility across one or more of:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • Governance operations, portfolio\/program management, or chief-of-staff functions in financial services, standards bodies, or development finance.<\/li>\n
          • Documentation-heavy assurance environments: audit, compliance, risk governance, or regulated reporting and disclosure programs.<\/li>\n
          • Building reusable diligence, monitoring, and reporting frameworks that must work across institutions and jurisdictions.<\/li>\n
          • Multi-stakeholder facilitation requiring neutrality, confidentiality, and disciplined recordkeeping.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Capabilities and Mindset<\/h4>\n
              \n
            • Integration-first: can synthesize competing requirements into coherent, testable outputs.<\/li>\n
            • Cadence discipline: builds operating rhythms people actually follow; does not tolerate drift.<\/li>\n
            • Closure-driven: converts ambiguity into decision paths with owners, clocks, and acceptance criteria.<\/li>\n
            • Quality-gate mindset: treats records, disclosure, neutrality, handling, and corrections as non-negotiable.<\/li>\n
            • Neutral operator: avoids execution behavior, dealmaking, preferential access, and implied endorsement.<\/li>\n
            • Exceptional writing: produces clean briefs, decision-ready options, and audit-grade documentation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Eligibility, Membership, and Independence<\/h4>\n
                \n
              • Holds a primary full-time role outside the council seat and can sustain the expected cadence and surge periods.<\/li>\n
              • Willing to fully disclose relevant interests and abide by conflict-of-interest, recusal, and conduct requirements.<\/li>\n
              • Not placed in a situation where service creates unmanageable conflicts, compromises neutrality, or creates regulated-activity ambiguity.<\/li>\n
              • Accepts strict confidentiality, handling discipline, and communications integrity expectations.<\/li>\n
              • Commits to remain in good standing (participation, disclosures, and applicable contribution obligations).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1029372,"template":"","meta":{"_promoted":"","_job_location":"","_application":"public@therisk.global","_filled":0,"_featured":1,"_remote_position":1,"_job_salary":"","_job_salary_currency":"","_job_salary_unit":"","_hours":"","_rate_min":"","_rate_max":"","_salary_min":"","_salary_max":"","_apply_link":"","_job_cover_image":"","_company_manager_id":"1029368"},"job-categories":[244,167],"job-types":[253],"job_listing_tag":[],"job_listing_career_level":[245,98],"job_listing_experience":[33],"job_listing_qualification":[43,45,58,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-1029651","1":"job_listing","2":"type-job_listing","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","5":"hentry","6":"job_listing_category-financial-services","7":"job_listing_category-governance","8":"job_listing_type-leadership","9":"job_listing_career_level-leader","10":"job_listing_career_level-senior","11":"job_listing_experience-10-years","12":"job_listing_qualification-associate-degree","13":"job_listing_qualification-bachelor-degree","14":"job_listing_qualification-doctorate-degree","15":"job_listing_qualification-master-degree","17":"job-type-leadership","18":"job_position_featured"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/therisk.global\/work\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job-listings\/1029651","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/therisk.global\/work\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job-listings"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/therisk.global\/work\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/job_listing"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/therisk.global\/work\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/therisk.global\/work\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job-listings\/1029651\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/therisk.global\/work\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1029372"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/therisk.global\/work\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1029651"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"job_listing_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/therisk.global\/work\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job-categories?post=1029651"},{"taxonomy":"job_listing_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/therisk.global\/work\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job-types?post=1029651"},{"taxonomy":"job_listing_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/therisk.global\/work\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job_listing_tag?post=1029651"},{"taxonomy":"job_listing_career_level","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/therisk.global\/work\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job_listing_career_level?post=1029651"},{"taxonomy":"job_listing_experience","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/therisk.global\/work\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job_listing_experience?post=1029651"},{"taxonomy":"job_listing_qualification","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/therisk.global\/work\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job_listing_qualification?post=1029651"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
