Context and Purpose<\/h4>\n

In a standards-and-recognition institution, public communication is not marketing\u2014it is part of the integrity system. The most common failure mode is meaning drift: recognition gets treated as endorsement, participation gets marketed as approval, and standards get used as \u201cproof\u201d beyond their scope. Misrepresentation breaks trust, creates legal exposure, and can harm communities and markets through misinformation.<\/p>\n

The Global Risks Forum (GRF) stewards standards, assurance rules, and recognition states. Its legitimacy depends on communications integrity: claims must be bounded, consistent, and traceable to the official record; public summaries must match what was actually decided; and enforcement must exist when badges or claims are misused.<\/p>\n

The Communications Integrity Lead ensures GRF\u2019s outward-facing posture preserves meaning: claims-use policy, disclaimers, release discipline, public-safe summaries, and response protocols for misinformation and badge misuse\u2014without turning GRF into a media operator or political actor.<\/p>\n

This is governance\u2014not execution. The role does not run campaigns, sell sponsorships tied to recognition, lobby, provide regulated advice, or imply endorsement. It stewards communications rules and integrity controls.<\/p>\n

Key Responsibilities<\/h4>\n
    \n
  • Maintain claims and badge-use discipline: define what GRF recognition states and conformance claims mean\u2014and what they do not mean\u2014with mandatory disclaimer language and misuse prohibitions.<\/li>\n
  • Ensure all public communications are record-linked: statements trace to official register entries, correct versions, and effective dates.<\/li>\n
  • Produce and steward public-safe release packs for recognition cycles: summaries, scope boundaries, limitations, and correction notices.<\/li>\n
  • Prevent meaning drift: stop \u201crecognition laundering,\u201d implied approvals, or marketing that suggests endorsement, underwriting, procurement approval, or regulatory clearance.<\/li>\n
  • Operate misinformation and misrepresentation response: intake, triage, correction statements, takedown\/escalation routing, and enforcement ladder coordination.<\/li>\n
  • Maintain correction and supersession communications discipline: when facts change or errors are found, publish corrections clearly and traceably.<\/li>\n
  • Coordinate with Records & Register, Legal & Instruments, and COI\/Ethics functions to ensure claims rules are enforceable and consistently applied.<\/li>\n
  • Coordinate with Security & Handling and Safeguards functions to ensure publication is public-safe and does not expose vulnerabilities, protected participants, or sensitive localities.<\/li>\n
  • Maintain spokesperson discipline and \u201cwho may say what\u201d rules for chairs and officers; prevent side-channel statements that imply GRF outcomes before they are recorded.<\/li>\n
  • Design neutral communications posture: whole-of-society diplomatic tone, non-partisan framing, and avoidance of geopolitical alignment signaling.<\/li>\n
  • Maintain media interaction protocols: how to answer inquiries, how to refuse safely, how to avoid disclosing restricted material, and how to route sensitive questions.<\/li>\n
  • Support membership growth through integrity-safe communications: clear value proposition and expectations without overselling recognition or implying special access.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Compensation, Remuneration, and Expenses<\/h4>\n
      \n
    • Governance authority is not paid.<\/strong> Compensation is never linked to recognition outcomes, dispute results, enforcement actions, standards outcomes, market outcomes, or influence.<\/li>\n
    • Operational workload may be compensated (where permitted).<\/strong> If build-year operational work is required (claims policy drafting, release pack production, response playbooks), any compensation must be scoped, deliverable-based, independently approved, auditable, and never linked to recognition outcomes or enforcement decisions.<\/li>\n
    • Expenses may be reimbursed<\/strong> where documented, pre-approved, and policy-compliant.<\/li>\n
    • Continued service depends on remaining in good standing and meeting disclosure and integrity obligations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Opportunities for Leaders to Join<\/h4>\n
        \n
      • Protect the meaning of standards and recognition at global scale\u2014preventing the reputational failure modes that collapse trust.<\/li>\n
      • Build a correction-positive communications system where truth and scope boundaries are enforced under scrutiny.<\/li>\n
      • Lead a neutrality-safe public posture that supports adoption without politicization or marketing drift.<\/li>\n
      • Strong performance positions leaders for senior stewardship roles and board consideration (without implying entitlement).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Leaders Profile<\/h4>\n

        We are seeking senior leaders (typically 12\u201320+ years) with credibility across one or more of:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Integrity communications, policy communications, or claims governance in regulated or high-scrutiny environments.<\/li>\n
        • Standards bodies, certification systems, assurance frameworks, or audit-linked reporting.<\/li>\n
        • Media relations under sensitive constraints (handling discipline, legal risk, reputational risk).<\/li>\n
        • Misinformation response, corrections policy, and public disclosure governance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Capabilities and Mindset<\/h4>\n
            \n
          • Claims discipline: precise about scope, limitations, and what can be safely said.<\/li>\n
          • Neutral tone: whole-of-society diplomatic posture without political signaling.<\/li>\n
          • Correction-positive: publishes corrections clearly, quickly, and traceably.<\/li>\n
          • High discretion: strong handling maturity and refusal skills.<\/li>\n
          • Strong writing: produces public-safe summaries that match the official record.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Eligibility, Membership, and Independence<\/h4>\n
              \n
            • Holds a primary role outside the officer seat (unless otherwise permitted) and can sustain the expected cadence.<\/li>\n
            • Willing to fully disclose relevant interests and comply with conflict-of-interest and recusal requirements.<\/li>\n
            • Not placed in a situation where service creates unmanageable conflicts or compromises neutrality.<\/li>\n
            • Accepts 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":1029373,"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":"1029369"},"job-categories":[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-1029756","1":"job_listing","2":"type-job_listing","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","5":"hentry","6":"job_listing_category-governance","7":"job_listing_type-leadership","8":"job_listing_career_level-leader","9":"job_listing_career_level-senior","10":"job_listing_experience-10-years","11":"job_listing_qualification-associate-degree","12":"job_listing_qualification-bachelor-degree","13":"job_listing_qualification-doctorate-degree","14":"job_listing_qualification-master-degree","16":"job-type-leadership","17":"job_position_featured"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/therisk.global\/work\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job-listings\/1029756","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\/1029756\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/therisk.global\/work\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1029373"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/therisk.global\/work\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1029756"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"job_listing_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/therisk.global\/work\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job-categories?post=1029756"},{"taxonomy":"job_listing_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/therisk.global\/work\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job-types?post=1029756"},{"taxonomy":"job_listing_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/therisk.global\/work\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job_listing_tag?post=1029756"},{"taxonomy":"job_listing_career_level","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/therisk.global\/work\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job_listing_career_level?post=1029756"},{"taxonomy":"job_listing_experience","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/therisk.global\/work\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job_listing_experience?post=1029756"},{"taxonomy":"job_listing_qualification","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/therisk.global\/work\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job_listing_qualification?post=1029756"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
