\n

Context and Purpose<\/h3>\n

Risk governance often fails not because tools are unavailable, but because adoption is slow, legally unclear, and operationally inconsistent. Policies and procedures vary across jurisdictions; procurement systems reward bespoke solutions; and \u201cstandards\u201d are frequently misread as regulation, endorsement, or preferred vendor guidance\u2014creating political friction and implementation risk.<\/p>\n

The Global Risks Forum (GRF) is a whole-of-society standards-and-legitimacy forum within the Nexus governance system. GRF\u2019s Policy Platform is the frontier stage for lawful adoption and policy usability<\/strong>: translating assurance language into procurement-neutral, jurisdiction-aware guidance; clarifying reliance boundaries; building cross-jurisdiction literacy; and producing open templates that accelerate national de-risking readiness\u2014without lobbying, partisan signaling, or execution drift.<\/p>\n

The Policy Platform Lead \/ Host is accountable for end-to-end programming and growth of the Policy Platform: setting vision, curating and hosting convenings, building institutional partnerships, producing open policy adoption assets, and expanding participation\u2014while preserving strict neutrality and a strict non-execution boundary (no lobbying, no deal-making, no procurement steering, no implied endorsements).<\/p>\n

\n

Key Responsibilities<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Set the platform\u2019s multi-year vision and annual program as a frontier global stage for lawful, procurement-neutral adoption of de-risking standards and readiness rails.<\/li>\n
  • Define signature annual programming (flagship forum + quarterly adoption clinics) aligned to GRF standards and recognition timelines.<\/li>\n
  • Establish platform norms: neutrality, non-partisan posture, handling discipline, and public-safe publication boundaries.<\/li>\n
  • Curate and host policy forums, regulator roundtables, adoption clinics, legislative briefings (where appropriate), and cross-jurisdiction learning sessions.<\/li>\n
  • Design \u201cwhole-of-society\u201d formats that include public authorities, research, operators, finance, civil society\/media, and community leadership without dominance by any bloc.<\/li>\n
  • Ensure convenings produce decision-ready outputs: adoption guidance, templates, interpretive notes, and public-safe summaries.<\/li>\n
  • Produce an \u201copen policy adoption stack\u201d for national and sub-national de-risking readiness, including:\n
      \n
    • procurement-neutral model language and template clauses<\/li>\n
    • guidance on lawful reliance, disclosure boundaries, and claims discipline<\/li>\n
    • public-safe playbooks for institutional adoption of GRF standards and recognition states<\/li>\n
    • cross-jurisdiction comparability templates (definitions, reporting, and version references)<\/li>\n
    • correction and supersession guidance for policy documents referencing GRF artifacts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
    • Ensure outputs are record-valid, versioned, and correctionable; prohibit silent edits and ambiguous \u201cguidance drift.\u201d<\/li>\n
    • Build and manage partnerships with ministries, regulators, standards bodies, intergovernmental networks (where applicable), professional associations, and legal\/policy institutes\u2014governance-only and non-exclusive.<\/li>\n
    • Maintain neutrality-safe engagement rules: equal access, transparent posture, and avoidance of preferential influence channels.<\/li>\n
    • Recruit and steward contributor pools (policy drafters, reviewers, public authority practitioners) with fit-and-proper and handling readiness.<\/li>\n
    • Enforce strict non-lobbying, non-partisan posture: the platform supports lawful adoption guidance but does not campaign, endorse, or advocate for political outcomes.<\/li>\n
    • Enforce procurement neutrality: platform outputs must not steer vendor selection, implementation partners, or procurement outcomes.<\/li>\n
    • Maintain COI\/recusal discipline in policy drafting and convenings; prevent sponsor or bloc dominance and \u201cpay-to-influence\u201d perceptions.<\/li>\n
    • Maintain handling discipline: ensure sensitive policy discussions and jurisdiction-specific constraints are treated with appropriate confidentiality.<\/li>\n
    • Provide structured platform inputs into GRF instruments: ambiguity resolution needs, adoption friction, dispute learnings, and improvements to claims rules and interpretive guidance.<\/li>\n
    • Coordinate with Legal & Instruments, Communications Integrity, Records\/Register, and Dispute functions to ensure policy outputs are defensible and publication-safe.<\/li>\n
    • Sponsor quarterly learning loops: adoption barriers, misinterpretations, and updates needed to improve global usability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n

      Compensation, Remuneration, and Expenses<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • Governance authority is not paid.<\/strong> No compensation is linked to recognition outcomes, enforcement actions, dispute results, political outcomes, procurement outcomes, funding, or influence. No success fees.<\/li>\n
      • Operational workload may be compensated (where permitted).<\/strong> Platform programming and production may be compensated only as time-bounded, deliverable-based operational services, independently approved, auditable, and never tied to substantive governance outcomes.<\/li>\n
      • Expenses may be reimbursed<\/strong> if documented, pre-approved, and policy-compliant.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n

        Opportunities for Leaders to Join<\/h3>\n
          \n
        • Build and host a frontier global stage for lawful, procurement-neutral adoption of de-risking standards and readiness systems.<\/li>\n
        • Publish open templates and adoption playbooks that materially compress national de-risking readiness timelines.<\/li>\n
        • Convene cross-jurisdiction policy leaders in a neutral whole-of-society forum designed to withstand scrutiny.<\/li>\n
        • Reduce fragmentation by creating consistent policy language, reliance boundaries, and correction\/supersession discipline.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          \n

          Leaders Profile<\/h3>\n

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

            \n
          • public policy leadership (risk, resilience, science\/technology governance, data governance, critical infrastructure)<\/li>\n
          • regulatory or legislative engagement in non-partisan contexts<\/li>\n
          • standards adoption, administrative governance, and procurement-neutral policy design<\/li>\n
          • cross-jurisdiction policy coordination and institutional reform programs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
            \n

            Capabilities and Mindset<\/h3>\n
              \n
            • Neutral policy diplomacy: can convene public authorities without lobbying or partisan signaling.<\/li>\n
            • Boundary clarity: prevents standards from being misread as regulation or endorsement.<\/li>\n
            • Strong drafting: produces templates and guidance that survive scrutiny.<\/li>\n
            • Integrity-first: resists capture, enforces COI discipline, and maintains safe publication posture.<\/li>\n
            • Output-driven: convenings produce reusable adoption assets, not only dialogue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
              \n

              Eligibility, Membership, and Independence<\/h3>\n
                \n
