Financial Services
Responsibilities
Design and chair a scalable committee structure aligned to the council mandate (e.g., sector committees for energy/water/health/food/finance; or methods and publication committees)
Recruit, seat, and retain high-integrity members; ensure seat completion, credible diversity of viewpoints, and balanced representation across regions and risk contexts
Enforce member-in-good-standing rules: fit-and-proper standing, disclosures, participation expectations, and influence caps
Run monthly virtual council meetings focused on profile review: priorities, accuracy, and publishability decisions
Prepare the council for quarterly governance sessions: decisions ready, disputes pre-processed, corrections logged, and distribution posture clear
Lead council contributions into the annual General Assembly (Switzerland), where the federation finalizes major outputs, mutual recognition actions, and the next-year program
Oversee the council’s role in reviewing and improving the national portfolio readiness content published each quarter
Ensure every output is decision-ready: clear scope, what can be claimed, what evidence supports it, what limits apply, what must remain protected, and how corrections work
Ensure corrections are treated as institutional strength: versioned updates, redistribution discipline, and closure records—no silent revisions
A functioning council and committee system with clear mandates, membership rosters, and output ownership
Monthly profile-review decisions that reliably close: approve/revise/defer/elevate—documented with rationale
Quarterly Nexus Reports contributions delivered on schedule with high publishability quality and low dispute drag
Measurable correction discipline: corrections issued promptly, redistributed reliably, and closed with accountability records
Membership growth and seat completion as core KPIs (without compromising independence or integrity)
High trust posture: zero procurement implications, zero endorsement ambiguity, disciplined permitted-claims posture

Risk governance, audit, assurance, standards, due process, or institutional integrity systems
Technology and data governance leadership (AI/model governance, cyber/OT resilience, evidence discipline)
High-stakes convening under scrutiny (confidentiality, neutrality, disciplined documentation)
Builder mentality: comfortable designing committee systems, routines, templates, and decision discipline—not just chairing meetings
Integrity-first: uncompromising on non-execution boundaries, neutrality, and anti-capture safeguards
Calm under pressure: able to drive closure across divergent interests without compromising fairness
