Full-time
Remote
Director/ExecutiveThe Global Risks Alliance (GRA) is establishing itself as a pioneering business league for the financial services industry focused on managing exponential risks. As a Non-Executive Council Member, you will collaborate with senior decision-makers to shape strategies for resilience and development finance, directly contributing to the governance and operational frameworks that guide capital movement under stress.
Financial Services
Responsibilities
Set lane priorities across banking, insurance/(re)insurance, capital markets, market infrastructure, and infrastructure finance—anchored to systemic transmission channels (liquidity, credit, operational resilience, contagion, correlated tail risk)
Deliver reusable institutional backbone components: 1. supervisory-grade controls and assurance patterns, 2. documentation modules (covenants, triggers, reporting/telemetry specs), 3. operating playbooks for crisis-mode execution and recovery, and 4. implementation pathways that institutions can deploy without regulatory drift
Ensure outputs are board-usable and examiner-operable —reducing diligence friction, increasing comparability, tightening auditability, and strengthening defensibility across jurisdictions
Enforce conflicts discipline, recusal norms, and anti-capture safeguards; maintain an engagement posture suitable for systemically important institutions
Bring senior sponsorship and the ability to activate pilots, technical resources, and partner pathways to move from design to adoption
Serve on at least one standing committee and own one material workstream with measurable milestones
Model governance patterns for high-impact decisioning, tool-use controls, human-in-the-loop integrity, monitoring, incident clocks, and kill-switch discipline suitable for regulated environments
Integrity controls to reduce market-moving disinformation risk, governance patterns for contested narratives, and resilience of decision pipelines under manipulation
Operational resilience patterns for critical dependencies, third-party concentration, cross-border incident coordination, and recovery with audit-grade evidence
Corridor-level intelligence-to-action pathways that improve comparability, reduce blind-spot exposure, and support reliable financing decisions under sanctions/controls constraints
Finance-executable readiness programming across adaptation, critical infrastructure continuity, and rapid lawful disbursement architectures
