About Us
One Family Foundation is an international social impact foundation working to tackle poverty, inequality, and exclusion through collaborative systems change.
We believe lasting transformation happens when governments, multilaterals, civil society, philanthropy, and communities align around shared purpose and coordinated action. Our role is to convene, align, and steward ecosystems that unlock collective impact across regions and sectors.
Guided by our principle of “Not I but We,” we design and steward platforms that bring together decision‑makers, innovators, and communities to co‑create structural solutions to complex global challenges.
Our initiatives span Africa, Asia, MENA, Latin America, and Europe, operating at the intersection of policy, innovation, community‑led development, and systems change.
Role Overview
We are seeking a senior leader to design, convene, and steward a major global platform that aligns governments, NGOs, multilaterals, philanthropy, and system actors around shared priorities and coordinated action.
This is a high‑trust, high‑responsibility leadership role for an individual with deep experience bringing complex stakeholder ecosystems into alignment and translating dialogue into concrete commitments, governance structures, and implementation pathways.
The role will architect the platform, build legitimacy with senior stakeholders, and ensure the initiative moves beyond convening into measurable action and impact.
Key Responsibilities
1. Architect and Steward a Global Platform
• Co‑design the vision, structure, and governance of a multi‑stakeholder global platform
• Develop clear value propositions for governments, multilaterals, NGOs, and philanthropic actors
• Define operating principles, participation models, and decision‑making frameworks
• Ensure the platform drives alignment rather than duplication
2. Convene and Align Senior Stakeholders
• Engage ministers, senior government officials, UN and multilateral representatives, foundation leaders, NGO executives, and community leaders
• Facilitate high‑level dialogues that result in alignment and shared commitments
• Navigate political sensitivities and competing mandates
• Build trust across sectors and regions
3. Translate Dialogue into Action
• Develop clear roadmaps, working groups, and implementation structures
• Align funding, policy influence, and execution pathways
• Establish accountability mechanisms and track measurable progress
• Move stakeholders from conversation to coordinated delivery
4. Represent the Platform Globally
• Act as a senior representative of One Family Foundation
• Build institutional partnerships and strategic alliances
• Represent the platform at international forums and convenings
Qualifications and Experience (Non‑Negotiable)
• Minimum 10 years’ experience working at the intersection of governments, NGOs, and multilateral institutions, or a comparable senior background in business
• Demonstrated track record of designing and convening multi‑stakeholder initiatives at national, regional, or global levels
• Experience aligning actors with diverse mandates, incentives, and political realities
• Proven ability to translate high‑level strategy into governance structures and implementation pathways
• Experience working across multiple geographies
Candidates with experience in multilateral institutions, development banks, government ministries, or large international NGOs are strongly encouraged to apply, as are candidates seeking to transition from senior business leadership into the non‑profit sector.
Core Competencies
This role works closely with developers to build and scale the platform. The successful candidate will translate vision into practical, workable technology solutions and guide technical teams in delivery.
Core competencies include:
• Exceptional stakeholder alignment and coalition‑building skills
• Political intelligence and diplomatic fluency
• Systems thinking and ecosystem design capability
• Ability to operate with ambiguity and complexity
• Strong facilitation skills at senior leadership level
• Clear and strategic communication (written and verbal)
• High integrity and trust‑building orientation
Personal Profile
• Deeply collaborative and mission‑driven
• Comfortable engaging senior leaders and ministers
• Able to balance humility with authority
• Strategic thinker with strong operational execution capability
• Resilient, composed, and politically astute
What We Offer
• Fully remote, international role with global exposure
• Opportunity to architect and steward a major global platform
• Direct engagement with senior public and multilateral leaders
• Mission‑driven, values‑aligned team culture
• Compensation aligned with senior non‑profit leadership benchmarks in the country of residence
