Job Title: Global Platform Lead and Product Owner

Location: Global & Remote

Contract: Full-time

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 position for someone with deep experience bringing complex stakeholder ecosystems into alignment — and translating dialogue into concrete commitments, governance structures, and implementation pathways.

You will help architect the platform, build legitimacy with senior stakeholders, and ensure the initiative moves beyond convening into measurable action.

Key Responsibilities:

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, not duplication

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 lead to alignment and shared commitments
Navigate political sensitivities and competing mandates
Build trust across sectors and regions

Translate Dialogue into Action

Develop clear roadmaps, working groups, and implementation structures
Align funding, policy influence, and execution pathways
Ensure accountability mechanisms and measurable progress
Move stakeholders from conversation to coordinated delivery

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 & Experience (non-Negotiable):

10+ years of experience working at the intersection of governments, NGOs, and multilateral institutions or similar solid background in business
Demonstrated track record of designing and convening multi-stakeholder initiatives at national, regional, or global level
Experience aligning actors with different mandates, incentives, and political realities
Proven ability to translate high-level strategy into governance structures and implementation pathways
Experience working across multiple geographies

Candidates who have worked within or closely with multilateral institutions, development banks, government ministries, or large international NGOs are strongly encouraged to apply as well as those wishing to pivot from business to the non-profit sector.

Core Competencies

We are looking for someone who can work closely with developers to build our platform. You will be able to translate the vision into practical, workable technology solutions and guide dedicated developers in bringing it to life. The following competencies are second nature to you:

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, strategic communicator (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 who can also operationalize
Resilient, composed, and politically astute

What we offer:

A fully remote, international role with global exposure
Opportunity to architect and steward a major global platform
Direct engagement with senior public and multilateral leaders
A mission-driven, values-aligned team culture
Compensation aligned with senior non-profit leadership benchmarks in country of residence
