GLOBAL GOVERNANCE & STANDARDS MANAGER
Interim Assignment | Outside IR35 | Remote with Occasional International Travel
Help shape governance across a global organisation.
We're delighted to be partnering exclusively with a large international B2C, multi-site organisation on a newly created interim appointment forming part of a significant global governance transformation programme.
Operating across multiple countries, the organisation is developing a consistent global governance framework and is seeking an experienced Governance & Standards professional to lead the design and implementation of global standards, policies and governance processes.
Given the international scope of this assignment, we're particularly interested in speaking with candidates who have successfully designed and implemented governance frameworks across multiple countries and jurisdictions within large, complex organisations.
Working closely with senior stakeholders across multiple regions, you'll develop global policies, standards, operating procedures and governance frameworks that support consistency, accountability and operational excellence while recognising regional requirements and cultural differences.

Sector experience is less important than the ability to deliver governance transformation across an international organisation. Safeguarding experience would be advantageous but is not essential.
