Global Platform Lead & Product Owner NGO Job One Family Foundation

IT Jobs. One Family Foundation Jobs

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.
