Job description
Doing Good Recruitment is pleased to be partnering with Shell Foundation on the appointment of a part-time Governance, Risk and Assurance (GRA) Adviser.
We are seeking an exceptional individual to provide strategic, enterprise-level GRA support across the organisation. The position is offered on a permanent, three-day-per-week basis, with one day in the office (ideally Wednesday).
About Us
Since our inception 25 years ago, Shell Foundation has worked to alleviate poverty across Africa and Asia. We have played a critical role in advancing the energy access sector and are now focused on scaling its impact.
Our objective is to enable tens of millions of people to raise their incomes while lowering emissions by 2032. We achieve this by fostering innovation and scaling technologies that increase incomes.
The Role
This is a broad, hands-on role that plays a key part in ensuring Shell Foundation operates in a well-governed, risk-aware, and accountable way. You will work closely with the GRA Manager and colleagues across the organisation to coordinate governance processes, contribute to enterprise risk management activities, and support assurance and compliance frameworks.
Your work will span board and committee coordination, enterprise risk activities, assurance planning, and policy and compliance processes—helping to ensure that information is accurate, processes run smoothly, and priorities are clearly tracked and delivered.
This role is well suited to someone who operates comfortably at a strategic level, works across multiple areas, and thrives on collaborating with stakeholders to provide advice while bringing structure and clarity to complex challenges.
About You
The successful candidate will be a highly organised and detail-oriented professional with a track record in governance, risk control, and assurance at the enterprise level. You will bring a methodical approach to your work, with the ability to manage multiple processes and stakeholders effectively.
You will be confident working with a range of stakeholders, able to communicate clearly, and comfortable exercising judgement when supporting risk and assurance activities. Essential to this is the ability to build strong relationships that enhance collaboration and successful GRA outcomes.
The ideal candidate will have gained experience in ESG, financial, professional, or legal services, or a similar environment that demonstrates holistic portfolio oversight and enterprise risk management.
Familiarity with governance requirements in the charity or not-for-profit sector would be beneficial but is not essential.
