As the institutional representative of over 45 million businesses in more than 170 countries, the International Chamber of Commerce operates with a core mission to “make business work for everyone, every day, everywhere”. We act as the primary voice of the real economy in a range of intergovernmental organisations – from the World Trade Organization to the UN climate process – championing the needs of local business in global decision making.
The convening power of our global network enables us to set rules and standards that facilitate over $17 trillion dollars in trade each year – as well as providing tailored products and digital services that directly address the real challenges faced by businesses operating internationally. We also provide the world's premier private global dispute resolution services, leveraging ICC's unique independence, integrity, and expertise.
role
We are looking for a Lead – Standards, Trust and Technology to join ICC’s Digital Standards Initiative (DSI). You will lead the development and delivery of strategies and programmes to drive interoperability of digital standards and trust at scale for the digital trade ecosystem.
The diverse audiences that we seek to engage and inspire include corporates, industry associations, technology solution providers, governments and inter-government organisations.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Strategy development. Identify key roadblocks to interoperability of data standards and trust mechanisms, including the role of digital identity, and develop strategies and solutions that will address these.
- Programme planning and design. Based on the above strategies, design and develop programmes, partnerships and initiatives to solve interoperability challenges at scale.
- Partnership and ecosystem development. Oversee relationships with key standards, technology, multilateral and industry groups dedicated to interoperability both for trade standards and digital trust mechanism.
- Technology tracking. Scan and keep abreast of technology developments, including regulatory issues, that could impact the pace and nature of digital transformation of trade. This could include AI, stable coins and tokens, web3 developments, and technologies of security among others.
- Risk management. Identify potential risks, including fragmentation and descent into “digital islands” and mitigate these as they may develop.
- Reporting and communication. Communicate and articulate all of the above to relevant audiences.
What we offer
- A dynamic, collaborative and caring work environment in an international setting
- Opportunities to continually learn
- The chance to make a meaningful impact
- Partial work from home opportunities
Ready to join us?
RequirementsDo not hesitate to apply if you:
- Have 8-12 years of work experience and ideally a honours degree;
- Are articulate and persuasive as a communicator;
- Are fluent in English both in writing and orally (additional languages and work experience outside Asia would be good);
- Have work experience in covering technologies, data standards, interoperability in trade or trade finance, either within industry (supply chain, financial institutions) or service providers (fintech, tradetech, regtech). Pure policy work, without technical proficiency in standards and trust is probably not sufficient.

:
Permanent contract, full time. Evening work may be required as global conference calls are frequently in the night-time in Asia (8pm-11pm local time), one or two times per week.
