Executive Director Odgers Berndtson

The Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) believes that better international governance and a stronger global economy can improve the lives of people everywhere. Led by experienced practitioners and distinguished academics, CIGI supports research, brings policy makers and scholars together, advances policy debate and generates ideas for multilateral governance improvements that influence policy and policy makers around the world. The need for innovative global governance solutions has never been more acute; and CIGI has never been more relevant, or had more potential, than it does now. It is within this exciting context that CIGI is searching for a new Executive Director.

As Executive Director, you will strengthen CIGI’s profile and brand as a global think tank focused on innovative governance and global economy policy solutions. You will work collaboratively with CIGI’s dedicated Board, staff, distinguished Fellows, and domestic and international policy makers, and will harness the great potential of CIGI’s academic and research partners. You will manage CIGI’s financial and human capital, and will foster a culture that encourages innovative thinking and rewards a fresh look at how improved global governance can shape a better future.

As the ideal candidate, you are an inspiring Canadian leader, a skilled manager and a champion for quality public policy research. You offer CIGI a bold and transformative vision and the energy it needs to achieve its mission. Your personal and professional credibility and domestic and global networks will serve you well as you fortify CIGI’s current partnerships and seek to develop new ones. You understand that CIGI’s great potential lies in its relationships with key academic partners and stakeholders in Canada and abroad. As CIGI’s face and voice in the domestic and international arenas, you will ensure the Centre continues to be a hub where the academic and policy worlds come together to improve global governance with the goal of generating measurable impact.
