Board Director

Arc is entering a growth and change phase where its Boards and broader leadership network should evolve to support:

• philanthropic relationships
• resonance of Arc’s work across its priority stakeholder groups
• strategic broadening and deepening of Arc’s scope of work whilst maintaining connection with the core offering
• development of financial products as proof points and commercialization
• strong governance across entity jurisdictions

The goal is to expand the boards strategically while increasing diversity, capacity, and institutional credibility.

Our aim is to recruit individuals who have extensive knowledge and experience in the areas we are working in, namely finance, as well as philanthropy, climate science and data/tech and the intersections between them. In addition, we also welcome individuals who have knowledge and experience in organisational development – particularly for startups, best practise governance and foundational legal and compliance and business acumen.

Board members will:

• Act at all times with honour and integrity and uphold the values of Arc
• Provide strategic leadership to Arc in collaboration with the Executive Director
• Provide input into; review and approve Arc’s strategic plans consistent with the vision and agree business plans, including operating budgets
• Promote and connect Arc to potential and existing funders, stakeholders, and partners
• Ensure that Arc is compliant with all legal, financial, reporting, and other requirements through a framework of policies and reporting arrangements
• Consider organizational risks and take action or delegate as necessary to mitigate those risks
• Delegate decisions to CE and provide approvals as per the Delegation of Authority
• Represent Arc at public speaking engagements and events
• Oversight of arrangements for the appointment, supervision, support, appraisal and remuneration of the Executive Director.
