• Functionally bilingual in business Japanese (e.g. N2)  and English (e.g. ~TOEPIC 750)
• You understand why we have UI best practices, and you don’t try to reinvent dropdowns with each new project. You want the interface to look as polished as possible, but you also value a good hard deadline.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to communicate persuasively across different audiences, to diverse people at varying levels of an organization. You design it, you pitch it. Nobody hides behind project managers here.
• An insatiable curiosity and a constant drive to do and be better. You download new apps and take screenshots. You try out new design tools. You attend industry events. You do stuff on the side. You love what you do, you want to be great at it, and you know there’s always something new to learn.

International Sustainability Standards Board—Call for a member from Asia–Oceania

Who we are

The IFRS Foundation is an independent, not-for-profit organisation created in 2001 to develop—in the public interest—high-quality, understandable, enforceable and globally accepted standards for financial reporting, and to promote and facilitate their adoption.

The Standards—IFRS^® Accounting Standards and IFRS^® Sustainability Disclosure Standards—are collectively referred to as IFRS® Standards. They are set by the Foundation’s two independent standard-setting boards, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), using a rigorous, inclusive and transparent due process. The IFRS Foundation Trustees oversee the IASB and the ISSB and are accountable to a Monitoring Board of public authorities.

The ISSB’s Standards provide a global baseline of sustainability-related disclosures designed to meet investors’ information needs.  Jurisdictions around the world—currently over 40, representing 60% of global GDP—are in the process of adopting or using the Standards.

The ISSB works with the IASB to ensure that a company’s sustainability-related financial disclosures work well with its financial statements, providing investors with transparent and decision-useful information about a company’s financial position, performance and sustainability-related risks and opportunities. While the ISSB’s Standards can be applied together with the IFRS Accounting Standards, they need not be applied together.

The ISSB comprises professionally and geographically diverse senior experts with experience in sustainability and its reporting, gained through backgrounds such as preparers, investors, standard-setters, regulators, auditors, sustainability specialists and academics.

The ISSB members and staff are based in the Foundation’s offices in Beijing, Frankfurt, London, Montreal, San Francisco and Tokyo.

Full details about the ISSB—as well as the Foundation’s structure, activities and key personnel—can be found here.

What are we looking for

The Foundation is seeking candidates from Asia–Oceania with substantial senior experience to fill a vacancy on the ISSB from 1 October 2026. This is a senior, high-profile appointment with global reach and impact. It offers an opportunity to contribute to the continued development and implementation of a global baseline for corporate sustainability disclosures, responding to investors’ demand for high-quality, consistent and decision-useful information about sustainability-related risks and opportunities.

The role is full time, although the Trustees will also consider candidates wishing to serve on a part-time basis, provided they can demonstrate and maintain the required level of independence and the ability to effectively contribute on a part-time basis.

The position is based in the Foundation’s Asia–Oceania office in Tokyo and involves frequent international travel to engage with fellow board members and staff, as well as a wide range of stakeholders.

Role responsibilities include:

• Working with the ISSB—engage with fellow ISSB members as part of a collegial standard-setting board, contributing to the development and maintenance of IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards.
• Working with the ISSB’s technical staff—liaise closely with members of the technical staff, providing advice, guidance and thought leadership, suggesting creative solutions to resolve issues and help projects progress on a range of complex sustainability disclosure issues.
• Engaging with external stakeholders—engage with a wide variety of external stakeholders to assist in the development of high-quality IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards that meet the financial markets’ needs and to promote IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards as the globally accepted standard for sustainability disclosures focused on meeting investors’ information needs.
• Working with the IASB—engage with the IASB to ensure the two boards develop Standards that are compatible and avoid inconsistencies and conflicts.

Role requirements

Membership of the ISSB requires:

• a strong understanding of, and interest in, sustainability disclosures and the broader global environment in which the ISSB operates (including financial, economic, business, environmental, social and other relevant societal matters);
• intellectual rigour and balanced judgement;
• extensive stakeholder engagement, demonstrating sensitivity and responsiveness, and influencing skills;
• independence; and
• a commitment to serving the public

Additional abilities required include:

• excellent strategic and analytical thinking skills combined with a pragmatic mindset and strong management skills;
• the ability to work as a team player with personal impact with a range of individuals from across the globe; and
• strong oral and written communication skills, with the ability to represent the ISSB effectively and to engage with the views of others.

Members of the ISSB are appointed for a term of up to five years. Consideration will be given to a second term. Second terms are usually for a further three years and a maximum of five.

Role Specification—Member of the International Sustainability Standards Board

Background: The Organisation and its mission

The IFRS Foundation is an independent, not-for-profit organisation created in 2001 to develop—in the public interest—high-quality, understandable, enforceable and globally accepted standards for financial reporting, and to promote and facilitate their adoption. The Standards—IFRS^® Accounting Standards and IFRS^® Sustainability Disclosure Standards—are collectively referred to as IFRS^® Standards.

IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards (ISSB Standards for short) are developed by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), which was created as part of the IFRS Foundation in 2021 to meet investor, company and international policymaker (including the G20, G7, IOSCO and Financial Stability Board) demand.

ISSB Standards provide a global baseline of sustainability-related disclosures designed to meet investors’ information needs. 40 jurisdictions around the world, representing 60% of global GDP, are in the process of adopting or using the Standards.

The ISSB works with the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) to ensure that a company’s sustainability-related financial disclosures work well with its financial statements, providing investors with transparent and decision-useful information about a company’s financial position, performance and sustainability-related risks and opportunities

Both boards follow a transparent, inclusive and rigorous due process. The IFRS Foundation Trustees oversee the ISSB and IASB and are accountable to a Monitoring Board of public authorities.

The ISSB currently comprise 12 members and will gradually transition to 10 members by the end of 2028. Members are appointed by the Trustees. The main qualifications for membership of the ISSB are professional competence and recent relevant professional experience. The Trustees select members of the ISSB, consistently with the ‘Criteria for ISSB members’ set out in the Annex to the IFRS Foundation Constitution, so that the ISSB comprises a group of people representing, within that group, the best available combination of expertise and diversity of international sustainability business and market experience. That experience may be drawn from a range of professional backgrounds, including preparers, users of sustainability information, standard-setters, auditors, academics and market and financial regulators. A broad base of skills, experience and perspectives is needed, therefore ISSB members may have other professional backgrounds that reflect a diverse range of expertise and roles that are relevant to sustainability and its reporting. The ISSB’s objective is to develop high-quality global sustainability disclosure standards that are capable of assurance, enforcement and consistent application to meet investors’ information needs. Accordingly the ISSB collectively is expected to demonstrate expert knowledge and relevant industry expertise in sustainability and corporate reporting, and share practical, relevant and up-to-date experience of them.

Members of the ISSB are required to commit themselves formally to acting in the public interest in all matters.

The ISSB members and staff are based in the Foundation’s offices in Beijing, Frankfurt, London, Montreal, San Francisco and Tokyo.

Position Summary: Member of the ISSB

This is a senior and prestigious appointment, demanding not only a high degree of expertise and ethics but also a high level of stakeholder engagement and influencing skills, as well as drive and energy.

The ISSB is charged with developing and maintaining sustainability disclosure standards that will enable companies to provide comprehensive sustainability information for the global financial markets to meet investors’ information needs. Meetings of the ISSB will be held in public.

The role is full time, although the Trustees will also consider candidates wishing to serve on a part-time basis provided they can demonstrate and maintain the required level of independence.

The position is based in the Foundation’s Asia-Oceania office in Tokyo and involves frequent international travel to engage with fellow board members and staff, as well as wide range of stakeholders.

Members of the ISSB are appointed for a term of up to five years, with eligibility for renewal for a further three years, with the possibility of renewal of up to five years.
