Published, here, an example of a Knowledge Management role description.
This role, called the "Global Know-How Counsel", is effectively the Head of KM, or CKO, for the Legal function within Shell. It does not seem to be a Network Leader role, though it could be considered to be a Practice Owner role, given the accountability for content, and given that they are looking for a Lawyer with KM interests, rather than a KMer with a legal background.
