The posting

Advisor, Partnerships - GL D - Defined Duration until December 2029

The Advisor, Partnerships contributes to the development and effective management of the strategic partnerships, serving as the SIED coordination point with priority external partners, new funding opportunities and partnership-related initiatives. The position plays a key role in enhancing engagement with a range of partners, with the overall aim of maximizing impact and value for money.

A key focus of the role is the coordination of specific externally financed initiatives and set-asides, maintaining a consolidated view of different arrangements and ensuring consistency in how these are designed, established and managed across partners. The role acts as a coordination point across Global Fund Secretariat relevant business owners and enabling functions, helping connect funding with strategic priorities and implementation realities, and ensuring appropriate processes, accountabilities and ways of working are established while recognizing the requirements of individual partners.

The role also serves as a strategic focal point for the External Relations and Communications Division (ERCD) on new funding opportunities, helping connect potential partner funding with organizational priorities and coordinating engagement across relevant teams. The role supports the assessment and development of new opportunities, ensuring strategic, programmatic and operational perspectives are brought together early and that there is a clear pathway from initial opportunity through decision-making, design and country-level implementation.

The role also provides direct support to the Manager and SIED leadership on priority external engagements. This includes developing engagement strategies and objectives; coordinating and consolidating inputs from across the Secretariat; preparing briefings, presentations and other materials for senior-level engagements; and capturing feedback, commitments and follow-up actions to ensure engagements translate into coordinated organizational action.

Through these responsibilities, the role maintains an integrated view of the Global Fund’s strategic partnership landscape, identifies connections and emerging opportunities across engagements, and supports the Manager and SIED leadership to manage increasingly complex external relationships in a coherent, strategic and disciplined way.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Partnership Coordination:

  • Coordinate SIED’s strategic partnership portfolio, maintaining an integrated view of priority external relationships, initiatives, commitments and opportunities; identifying connections, dependencies and emerging issues; and supporting coherent engagement across SIED and the wider Secretariat.
  • Build and maintain effective relationships with priority external partners, working across foundations, bilateral and multilateral organizations, technical agencies and other partners to advance shared priorities and maximize the impact and value of partnership opportunities.

Externally Financed Initiatives & Set-Asides:

  • Coordinate specific externally financed initiatives and set-asides, working across business owners and enabling functions to support their design, establishment and implementation and maintain consolidated oversight of objectives and timelines.
  • Engage in dialogue and negotiations with bilateral and multilateral partners to identify and leverage additional resources at the central, regional and country levels to support program planning and implementation
  • Drive greater consistency in the management of set-asides and externally financed initiatives, developing common processes and ways of working where appropriate, while accommodating the specific requirements of individual partners; identify and apply lessons across arrangements to continuously improve the Global Fund’s approach.
  • Coordinate emerging and existing platforms from bilateral and technical partners such as the Impact Through Partnerships Partner Support Platform and Joint Working Group to address issues of program design and implementation.

New Funding Opportunities:

  • Serve as SIED’s strategic focal point for ERCD on new funding opportunities, coordinating the assessment and development of opportunities and bringing together strategic, programmatic, country and operational perspectives to assess alignment with Global Fund priorities, potential impact and implementation feasibility.
  • Coordinate the pathway from funding opportunity to implementation, working with ERCD, GMD and relevant SIED and enabling functions to ensure clear ownership, decision-making and hand-offs from initial partner discussions through design and approval to country-level implementation.

Implementation Tracking & Partner Dialogue:

  • Track implementation of priority partnership initiatives and commitments, working with Grant Management, SIED and other relevant teams to maintain visibility of progress, results, emerging risks and delivery bottlenecks.
  • Identify programmatic and cross-cutting bottlenecks where partner engagement can help unlock delivery, working closely with the Data, Analytics and Learning Department, implementation experience and country insights to determine where additional technical, financial or other partner support could have greatest value.
  • Use these insights to drive focused dialogue and problem-solving with partners, connecting identified needs with available partner capabilities and resources, coordinating follow-up across relevant teams, and tracking whether agreed actions are addressing bottlenecks and supporting improved implementation and scale-up.

Strategic Engagement & Management Support:

  • Support the Manager and SIED leadership to develop and execute engagement strategies for priority external partners, defining objectives and desired outcomes, identifying key messages and issues, and ensuring engagements are aligned with broader organizational priorities and relationships.
  • Coordinate preparation and follow-through for senior external engagements, consolidating inputs and feedback from across the Secretariat; preparing briefings, presentations and other materials; and tracking commitments, decisions and follow-up actions to ensure engagements translate into coordinated organizational action.

Subject to change by the Executive Director at any time at their sole discretion.
