About The Position

The Foundation is the largest nonprofit fighting poverty, disease, and inequity around the world. Founded on a simple premise: people everywhere, regardless of identity or circumstances, should have the chance to live healthy, productive lives. We believe our employees should reflect the rich diversity of the global populations we aim to serve. We provide an exceptional benefits package to employees and their families which include comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage with no premiums, generous paid time off, paid family leave, foundation-paid retirement contribution, regional holidays, and opportunities to engage in several employee communities. As a workplace, we’re committed to creating an environment for you to thrive both personally and professionally. The mission of the Global Policy and Advocacy (GPA) division is to understand and shape the public policy debates affecting the foundation's work, build support for its major program and policy objectives, and develop partnerships and alliances that can advance the foundation's objectives nationally and globally. Because the foundation's resources alone are not enough to solve the challenges ahead, GPA also supports advocacy efforts to engage diverse stakeholders and promote innovative solutions that advance our program goals. We work in close partnership with grantees, our colleagues in the Global Health, Global Development, Global Growth & Opportunity, U.S. and Gender Equality programs and Foundation Communications to build the environment in which all people have the opportunity to lead healthy and productive lives. The GPA Office of the President (OOP) provides support to both the president and the full GPA division. This work includes ensuring the president is able to effectively represent all GPA strategies and teams in foundation-wide engagements; directing and supporting external engagements in service of the foundation’s priorities; developing and executing the president’s goals, particularly those that cut across teams and functions, and managing division-wide employee engagements and information flow. As Senior Officer, Resource Mobilization Hub, you will serve as GPA's central coordinator for capital use/demand, building and maintaining a comprehensive, prioritized pipeline of costed capital stacks, investable opportunities, fund mechanisms, and other capital needs across GPA, especially for the Mission Priorities. This is a new and high-visibility function at the center of GPA's resource mobilization operating system. You will work closely with Program Strategy Teams (PSTs), Mission Priority (MP) teams, the Foundation Strategy Office (FSO), and the Resource Mobilization Hub’s (RM Hub's) other functions to translate program priorities into investment-ready opportunities. Your core accountability is ensuring that RM Hub and the deal teams in the MPs always has a clear, sequenced view of what is ready for capital deployment and what financing gaps the foundation needs to fill to achieve its top priority goals. This role requires significant problem-solving skills, employed to bring complex and varied partners along as well as on project management and financial structuring. A highly strategic role, you will often need to navigate competing priorities amidst resource scarcity and operate both at a high level and in the details of specific technical products. You will work in close coordination with the RM Hub's DealFlow intelligence system, helping to ensure that the single source of truth on capital uses is accurate, current, and accessible. This is a limited-term position through December 2027. LTE's receive base compensation plus a generous and competitive benefits package. Applications accepted until 5 PM PT on Monday, June 22, 2026.

Demonstrated ability to assess and structure financing opportunities across a range of capital types (grants, concessional lending, guarantees, catalytic co-investment, DFI instruments, philanthropic tranches).

Excellent written and oral communication skills; comfortable preparing and presenting materials for senior decision-makers.
Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment; able to build credibility with senior team members across functions and geographies.
Must have unrestricted work authorization in the country where this position is located.

Responsibilities

Build and maintain GPA's single source of truth on live costed capital stacks, fund mechanisms, investable opportunities, and other capital uses across and beyond Mission Priorities — including costing, capital stack structuring, capital typing, timing, executing entities, and relevant geographies.
Work with PSTs and MPs to create and maintain comprehensive long-lists of investables and funds for each priority area (e.g., MNCNH, Malaria, HIV, TB, Nutrition, FP, Health R&D), and coordinate with MPs, FSO, and others on financial modeling and structure.
Develop and apply a readiness framework — clear criteria by capital and deal type — so that PSTs and others can self-assess investable readiness and RM Hub can triage and sequence opportunities for prioritization and activation.
Propose and maintain prioritization of funds and investables based on strategic salience (including alignment with Division Compact), readiness, and GF/GPA additionality.
Create and maintain processes to input pipeline data and updates into DealFlow (GPA’s AI-enabled intelligence system) to ensure real-time visibility across GPA and with senior leadership.
Work closely with MP dealmakers and others in the RM Hub to facilitate matchmaking between prioritized funds & investables and potential financing partners — flagging gaps, surfacing opportunities, and supporting the standing-up of deal teams.
Provide investments expertise as a member of deal teams: help articulate deal components, size financing requirements, define ideal capital structures, and support pitch development and negotiation as needed.
Coordinate with MPs, PSTs, and Legal on deal structuring questions — including capital stacks, blended instruments, concessional tranches, and fund mechanisms — ensuring alignment between impact goals and financing terms.
Support timely knowledge management: surface findings about investable development, funder preferences, and deal structures back into DealFlow.
Translate the technical profiles of investable opportunities into funder-facing materials, KPIs, and investment cases in partnership with PST technical leads and GPA specialists.
Standardize templates, materials, and processes for pipeline management and investable development — including one-pagers, readiness checklists, and costing tools — to build consistency and efficiency across deal teams.
Prepare and present at ALT RM Review meetings (with RM Hub leadership and senior GPA leadership) on pipeline status, investable readiness, and financing gaps, including clear recommendations on prioritization and trade-offs.
Contribute to RM Hub coordination mechanisms, ensuring that the investments function is integrated into GPA's resource mobilization rhythm of business.
Partner with the Data & Insights team on performance tracking of financing outcomes, helping to connect investable pipeline data to progress against Division Compact goals.
