Your Role

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 and track progress against RM goals across the foundation . 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, August 24, 2026.

What You'll Do

Capital Use/Demand Cultivation

• 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.

Deal Team Support & Source-Use Matchmaking

• 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.

Strategy Coordination & Leadership Support

• 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.

• Ability to travel up to 25%.

Your Experience

• Experience building, managing, and prioritizing complex investment pipelines - including structured finance, blended capital, fund mechanisms, and/or multilateral replenishments - ideally in a global health or development context.

• 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).

• Strong analytical and financial modeling skills; ability to cost capital stacks at a portfolio level and translate program priorities into investment-ready business cases.

• Experience coordinating across complex, matrixed organizations working with program teams, relationship managers, finance and legal functions, and senior leadership simultaneously.

• Proven ability to develop and maintain shared systems and processes for knowledge management across distributed teams; experience with CRM platforms or pipeline management tools a plus.

• Track record of translating technical program requirements into funder-relevant narratives, KPIs, and investment cases.

• Familiarity with the global health financing landscape - including bilateral donors, MDBs/DFIs, major philanthropies, impact investors, and multilateral fund structures.

• 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.
