Since 1863, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has worked to preserve human dignity and relieve suffering caused by war and armed violence.
In collaboration with our Red Cross and Red Crescent partners around the world, we do everything we can to deliver life-saving aid, reconnect families and locate missing people – helping those who need it most, regardless of who they are and what side of the front line they are on.
We engage with authorities and armed forces on all sides, often confidentially, pressing for access to detainees to improve their living conditions and urging compliance with international humanitarian law to protect non-combatants, including from digital threats.
The ICRC’s ability to mobilize funds is an essential enabler of its mission: financial resources are fundamental to the organization’s ability to reach, protect and assist people affected by armed conflict and other situations of violence.
The ICRC's funding is primarily provided by governments and multilateral bodies. While individual relationships with different countries and bodies are managed by dedicated relationship managers, this position is responsible for managing the ICRC’s multilateral engagement efforts including the specific subgrouping of the Donor Support Group (DSG), a strategic membership group that contains ICRC's largest donors. The multilateral engagement approach that this role will manage includes five key pillars:
In practice, multilateral engagement with public sector (mainly Government) partners takes the form of a series of events: appeal launches, briefings, workshops, and field trips, among others. This position is accountable for the development of the multilateral engagement annual cycle, the shaping of its agenda and the delivery of individual events.
This position reports to the Head of REM and works closely with the Head of Public REM and associated teams, especially colleagues responsible for public partner outreach (universalization of the public donor base) and Movement fundraising. In support of the Head of REM, it contributes to setting strategic ambitions for multilateral public sector partner engagement and community stewardship. This position works to develop and implement high-level initiatives to mobilize resources, safeguard relationships, and influence policy, which in turn contributes to securing sustainable funding. This position requires a combination of strategic planning, policy development, community and event management, communications, and partner relations skills. It works in collaboration with stakeholders across the ICRC to develop the topics and approaches for this ongoing dialogue.
The position supports the division and the institutional fundraising strategy at the global level by incorporating bilateral fundraising priorities into multilateral engagement strategic planning, coordinating, with a range of internal stakeholders and under the lead of the Head of REM, the partner-facing strategic narrative of the ICRC, and ensuring seamless coordination of collective and bilateral relationship management to strengthen relationships with partners.
