Job description

The Crisis Financing Advisor (Pooled Funds) will play a key role in advancing system change in crisis financing by providing technical assistance to the design, development, and strengthening of Start Network-led and supported pooled funds. The role focuses on strategic, policy, and programmatic inputs, rather than grant management or financial administration. The role will drive collaboration and learning across pooled fund initiatives within and beyond the Start Network, support member engagement, and contribute to innovative approaches that promote locally led, anticipatory, and effective crisis response.

This role requires someone with in-depth understanding of the current humanitarian financing system and policy environment, direct experience of managing or advising pooled funds, as well as a strong track record in stakeholder management within membership organisations or networks.
