UN WOMEN: PARTNERSHIPS AND DONOR RELATIONS SPECIALIST
Grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, UN Women will work for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security. Placing women’s rights at the centre of all its efforts, UN Women will lead and coordinate United Nations System efforts to ensure that commitments on gender equality and gender mainstreaming translate into action throughout the world. It will provide strong and coherent leadership in support of Member States’ priorities and efforts, building effective partnerships with civil society, the private sector and other relevant actors. The Strategic Partnership Division (SPD) is responsible for proactively driving the strategic positioning of UN Women so that the size, sources and predictability of its resources help the organization achieve its strategic goals. A service center to UN Women HQ Divisions and Field Offices, SPD is organized into three functional clusters: Resource Mobilization, Civil Society, Communications and Advocacy. Given the scope and interrelationships of SPD’s functional responsibilities, the work of SPD is highly synergistic, involving constant and direct interaction and information-sharing among team members, to provide high quality advice, services and support to UN Women. Under the direct supervision of the Resource Mobilization Director and in collaboration with Division colleagues and the UN Women Directorate, the Partnerships Specialist will provide support to the overall effort to build and strengthen the collaborative efforts and partnerships with UN Member States, civil society organizations and the private sector, including foundations. The Partnership and Donor Relations Specialist will support the implementation of UN Women's partnership and resource mobilization strategies as primary focal point for key donors, such as the United States, Germany, Austria and Ireland as well as for the 150/250 Campaign in Africa and Caribbean countries and provide support to other European countries that are crucial to the achievement of resource mobilization and outreach targets.
