Every child, no matter where he or she is born, has the right to the opportunity of a healthy life and vaccines are one of the best ways to achieve it.

As a public private partnership, the GAVI Alliance focuses the specialist skills of the key players in immunisation – UNICEF, the World Health Organization, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, donor governments, developing countries, the pharmaceutical industry - on a single mission: to save children's lives and protect people's health by increasing access to immunisation in poor countries.

The GAVI Alliance is seeking exceptional individuals to fill several positions for Senior Manager, Resource Mobilisation based in Geneva, Switzerland and one bilingual English/Spanish position in Washington DC. The Resource Mobilisation team, reporting to the CEO, advises GAVI leadership on the overall resource mobilisation strategy and leads the fundraising efforts for the organisation.
