Founded in 2002, The Global Fund is a leading international partnership committed to ending the epidemics of HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria. By investing US$4 billion annually, the Fund strengthens health systems and drives innovations in over 100 countries, bringing together governments, civil society, affected communities, and the private sector to accelerate progress toward a healthier, more equitable world.

The Global Fund is seeking to appoint a new Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) for a fixed two-year term. As a key member of the Executive Director’s Management Executive Committee, the CHRO will play a central role in navigating significant leadership transition and organisational transformation. This position is responsible for developing and executing a forward-looking People Strategy, ensuring the Fund’s talent, culture, and capabilities are fully aligned with its bold mission and evolving strategic direction.

The CHRO will lead a highly skilled team and oversee all core HR functions, including workforce planning, talent management, organisational design, and employee engagement. The role will provide strategic advice to the Board, Executive Director, and senior leadership on people-related matters, driving initiatives that enhance organisational performance, foster a culture of inclusion and continuous improvement, and ensure the Global Fund is future-ready. As the Fund adapts to global public health challenges and changing resource landscapes, the CHRO will be instrumental in supporting innovation, resilience, and high performance across the organisation.

Candidates should possess extensive senior HR leadership experience in complex, multicultural, and international contexts, ideally within mission-driven organisations. A strong track record in strategic HR management, organisational change, and leading diverse, high-performing teams is essential. An advanced degree in human resources, organisational development, business administration, or a related field is required. Exceptional interpersonal, change management, and communication skills are vital, as is fluency in English; proficiency in French or other languages is highly desirable. The position is based in Geneva, Switzerland, and may require international travel.

The Global Fund actively embraces and promotes diversity, equity, and inclusion. Applications are encouraged from all qualified candidates, regardless of background, who share this commitment and are motivated by the Fund’s mission.
