Working with Global Fund

Working at The Global Fund means contributing to global-health impact from a partnership organization rather than joining a field-implementation agency. The Secretariat is based in Geneva and does not operate country offices. Its staff mobilize resources, manage grants and investment decisions, work with governments and civil society, monitor results and help countries and partners address HIV, tuberculosis and malaria. The delivery model is country-led: Country Coordinating Mechanisms develop funding requests; Principal Recipients implement.

Why Work at Global Fund?

  • Influence country-led health investments

    Shape grants and partnerships that support HIV, tuberculosis, malaria and resilient health systems.

  • Work inside a distinctive partnership

    Collaborate with governments, communities, civil society, technical agencies, donors and private-sector partners.

  • Turn evidence into accountable funding

    Use data, procurement and assurance to direct resources where disease burden is highest.

Once you find a suitable The Global Fund vacancy on IGO Jobs or The Global Fund careers page, submit your application through The Global Fund's official recruitment portal. Below is a guide on how to apply.

Official Global Fund application route ↗
1Confirm that the Secretariat role fits your route

Read the vacancy’s division, functions and Geneva location carefully. The Global Fund has no country offices: all Secretariat staff are based in Geneva, and it does not offer medical jobs or volunteer placements. Use the separate consultancy route if the notice is not a staff vacancy.

2Open the official Workday vacancy and verify your account

Select a live listing from Global Fund Careers, then create an account on the official Workday portal. First-time users must verify their email address. Do not send a CV by email: the careers page says emailed CVs are not accepted.

3Submit English documents tailored to the specific person specification

Upload an up-to-date CV or résumé and the required one-page cover letter in English; the system can also use a LinkedIn profile. Answer any role-specific screening questions, including those on languages or mandatory qualifications, with information consistent with your documents.

4Submit before the Geneva deadline and retain the confirmation

Complete the application before midnight Geneva time, UTC/GMT +1, on the stated closing date. Workday sends an automatic receipt after submission. Applications are reviewed against the advertised criteria as they arrive, so ensure your profile and attachments are complete rather than assuming a late correction will be possible.

5Prepare for Global Fund’s structured shortlist assessments

Eligible candidates may be invited by email to an automated video interview, and some roles include a technical written test. Candidates progressing to interview complete a 30-minute Organizational Fit Assessment covering Global Fund awareness, service orientation, results, collaboration, interaction and adaptability.

6Complete the Teams panel and final checks

The final interview is held by Teams with the hiring manager, an HR recruiter and a neutral panel member. Leadership roles may add a third-party workshop. A successful candidate provides three references and completes background and security checks; managerial appointments also receive 360-degree reference checks.
