BACKGROUND Global Partnerships (GP) is a non-profit impact-first fund manager dedicated to expanding opportunity for people living in poverty. Impact-first investing means investing in a way that seeks the greatest possible social impact, while seeking to preserve capital with a modest financial return for investors. GP believes that impact-first investing has an essential role to play in advancing sustainable solutions to poverty for millions of people worldwide. GP supports social enterprises serving people living in poverty, primarily in Latin America, the Caribbean, and Sub-Saharan Africa. We ended fiscal year 2025 with a portfolio of over $180 million in outstanding investments to 86 social enterprise partners. Since inception, our funds’ investments have positively impacted more than 39 million lives.

Build trusted relationships with HNWIs, donors, and mission-aligned investors, helping them understand GP’s mission, impact-first model, and philanthropic and investment on-ramps. Manage and grow an assigned portfolio of relationships; identify opportunities for renewal, increased engagement, or additional participation across GP’s capital spectrum. Participate in second and follow-up meetings with sophisticated prospects and supporters; listen well, assess motivations and decision dynamics, answer questions, and recommend the right next step. Work alongside GP’s CEO, Chief Capital and Impact Officer, Vice President of Investor Relations, and board members in shared relationships, in some cases taking on primary ownership over time. Serve as a strategic partner to internal relationship managers by clarifying account goals, meeting objectives, next steps, owners, and timelines. Develop and maintain account strategies that capture relationship history, motivations, giving or investment pathways, decision dynamics, risks, and recommended actions. Prepare concise executive briefing materials, talking points, and follow-up drafts that help senior leaders and board members use their time well. Lead or contribute to account reviews, surfacing opportunities, stalled relationships, risks, and specific recommended actions that drive quality throughput. Strategic Engagement Experiences Oversee the relationship strategy for small prospect gatherings and briefings; ensure each activity has a clear audience, purpose, follow-up plan, and role in the supporter journey. Help shape supporter trips and other high-touch experiences as tools for stewardship, growth, prospect education, and deeper engagement with GP’s mission and model. Partner with Investor Relations colleagues on execution; while others will coordinate logistics, this role closely manages attendee communication and follow-up to ensure each experience advances relationship goals. Maintain accurate, timely records of account strategies, meeting notes, opportunity stages, next actions, and timelines in GP’s CRM. Manage multiple concurrent workstreams with precision, ensuring no high-value relationship loses momentum or falls through the cracks.

Continuously identify process improvements that increase clarity, accountability, efficiency, and relationship quality across the investor relations function.
