About GISF

The Global Interagency Security Forum (GISF) is a member-led NGO network working to strengthen security risk management across the humanitarian, development and human rights sectors. With over 140 member organisations, GISF provides resources, convening spaces, and expertise to help keep aid workers safe.

The NGO security sector is fast-moving and globally connected. This role offers a chance to work at the heart of major sector events, engage with leading NGOs, UN agencies, donors, and private sector partners, and contribute to shaping the future of aid worker safety. Occasional travel provides opportunities to attend conferences, support key forums, and meet members across regions.

About the role

GISF is seeking a highly capable professional with strong project management skills, excellent stakeholder engagement experience, and the ability to work independently at pace.

The post-holder will play a pivotal role in delivering GISF’s sector-leading events, ensuring a healthy and active membership network, and driving engagement with the commercial sector. As an outward-facing role with broad engagement responsibilities, we are looking for a confident communicator, a natural relationship-builder, and someone with an organised approach to managing multiple priorities.

  • Lead the delivery of additional engagements, including GISF’s programme at the Humanitarian Networks and Partnership Week annually in Geneva, high-level roundtables with donors and states, webinars, and more.
  • Represent GISF at sector events with professionalism.
  • Contribute to GISF’s influencing work and policy level engagements, working closely with the Head of Policy and Engagement on advocacy efforts, policy messaging, and strategic outreach.

Membership administration

  • Proactive scoping of new members and engage with interested prospective members on application process.
  • Manage the full membership application pipeline, including due diligence and coordination with the GISF Steering Group to approve new members.
  • Working closely with the Communications & Engagement Officer to onboard new members, ensuring they are set up across all relevant systems.
  • Track, update, and report on member engagement using Salesforce.

Commercial engagement

  • Lead on immediate sponsorship efforts for the 2026 Global Conference, including identifying prospective sponsors, developing tailored sponsorship materials, coordinating follow-up, and ensuring sponsor visibility requirements are integrated into conference planning.
  • Support GISF’s wider commercial partnership programme by identifying and nurturing new leads through structured outreach and consistent relationship management.
  • Coordinate closely with the Executive Director on sponsor meetings and pitches.
  • Maintain accurate tracking of leads and progress on Salesforce.
  • Document lessons learned, refine outreach processes, and contribute to the development of a partnership strategy and workflow.

Please refer to the attached document for the full person description.

What we offer

  • 25 days of annual leave increasing annually after 2 years, up to a maximum 30 days (plus bank holidays)
  • Office shutdown between Christmas and New Year
  • Employer Pension contributions
  • A focus on professional development, including access to overseas events, workshops, and training
