**Organizational Setting**
The Resource Mobilization Division (PSR) leads and coordinates the mobilization of approximately USD 2 billion per year in voluntary contributions from a variety of resource partners including traditional and emerging donors, international organizations, development banks, vertical funds, foundations, and the private sector in support of FAO's strategic priorities. To achieve this, PSR manages the Organization's close and constant relationship with its resource partners, develops and disseminates qualitative and quantitative donor analytics, conducts extensive capacity development on resource mobilization (RM) for FAO field and headquarters staff. PSR is also the Business Process Owner (BPO) for the negotiation of all FAO funding agreements for voluntary contributions, approximately 800 per year, in line with the fiduciary standards of the Organization, acting as coordinator for various funding liaison units throughout the Organization, and facilitator of all required trust fund clearances with FAO Legal, Finance, Procurement and Audit functions. In leading FAO engagement with Resource Partners, PSR develops tools, events, and platforms to facilitate that engagement, and coordinates and oversees results reporting to ensure accountability to resource partners. PSR normally experiences an approximate 50/50% workload division between trust fund negotiation/ contract compliance and marketing/analytics and donor outreach.

The Division works through four major Units: the European Partners Unit, the Global Partners Unit, the Marketing Unit and the Flexible Funding Unit.

The post is located at FAO headquarters in Rome, Italy, in the Resource Mobilization Division (PSR), specifically in the European Partners Unit. The Unit leads trust fund and grant negotiations and develops strategic tools to facilitate identification of potential resource partners and opportunities with the European Commission and European bilateral FAO Member Nations. It engages on a daily basis with a wide range of traditional and emerging resource partners through active resource partner liaison and support of relevant units, assisting FAO teams in formulating/managing Trust Fund projects along the project cycle.
