As a Resource Mobilization Coordinator you will be part of the Programme Development and Management (PDM) unit. You will work closely with the Senior Resource Mobilization Coordinator, Business Developer Data & Digital and with colleagues across the department involved in ECHO fundraising.

• Support the process of strengthening resource mobilization capacities of (prioritized) bilateral partners (national societies),
• Collaboration and team building with the Resource Mobilization Coordinator and across functions involved in fundraising within NLRC.

• Quality Focus: deliver well-structured, donor-aligned proposals that meet NLRC standards.
• Communication: simplify complex information into clear, understandable language.
