Background: Global Fund for a New Economy (GFNE) was founded in 2024 and partners with leaders and organisations around the world to build an economic system that centres people, protects the planet, and strengthens democracy. We provide catalytic funding, strategic partnerships, and operational infrastructure to help shape this transition. We are a remote-first, globally distributed team with programmatic priorities in Brazil, India, the United States, South Africa, Kenya, Germany, the United Kingdom, Colombia, Mexico, and Indonesia. This role requires strong comfort with asynchronous collaboration, flexible scheduling, and self-directed work. You’ll join a high-performing, mission-driven team that values collaboration, learning, and clarity.

Description: We support organisations working to advance a new economy around the world through communications, campaigns and other tactics. This detail-oriented role is responsible for managing our day-to-day network and operational support systems for these groups. We are looking for someone with excellent relationship management skills to support the daily coordination of GFNE’s global network. Our “network” refers to a growing community of partner organisations, consultants, and affiliated groups working across economic justice, democracy, and climate in different regions. This role ensures smooth internal operations (e.g. ensuring our fortnightly meeting with each group is running effectively) and external collaboration by managing coordination, logistics, workflows, documentation, and follow-up including our annual all network retreats. You’ll be the anchor for keeping our global connections running smoothly, making sure the right people, systems, and processes are in sync. This role will devote about 70% of its time to the Communications team and about 30% to the Advocacy team. In addition to supporting network operations, this person will build and foster strong relationships between GFNE and our partners as well as between our partners across the world. The role will be a success if our networks are providing the best support possible for our partners and where we are most effectively able to track the evolving needs and status of those partners.

Key Responsibilities:

Act as a key point of contact for network partners and communications hubs.
Respond to real-time queries and triage requests to the right internal team members ensuring that tasks are complete.
Support partner onboarding and keep CRM or tracker systems current.
Maintain strong cross-team coordination to support program delivery.

Facilitate initial infrastructure, systems, and onboarding processes in collaboration with relevant GFNE teams.
Help identify support needs and connect new partners to tools, documentation, or consultants.
Proactively identify and solve for barriers in processes, relationship management, and information sharing.
Schedule internal and external meetings across global time zones.
Track recurring network moments and learning exchanges.
Lead the development, planning, and successful execution of annual week-long learning retreats for communication hubs.
Own meeting prep, notes, and follow-ups.
Facilitate meetings and help develop agendas, take detailed notes, and follow through on next steps.
Track contracts, scopes of work, and deliverables.
Manage grant-related documentation and track disbursements.
Maintain up-to-date records of consultants, partnerships, and network info.
Manage shared tools like Google Drive, Notion, and Asana.

Requirements: Must-have Experience:

5–7 years in operations, coordination, or project management roles.
Proven track record of managing internal workflows and logistics.
Experience working across distributed teams and partners.
Skilled at coordinating across multiple stakeholders or organisations and maintaining strong, trust-based relationships.
Event planning and/or production experience.
Ability to navigate cultural differences and communicate clearly across contexts.
Comfortable with project management and collaboration tools.
Familiarity with contracts, scopes of work, and tracking deliverables.
