About Global Health Strategies
Global Health Strategies (GHS) is an international consulting company that specializes in global health communications, advocacy, research, and strategy. Our clients include leading philanthropies, non-government organizations (NGOs), multilaterals, government agencies, academic institutions, and industry. Our work is driven by a passion for improving the health and well-being of individuals and communities around the world. We offer the skills, knowledge, and goal-driven efficiency to enhance our clients' efforts to address some of the world’s toughest health challenges, including COVID-19, polio eradication, sexual and reproductive health, and access to vaccines, tests and therapeutics.
Who we’re looking for
You are passionate, motivated and love to learn. Have experience working with relevant United Nations agencies and other public health entities including foundations, NGOs, and the private sector. You are hands-on, diplomatic, flexible and can quickly add value to teams. You’ll be able to seamlessly transition between drafting tweets, liaising with senior agency leaders and presenting on partner calls.
We’re particularly interested in bringing on board someone with strong connections in the global health space across Europe. Experience working with the German government is particularly welcome. Preferably, you are available to start immediately.
About the role
Our Senior Associates are outstanding project managers, writers and editors. As leaders of small teams, they know how to get great results through others and manage critical client interactions.
A key part of this role will involve supporting our activities based out of Geneva, Switzerland. The initial day-to-day will involve developing and executing communications plans; internal coordination with technical counterparts and communications colleagues, including triaging requests and negotiating clearance processes; and drafting talking points, press releases, statements, social media posts and more. We’d also look to you to drive the growth of our presence in Germany and other key markets in Europe.
Typical Senior Associate responsibilities include:
Communications

- Getting journalists excited about an issue or announcement by identifying the right media contacts, drafting compelling pitches and press releases and building relationships with reporters and major outlets

- Building new coalitions of support for an issue with dedicated outreach, organization and relationship management
- Following and tracking trends in global health policies and funding opportunities
Client/Project Management
- Owning critical deliverables by developing a vision and strategy and quickly mobilizing teams to bring it to fruition
- Leading critical components of client calls and meetings
- Extensively communicating with managers on progress and challenges, bringing solutions to problems before they arise
