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.
