Original source description

Term: 11 months (contract)

Senior Associates are outstanding project managers, writers, and editors — and the engine of our social media client work. Key to our small teams, Senior Associates drive critical deliverables, run key client interactions, and help develop the next generation of GHS talent. You will work across communications, advocacy, and project management, typically supporting two or more client accounts at once.

We’re looking for people who bring entrepreneurial energy and out-of-the-box thinking to complex problems, who are as passionate about the craft of communications as they are about the issues, and who understand that impactful work — especially in a global, fast-moving field — doesn’t always fit neatly into a 9-to-5. If that sounds like you, we’d love to be in touch.

Communications

Producing compelling, strategic communications materials from crisp communications strategies and persuasive pitch decks to compelling narratives around key issues

Making complex concepts accessible and actionable to a wide audience by creating and polishing key messages, fact sheets, social media posts and creative digital materials

Thinking like a journalist to identify what makes a strong story and craft pitches and press materials for reporters

Elevating the voice and expertise of high-level influencers by polishing opinion pieces at key moments, prepping them for interviews and drafting speeches and talking points for events

Following and tracking trends in media coverage, key announcements, new evidence and high-level conversations that may impact priority global health challenges

Advocacy

Identifying strategic moments and new champions to influence target stakeholders and amplify our clients’ strategic goals

Getting partners on the same page through careful coordination, relationship management and message alignment

Getting partners, influencers and decision-makers in the same place by owning major deliverables within high-level events, including identifying invitees and speakers, and developing agendas or presentations

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

Client/Project Management

Keeping tabs on all the moving pieces of the project, often in a fast-paced environment

Leading components of client calls and meetings

Understanding background and nuance across global health and development to provide strategic counsel to clients

Coaching staff members on writing, client-facing interactions, and time management skills

Increasing your efficiency, including through use of AI, as you become familiar with the team, work and issue area

Over-communicating with managers on progress and challenges, bringing solutions to problems before they arise

Attending events and meetings with senior management on behalf of clients

3-6 years of related work
