About the Position
The Sexual & Reproductive Health Associate will work with the firm’s managers, directors and senior consultants to develop and implement communications and advocacy strategies for Global Health Strategies’ clients. The Associate will work primarily on projects related to maternal health, HIV/AIDS, cervical cancer and family planning, but may also be expected to contribute to other accounts as needed. Given the flexible nature of the organization, the opportunity exists for the Associate to work on a variety of projects; however the Associate will focus on three core areas: advocacy, communications/media relations, and client/project management.
Communications/Media Relations
GHS provides full-spectrum communications services for its clients. For this position, the Associate should expect to spend a significant amount of his/her time on sexual and reproductive health communications and media relations and be able to identify trends, opportunities and key reporters in the U.S, Europe, Africa and emerging markets. Additionally, the Associate is responsible for the drafting of important communications documents (press releases, fact sheets, speeches, Q and A’s), editing communications materials, and liaising with journalists to guide coverage of key global health issues.
Advocacy
GHS works with clients to secure political and financial support by leveraging existing and new relationships with governments, foundations, multilaterals, and NGOs to help its clients expand their global support base, build capacity, and maximize new relationships and opportunities. In support of these efforts, the Associate is responsible for researching global health policies and funding opportunities, and providing support for various advocacy events and conferences. These efforts include drafting research and policy analyses, writing reports and creating PowerPoint presentations.
Client/Project Management:
GHS expects the Associate to quickly assume responsibility for managing projects and client relations. This includes managing account budgets, accounting for the project team’s monthly activities, tracking account deliverables, managing team calendars, schedules, travel logistics and other administrative duties as needed. The Associate acts as the client’s point of contact and is responsible for managing work projects and deliverables, ensuring the client’s needs are met and keeping the principals appraised of project developments and status. The Associate is also expected to regularly attend both meetings with GHS clients and events on behalf of clients.
Required Qualifications
GHS is seeking an intelligent self-starter capable of quickly getting up to speed on GHS’s work and rapidly assuming increasing levels of responsibility. A passion for understanding global public health issues and trends – particularly around sexual and reproductive health – is essential for this position. The individual must be well-organized and detail-oriented, capable of independently producing accurate documents quickly when required, and comfortable in a fast-paced international environment.
