About The Opportunity

The Director of CGI’s Health Impact Area (CGI Health) is responsible for executing the strategy for CGI Health, translating the impact agenda into partnership direction, stakeholder engagement, and structured initiatives.

Reporting to the Managing Director of Health, the Director will serve as a strategic leader, and drive partnership strategy, strengthen and expand engagement with funders, government, private sector, and multilateral organizations, and lead high-impact partnerships inclusive of Commitments to Action (Commitments) – new initiatives launched through CGI.

This role will ensure day-to-day oversight of CGI Health’s portfolio of active Commitments and lead the development of new Commitments on a yearly basis through active identification and close collaboration with U.S. and global partners committed to making quality health care more available, accessible, and equitable. The Director will also be responsible for fostering new connections and strategic partnership opportunities, to support the successful execution of health initiatives launched through CGI.

Successful candidates for this role will have a strong background in public health/healthcare, expertise in program development and execution, a global perspective, and experience engaging partners across sectors and cultural contexts. Candidates should have a minimum of 10-12 years of experience and demonstrate expertise connecting partnership strategy and strategic alliance management with real world impact for communities.

The Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) convenes global and emerging leaders to create and implement solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges. CGI works with partners to drive action through its unique model. Rather than directly implementing projects, CGI facilitates action by helping members connect, collaborate, and develop Commitments to Action — new, specific, and measurable plans that address global challenges.
