About Global Health Strategies

Working at Global Health Strategies means being passionate about social and economic justice, seeing these goals as inseparable from public health and global development.

You have ambitious, out-of-the-box ideas and the know-how to roll up your sleeves and get the job done. You're always seeking better solutions and the next opportunity to drive change. New challenges motivate you. You may be early in your career, but you're ready for responsibility and influence.

You believe in the power of human stories and evidence to change hearts and minds. You're an excellent written communicator. You understand that hard work and organization are behind every victory.

Everything is a learning opportunity. You surround yourself with diverse perspectives and people who inspire you to be better. You support others and believe teams are more seamless, productive, enthusiastic, and creative with you on them. For you, no job is too big, no task too small.

You want a purpose-driven environment with great people (and the occasional office-wide lip-sync video), not just a 9-to-5 job. We would be thrilled to have you join us.

The GHS team consists of exceptional communicators, content producers, and collaborators who execute efficiently while bringing fresh ideas. They also bring a sense of humor and enjoy having fun.
