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, innovative ideas and the ability to roll up your sleeves and get the job done. You’re always seeking better solutions and new opportunities to drive change. New challenges motivate you. You may be early in your career but are ready for responsibility and influence.

You believe in the power of human stories and evidence to change hearts and minds, and you’re comfortable in both worlds. You’re an excellent written communicator. You understand that hard work and organization underpin every victory.

Every experience is a learning opportunity. You value diverse perspectives and inspiring people. You support others and believe teams are more productive and creative with your presence. No job is too big or task too small for you.

You seek a purpose-driven environment rather than just a 9-to-5 job, with great colleagues (and the occasional office lip-sync video). We would be thrilled to have you join us.

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