Global Health Strategies, New York, New York, us, 10261

Save Job

Working at Global Health Strategies means that you're passionate about social and economic justice and see these goals as inseparable from public health and global development.

You have ambitious, out-of-the-box ideas and know-how to roll up your sleeves and get the job done. You're always seeking a better solution and the next opportunity to drive change. New challenges wake you up. 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, and you're at home in both worlds. You're an excellent written communicator. You know that hard work and organization is behind every victory.

Everything is a learning opportunity. You surround yourself with diverse perspectives and people who inspire you to be better. You pay it forward by supporting others. 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 job that's not a 9-to-5 obligation, but a purpose-driven environment with great people (and the occasional office-wide lip sync video). And we would be thrilled to have you.
