About the Opportunity
As the convening arm of the Clinton Foundation, the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) brings together leaders from the public sector, private sector, and civil society to drive action and create partnerships to improve lives. To do this, CGI hosts both large-scale conferences (500-1,500+ attendees) and targeted events to spotlight and bring together the people, issues and solutions making a difference in communities around the world. Separating CGI from other conveners, year-round, CGI supports partners in our community to develop Commitments to Action – new, specific and measurable projects that help address a specific challenge.
Building on track record of pioneering and implementing innovative public health solutions, the Clinton Foundation is looking to bring on a Senior Manager, CGI Health Equity (maternity leave cover). This role is charged with developing and supporting a network of U.S. domestic and international organizations committed to creating healthier, safer and more equitable communities around the world.
The Senior Manager, CGI Health Equity (maternity leave cover) will support the development and maintenance of a portfolio of Commitments to Action to address a specific public health/challenge both in the US and globally. As CGI continues to expand its work in the health equity space, this position will steward partnerships between and among a wide-range of organizations committed to advancing health equity, including the corporate and business community, philanthropic institutions, government agencies, and community-based organizations.
Successful candidates for this role will have a background in public health, will have a global perspective, a large professional network, and be excited to engage on challenges facing a diverse set of constituencies in the US and around the world. Candidates will have strong relationship management experience and an intuition for bringing different people together to forge partnerships.
This opportunity is project-based and therefore is slated to end three months after the start date.
