Associate Communications Officer, Media

We are the largest nonprofit fighting poverty, disease, and inequity around the world. Founded on a simple premise: that people everywhere, regardless of identity or circumstances, should have the chance to live healthy, productive lives. By building a global and cultural workplace that supports greater diversity, equity, and inclusion — of voices, ideas, and approaches — together with our employees and partners, we can help all people improve their lives from poverty and health to education. As an organization we offer full healthcare premiums coverage, generous paid time off, contribution to your retirement fund, several employee communities, and a commitment to embedding diversity, equity, and inclusion into everything we do. The person in this role will serve as a critical and collaborative facilitator and coordinator for an effective, fun, respectful and responsive team that works across many divisions in the foundation – most regularly with colleagues in the central communications division but also with our colleagues on the policy and advocacy and regional communications teams as well as the Executive Office and the co-chairs’ personnel offices. You will support the team’s proactive and reactive engagements with media by: tracking and reporting on media activities across the foundation; collaborating with colleagues across the foundation, as needed, to promptly respond to incoming media inquiries; maintaining and enabling access to media assets; maintaining the team’s media management relationship tool; drafting and developing internal briefs and coordinating logistics for foundation leadership (including co-chairs and division presidents) media interviews and media activities; and, drafting and developing external-facing documents such as fact sheets and 1-pagers.
