Associate Specialist, Strategy and Policy, Strategy and Policy Hub - GL C - 2 years Defined DurationThe new Global Fund Strategy, Fighting Pandemics and Building a Healthier and More Equitable World: Global Fund Strategy (2023-2028), sets out how the Global Fund partnership aims to accelerate impact towards the 2030 horizon and contribute to a world free of the burden of AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria with better, more equitable health for all, as set out in Sustainable Development Goal 3.

Realization of the Strategy’s vision in a rapidly changing global context requires active evolution of the Global Fund’s work, policies and operational model to ensure they are optimally positioned to maximize the impact of our resources and build the sustainability of Global Fund-supported programs.

This will involve developing strategic options, policy guidance, undertaking research and data analysis, and deducing evidence-based recommendations to inform the strategic and policy direction of the organization.

The Associate Specialist will also support the Head, Strategy and Policy Hub in providing support to other functions or workstreams in which the Department is involved.

Key Responsibilities

Solicit and incorporate input from internal Secretariat and external stakeholders on operational model revisions and associated strategy and policy updates, and synthesize key conclusions and strategic implications from these consultations, including pros and cons, risks and mitigation efforts. Develop talking points, briefings, presentations, papers and other materials to inform senior management decision making on strategic and policy matters. Contribute to drafting of strategic recommendations, policy documents and/or revisions, as well as corresponding Committee and Board documents and presentations. Develop and maintain relationships with internal and external stakeholders to effectively collaborate, innovate and resolve challenges on joint areas of work across organizations.
