Communications Specialist

The Communications Specialist will support Global Health Security (GHS) Program leadership and, working with the GHS Communications Advisor, will form a new communications team within GHS. The Communications Specialist will also serve as a critical link between GHS and a large team of communicators who sit within technical health offices across the Global Health Bureau. The Emerging Threats Division Deputy Director will be the point of contact for this position, and the position will receive day-to-day technical direction from the GHS Communication Advisor. As a critical part of this new GHS communications team, the Communications Specialist will work with the Communications Advisor to elevate understanding and awareness of USAID’s work in global health security and pandemic preparedness and will work to ensure high-quality and consistent strategic communications from GHS.  S/he will bring new ideas for successful communications campaigns that include the use of digital media and print publications and will help increase and improve the way in which GHS tells its story.
