The Corporate Partnerships team harnesses the power of the private sector to fuel sustainable global health solutions by prioritizing high ROI opportunities and matching them to the best partners. We partner with leading companies like P&G, Pfizer, Unilever and Vodafone supporting programs operating in more than 30 PSI countries.
We seek a Partnership Assistant to support the Corporate Partnerships team to expand existing and secure new partnership opportunities. Immersed deeply in the worlds of corporate social responsibility, global health, and international development, you will perform a vital role to the team through administrative duties such as pipeline research and outreach, scheduling, database management, budget coordination, and ad hoc partnership support. The Assistant should be as comfortable and confident speaking with Fortune 100 companies as ordering catering for meetings, cold calling to schedule meetings with clients and stepping in to help relationship managers with projects. The Assistant understands that their role is vital to meeting deadlines, completing projects on time, and the overall success of the Corporate Partnerships team.
