Gates Foundation: Deputy Director of Policy & Finance – Global Health Policy & Advocacy December 10, 2007
Posted by bluetifulwork in Foundations/Issue Organizations, Health, Policy, Research, WA.add a comment
Foundation Summary: Guided by the belief that every life has equal value, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation works to help all people lead healthy, productive lives. In developing countries, it focuses on improving people’s health and giving them the chance to lift themselves out of hunger and extreme poverty. In the United States, it seeks to ensure that all people-especially those with the fewest resources-have access to the opportunities they need to succeed in school and life. Based in Seattle, the foundation is led by CEO Patty Stonesifer and co-chair William H. Gates Sr., under the direction of Bill and Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett.
Group Summary: The mission of the Global Health Program at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is to improve health in the poorest regions of the world by developing and introducing promising new and existing health technologies. The Global Health Policy & Advocacy team (GHPA) contributes to that mission by analyzing, designing and implementing solutions to policy, financing, advocacy and visibility challenges inherent in the overall goal.
Policy & Finance is one of several units within GHPA. The Deputy Director for Policy & Finance oversees the conceptualization and execution of a strategy to (a) increase and improve international financing channels for global health (spanning basic research to product and service delivery), and (b) build the policy foundations that drive sound decision-making among a broad group of global health funders in both public and private sectors. Innovation in approach and in partners has been the hallmark of this team’s success to date.
Against those goals, the Deputy Director manages a professional team focused on both a financial solutions agenda encompassing program finance, innovative financing mechanisms, and corporate partnerships, as well as a policy research agenda encompassing R&D policy, aid effectiveness research and data/evidence gathering.
As a member of the GHPA senior management team, the Deputy Director also contributes to the development and execution of a strategic plan which guides the entire team’s grantmaking and activities.
This role requires residency in or relocation to the Seattle, Washington area. (more…)
