Vacancy: Communications Manager

We are currently recruiting for a Communications Manager to come and join the World Hepatitis Alliance team based in London. 

It is an exciting time to be joining the World Hepatitis Alliance (WHA), we have a new five-year strategy which will support and accelerate efforts to eliminate viral hepatitis globally within ten years. Alongside the new strategy we have a new brand, a new website and a new suite of exciting campaigns, programmes and events. Communications is a key pillar of our work; the lack of awareness of hepatitis is costing people their lives. If you want to join a small, ambitious and dynamic team that works at a global level to make a difference, then this role is for you.

We are looking for someone to work closely with the Head of Communications and other key staff, to position the organisation and the hepatitis cause within the global hepatitis landscape and the wider health landscape. Key to our strategy are the stories of the people and communities affected by viral hepatitis.

The successful candidate will deliver high impact multi-channel global campaigns, develop case studies and communicate the work of WHA to key stakeholders. We are looking for a communication all-rounder with skills across web development, copy writing, marketing, design, video and social media. The ideal candidate will be a proactive, creative problem solver ready to turn their hand to a wide range of projects.

In return you will receive a competitive salary and annual leave allowance as well as the chance to make a real difference to the lives of people affected by viral hepatitis.
