Primary Responsibilities:

  • Support director and work closely with other internationally-based nutrition staff to develop and implement partnership-wide global child survival and nutrition advocacy strategy

  • Support integration of nutrition work into overall advocacy framework

  • Manage relationships including international partners, allies and, as appropriate, donors

  • Generate summaries of nutrition-focused research, messages, policy briefs and help build the evidence base for increased investment in child nutrition.

To apply:

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until position is filled. Please e-mail resume, cover letter specific to this position, and two relevant writing samples (no longer than 3 pages each. You may submit a longer sample if necessary, though only the first few pages will be reviewed.) to action_jobs@action.org.
