Managing Director of Climate, Health & Development | Global Health Visions | Remote
Global Health Visions seeks a proven leader to guide us in building and developing an ambitious portfolio focused on meeting the increasing and urgent demand for effective solutions and impact at the intersections of climate, health, and development. The Managing Director will serve as an integral member of the GHV team, a women-owned & operated virtual consulting organization on a mission to tackle the biggest issues of our time.
GHV is committed to addressing climate change as a threat to development and well-being across agriculture, nutrition, conservation, and global health. We also recognize the need to integrate principles of equity and justice in creating sustainable and resilient solutions that benefit all people, especially those most vulnerable to climate change impacts.
Our work in this space has grown organically, and this portfolio currently includes projects focused on climate adaptation advocacy, nutrition, agricultural development, and women’s economic empowerment. The Managing Director will oversee this portfolio’s intentional growth by building on existing work and developing and executing a strategy for securing new client partners.
The Managing Director will leverage diverse and deep networks across issues and sectors. We seek a bridge-builder with experience in multiple sectors, including—but not limited to—climate action, climate adaptation, policy and advocacy, environmental sustainability, food systems, and biodiversity. We see clients—typically donors, NGOs, multi-laterals, and the private sector—as partners we work with to co-create solutions. The ideal candidate will deeply understand the impact those partners seek to achieve and match that to our expertise, tools, and talent. The Managing Director will be a major contributor to partner development, managing partner engagements, and representing GHV externally while also managing and inspiring a small team and contributing to GHV’s broader strategic goals.
As a member of the Senior Leadership Team, the Managing Director will work closely with several peer Managing Directors, the CEO, the Chief Strategy Officer, and the Chief Operating Officer to support and drive key strategic decision-making for the organization. A small team dedicated to partner development will support the Managing Director in identifying, pursuing, and securing new partners.
A manager of managers, this role supports Directors and Deputy Directors with the tools, coaching, and resources needed to ensure their team members continue to develop skills and deliver projects that meet our partners’ needs. The Managing Director is curious about how GHV might continue to live into our values and ways of working and is committed to building a more equitable and inclusive company and field.
