Position Overview

Partners In Health (PIH) is a nonprofit global health and social justice organization fighting injustice by bringing the benefits of modern medical science to impoverished communities around the world. We believe health is a human right, and we stand up for the world’s most vulnerable people, in defense of our shared humanity. Across eleven countries, we respond to the moral imperative to provide high-quality health care to those who need it most, offering care that addresses both the biological and social determinants of health.

The mission of PIH’s Marketing and Communications team is to grow our base of supporters by disseminating the right message to the right audience by efficiently using all available channels. Central to the Marketing and Communications team is our External Relations division, which oversees all efforts to boost awareness through media relations, celebrity and influencer engagements, and now, entertainment partnerships.

PIH is looking for an experienced entertainment professional to create and manage partnerships with major brands, influencers, and entertainment networks. Under the guidance of a lead, this role will help define the strategic direction for entertainment-focused partnerships, allowing PIH to actively participate in content co-creation opportunities and promotional activities at the intersection of health equity, social justice, and pop culture.
