Every year, 1.3 million people lose their lives to viral hepatitis. Despite being preventable, treatable and, in some cases, curable, hepatitis remains one of the most overlooked global health challenges of our time.

​

The World Hepatitis Alliance is a global network of more than 450 member organisations across 130 countries exists to change that.

We are seeking an exceptional marketing and communications leader to shape our global voice, strengthen our international profile, and help accelerate progress towards the elimination of viral hepatitis by 2030.

​

This is an opportunity to lead marketing and communications for one of the world's leading global health advocacy networks, influencing policy conversations, mobilising communities, and ensuring the voices of people affected by hepatitis are heard around the world.

Welcome from the CEO

Thank you for your interest in working with the World Hepatitis Alliance (WHA).


Hepatitis is one of the most neglected health crises of our time. Every year, 1.3 million people die of hepatitis. Yet, with medical advances, we are now at a point where eliminating viral hepatitis is a real possibility. In 2016, every country in the world signed up to meet this goal, WHA played a significant role in making that promise happen, and we intend to hold those countries to it.


Through our new strategy, we will mobilise community organisations to help raise awareness, serve communities, and advocate for hepatitis elimination. We will ensure low- and middle-income countries are not left behind. We will raise the voices of the people and communities impacted by hepatitis to the global level to generate an unstoppable momentum to reach our goal.


People are at the heart of the hepatitis movement. Our staff team brings creativity, passion and hard work to our cause and together we achieve incredible things. It’s impossible to outline everything that you could experience being part of WHA, but
one thing I can promise, you will never be bored.


I wish you luck with your application.
