- Manage the fellow recruitment and selection process through developing strategies for outreach, creating promotional materials, managing the application database (Wizehive) and application vetting process, as well as ensuring data integrity and smooth user experience. Design recruitment strategies to engage historically underrepresented groups in health leadership roles.
- Build relationships with fellows, conduct regular check-ins to understand their professional needs, solicit their feedback, and provide ongoing coaching and support.
- Develop and facilitate in-person and virtual events to foster community building and leadership development amongst the entire fellow class.
- Support networking and engagement of US public health organizations as recruitment and training partners.
- Support the work of the Community Impact Team to build-out alumni programming, networking opportunities, and ongoing professional development.
- Support the work of the Impact and Learning Manager to implement a robust monitoring and evaluation framework.
- Collaborate with GHC's global team to share best practices and resources, as well as regularly communicate updates about the US program.
- Contribute to the development of the US program budget.
