Head of Development and Public Engagement
Development Media International is a London-based organisation which has been pioneering new methods of conducting mass media campaigns to promote health in the developing world ( www.developmentmedia.net ). DMI is currently launching the world’s first scientific trial to measure how many children’s lives can be saved using mass media campaigns alone. This major, five-year project is located in West Africa, working with the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM).
The trial is based on a statistical model developed by DMI and LSHTM which predicts that approximately 15% of child mortality could be prevented using mass media alone, at a lower cost than any existing health intervention. The model also predicts that if we were able to run comprehensive, national-level campaigns over 5 year periods in 10 countries, we could save over a million lives. This is our goal. We are now looking for an outstanding person to help us raise the funds necessary to actually save those million lives.
This post, based in London, will suit someone with strong experience of business development and/or fundraising. We are open to candidates coming from the international development/charities field but will consider outstanding candidates from the private sector/consultancy fields.
To apply please send a completed registration form, your CV (max. 2 pages) and a cover letter (max. 2 pages) which systematically outlines why your experience fits the job description and skills requirements. Please send to jobs@developmentmedia.net by end of Wednesday 13 July. Applicants may also attend one of 2 presentations on DMI’s work, detailed in the job description.
