**The Foundation**
We are the largest nonprofit fighting poverty, disease, and inequity around the world. Founded on a simple premise: that people everywhere, regardless of identity or circumstances, should have the chance to live healthy, productive lives. By building a global and cultural workplace that supports greater diversity, equity, and inclusion — of voices, ideas, and approaches — together with our employees and partners, we can help all people improve their lives from poverty and health to education. As an organization we offer full healthcare premiums coverage, generous paid time off, contribution to your retirement fund, several employee communities, and a commitment to embedding diversity, equity, and inclusion into everything we do.
**The Team**
The mission of the Global Policy & Advocacy (GPA) division is to understand and shape the public policy debates affecting the foundation's work, build support for its major program and policy objectives, and develop partnerships and alliances that can advance our objectives nationally and globally. Because the foundation's resources alone are not enough to solve the challenges ahead, GPA also supports advocacy efforts to engage diverse partners and promote innovative solutions that advance our program goals. We work in close partnership with grantees, our colleagues in the Global Health (GH), Global Development, Global Growth & Opportunity, U.S. and Gender Equality programs and Foundation Communications to build the environment in which all people have the opportunity to lead healthy and productive lives.
This role will be part of the Europe, Middle East and East Asia team which leads the foundation’s geographic presence in the largest donor countries outside North America and China, covering Europe (with a focus on UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Nordics, Netherlands and European Union institutions), the Middle East (Arab league countries) and the Asia-Pacific region (Japan, South Korea and Australia). Our focus is on government donors, and we are most active in Europe, whose governments represent over half of global foreign aid. However, the nature of our work means that we also frequently engage with non-government actors such as the media, civil society organizations, think-tanks and academic institutions as we seek to make the case for sustained commitment to international development programs.
This position will support our government relations, advocacy and policy work in Germany and will be based in our Berlin office. The Berlin office leads EMEEA’s continental European government relations and advocacy grantee management.
**Your Role**
The **Program Officer, Government Relations & Policy, Germany**, will support the advocacy, government relations and policy work to advance the mission of the foundation in Germany, particularly, but not exclusively, on GH and GH Research & Development (R&D). Around 10% of this position will support the foundation's Germany-specific philanthropic work, supporting the Europe Director and collaborating with our Philanthropic Partnerships Team (PPT); the position will also support the foundation’s EU work.
This postholder will provide policy research and analysis in support of our advocacy work and help in implementing our Germany specific advocacy strategies. They will report to and will work closely with the country lead for Germany and engage with political partners, grantees and other relevant external and internal contacts. The Program Officer will communicate and interact effectively with individuals across all political parties and partners.
Germany has become an international leader for development and Global Health. A priority of this position will be to work with internal partners and the foundation leadership as well as with external partners to raise awareness for the importance of German leadership for global development and GH. The postholder will support the Germany team to further the foundation’s engagement with the German Government and Parliament and support ongoing and prospective partnerships.
The position will report to the Head, Germany Relations.
**What You'll Do**
- Support the Foundation’s heads of Germany relations in drafting and implementing the respective policy and government relations strategies by taking into consideration both external as well as internal strategic priorities.
- Help build, nurture, and manage the relationships with a broad range of political and ministerial partners and expand our broader relationship network with think tanks, philanthropy, academia, civil society and the private sector.
- Lead (and directly manage external support through consultants) on specific policy research that guide our advocacy work, manage policy paper development and work with partners such as civil society organizations and think tanks on advocating for policy issues regarding the foundation’s key priorities.
