Senior Communications Specialist
Panagora seeks a Senior Communications Specialist to join the dynamic team of the USAID Global Health Supply Chain Program-Procurement and Supply Management (GHSC-PSM) project.
GHSC-PSM is the primary vehicle through which USAID procures health commodities, provides technical assistance to improve partner countries' management of supply chains, and collaborates with key international stakeholders to support global health initiatives.
GHSC-PSM is a multi-billion-dollar USAID-funded objective and the largest project in the agency's history.
Supporting critical global health initiatives in HIV/AIDS, malaria, reproductive health, maternal and child health, Zika and COVID-19, the project encompasses three primary objectives:
global commodity procurement and logistics; systems strengthening to support in-country supply chain management; and collaboration via strategic engagement to improve the long-term global supply of health commodities.

The specialist has an eye for creative ways to generate written, graphic, and video content; a keen attention to editorial detail and branding oversight; and a strong sense of organization for managing technical and creative publications.
