We draw on our expertise in policy, advocacy, and financing to work with organisations who share our commitment to driving mental health up the political agenda – and securing additional funding for mental health at national and global level. We founded and act as the secretariat for the Global Mental Health Action Network, an open coalition of mental health professionals of over 10,000 individuals and organisations across 170 countries. 

    About you 
    Our ideal candidate is a dependable, detail-oriented communicator who genuinely enjoys the practical delivery of communications outputs. You are highly organised, skilled at managing multiple tasks, and comfortable keeping the gears of a busy communications function turning.

    • Monitoring, evaluation, and reporting – create regular analytic reports for social, website and email channels. 
    • Editorial planning and communications calendar management – lead on the maintenance of the organisation’s communications calendar, ensuring content across channels is planned-in-advance of key advocacy moments.

    • Exceptional Copywriting: A skilled writer with a track record of crafting engaging copy for varied audiences. Note: We want an authentic writer who cares deeply about the words they craft, rather than someone whose first instinct is to rely on LLMs/AI to generate content.

    • Organisation & Delivery: Highly organised with experience providing team administrative support and the ability to prioritise a busy workload under tight deadlines.

    Closing date: 9am (UK time) on Monday 13th July.

    The Opportunity

    Join United for Global Mental Health as our Multimedia Producer and help drive the global mental health agenda forward. In this new role, you will be the bridge between our evidence-led policy work and what our key audiences see and feel, by crafting content that influences and moves them. You will lead the creation of bold, professional-grade multimedia assets that amplify our advocacy and help to secure funding. If you are a creative storyteller driven to make mental health advocacy unforgettable, we want to hear from you.

    About Us

    United for Global Mental Health is dedicated to creating a world that enables good mental health for all. We draw on our expertise in policy, advocacy, and financing to work with organisations who share our commitment to driving mental health up the political agenda – and securing additional funding for mental health at national and global level. We founded and act as the secretariat for the Global Mental Health Action Network, an open coalition of mental health professionals of over 10,000 individuals and organisations across 170 countries. 

    About You

    This is a high-impact role designed to serve as UnitedGMH’s and GMHAN’s in-house creative engine. Following the development of our new Communications Strategy, this position will focus on producing bold multimedia content. You will be responsible for elevating the visual identity of the organisation, ensuring that our evidence-led advocacy is translated into world-class video, data visualisation, and graphic design that captures the attention of global decision-makers, advocates and donors.

    Key Responsibilities

    1. High-End Video & Audio Production

    Signature Podcast: Lead the end-to-end production of the new UnitedGMH ‘podcast clips’ always-on product, including recording, editing, and the creation of high-quality “social-first” video clips.

    Staff Commentary and Thematic Films: Coach and directly film UnitedGMH experts and partners to produce professional, timely commentary and thematic films that cement our reputation as sector leaders. 

    Field Storytelling: Capture and edit evergreen Global Mental Health Action Network (GMHAN) member stories and policy case studies during global advocacy moments (e.g., World Health Assembly, UN General Assembly) to build a powerful library of movement-building content.

    2. Graphic Design & Data Visualisation

    Evidence Translation: Work closely with policy leads to turn complex data into bold visualisations that make mental health statistics instantly understandable and moving. 

    Brand Guardianship: Act as the lead designer for UnitedGMH assets, including reports, to ensure digital assets consistently meet a “memorable thought leader” standard. This role requires a high-quality design track record utilising professional design software (e.g., Adobe Creative Suite); we are seeking an original creator, not a ‘Canva designer’.

    Donor Communications: Create bespoke, high-quality creative assets for major donor and partnership moments (e.g., Wellcome, Pinterest, lululemon).

    3. Digital Growth & Website Optics

    Always-On Paid Ads: Design, test, and deliver creative assets for “always-on” paid advertising campaigns across platforms such as Meta and LinkedIn to drive GMHAN network growth, advocacy awareness, and donor prospecting.

    Website Upheaval: Lead on the visual “optics” and user experience (UX) of the UnitedGMH website, ensuring it functions as a high-performing advocacy hub.

    Channel Innovation: Support the Comms Officer and Comms Advisor in creating visually engaging content for the workstreams they deliver.

    Competencies & Skills

    • Multimedia Expertise: Advanced proficiency in video editing (e.g., Premiere Pro, CapCut), audio production, and the Adobe Creative Suite (After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign).
    • Creative Translation: The ability to take “dry” policy evidence and transform it into a compelling visual narrative that triggers action.
    • Strategic Targeting: Understanding how to tailor creative content for specific high-level audiences, including government ministers and global health journalists.
    • Self-Starter Output: Able to manage a high-volume production schedule and deliver high-quality products with limited supervision, sometimes while travelling for global events.
    • Travel: Willingness to travel internationally to support at global events up to 5 times per year for up to a week at a time.
    • Technical Proficiency: Experience with podcasting platforms (e.g., Riverside) and paid social ad platforms.
    • Dynamic Adaptability: Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, fluid environment with evolving processes and shifting priorities. We are a globally-distributed, collaborative, friendly team, but we move quickly and organically; you will thrive if you enjoy working across multiple projects simultaneously, building relationships with various stakeholders, and bringing creative structure to a busy, fast-moving landscape.

    Nice to have

    • Motion Graphics: Experience in professional motion design and animation to bring static data, reports, and digital campaigns to life.
    • Sector Expertise: Demonstrable experience delivering high-quality communication materials specifically related to international development, global advocacy, global health and/or mental health.
    • Ethical Content Production: A clear track record of remotely commissioning and managing local photographers and videographers for global event coverage and case study collection, strictly adhering to ethical communication and informed consent principles.
    • Additional language skills: Note this position requires fluent English.

    Unfortunately, we are not able to recruit team members in the following countries/regions: Afghanistan, Belarus, Central African Republic, Cuba, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Myanmar (Burma), North Korea, Russia, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Ukraine (specifically the occupied regions of Crimea, Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhya), Venezuela, Yemen, and Zimbabwe.

  • Chief Executive Officer

    Ending child marriage. Realising girls’ rights and futures.

    Girls Not Brides is a global partnership with a singular purpose: to end child marriage. We envision a world where girls in all their diversity decide if, when, and whom to marry and where their rights and futures are fully realised.

    To achieve this urgent goal, we’ve built a movement of more than 1,400 grassroots, national, and international organisations across nearly 100 countries. We know we can achieve more together than we ever could alone, which is why we mobilise, equip, and influence our ecosystem to address the political, social, legal, and economic conditions that allow the practice to persist. Inspired by shared purpose, we will influence systems change, harness collective power, and build a future free from child marriage.

    We are seeking an inspiring and dynamic Chief Executive to lead Girls Not Brides through its next phase. This is a rare opportunity to guide a global partnership with deep reach, strong credibility and the potential to accelerate lasting progress towards a world where child marriage is history. As Chief Executive, you will be the external face, strategic leader and organisational head of Girls Not Brides. Reporting to the Board, you will set direction, strengthen performance, sustain critical partnerships, and ensure the organisation has the internal clarity, culture and capability to deliver. You will represent Girls Not Brides with governments, funders, multilateral institutions, civil society partners and the wider movement to end child marriage, while opening new partnerships, allies and resource streams.

    Leadership of Girls Not Brides is an opportunity to bring conviction, judgement and humanity to one of the defining girls’ rights challenges of our time. You will be an accomplished external-facing civil society leader, with deep fluency in girls’ rights, gender or a related development field, strong political judgement, exceptional relationship-building skills, and the credibility to engage across grassroots organisations, governments, funders, faith and cultural leaders, and multilateral spaces. Above all, we are seeking a values-driven leader with an unwavering commitment to ending child marriage, a belief in collective strength, and the informed agility to lead in a complex and changing landscape.

    If you are an exceptional leader with the conviction, credibility and strategic clarity to help realise a future free from child marriage, we would be delighted to hear from you.
