Executive and Projects Officer at Healthy Brains Global Initiative (HBGI)

About the Job
The Healthy Brains Global Initiative aims to transform the way poor mental health is perceived, prevented, and treated globally. We use performance-based financing to fund high-impact mental health programs, focusing on the most underserved populations. By contracting service providers on the basis of outcomes, we incentivize innovation and localization — trusting that the people on the ground are the ones who know best how to effect real change — rather than funding processes in a top-down manner. We will either be contracting/funding directly as technical partners with governments.

• Support the CEO in developing and strengthening HBGI’s governance and ensuring all internal systems and relationships are working effectively
• Facilitate the management team and the Board, including scheduling, agendas, and minutes
• Facilitate the Lived Experience Council (LEC) and support LEC governance workstream;
• Lead on development of HBGI’s HR policies, including recruitment, contracting, and onboarding; ensure compliance with relative nonprofit law; deliver monthly progress reports (including on accounts with Finance Manager) and audits, and; assist in bid and proposal writing as well as research, as needed.

• A good degree from a well-regarded university
