About the job
How would you like to shape the visual identity of a global health advocacy organization? How would you like to design materials that end up on the agendas at transnational health forums? And how would you like to do it for a young, rising NGO with soaring ambitions?
If your answer to the questions above is a resounding yes, then we'd love to hear from you. We're looking for a dedicated, ambitious volunteer to be the creative force behind how IDA looks and feels in the world.
You'll join the communications team where you will be responsible for developing and applying IDA's visual identity across social media, reports, presentations, event materials, and everything in between. To succeed in this role, you'll work closely with a social media manager, a videographer, and a medical journal editor. Good design is a team conversation, so you won't be working in a vacuum.

Ahhh, yes. Let's address the elephant in the room: This is a volunteer position, so why should you apply? Well, global resources for preventing and treating infectious diseases are unevenly distributed, to put it mildly. This imbalance has catastrophic consequences for hundreds of millions of people in the world's poorer regions. IDA is determined to change this.
