Deputy Director, Digital Transformation and AI Policy & Advocacy

The Foundation We are the largest nonprofit fighting poverty, disease, and inequity around the world. Founded on a simple premise: people everywhere, regardless of identity or circumstances, should have the chance to live healthy, productive lives. We believe our employees should reflect the rich diversity of the global populations we aim to serve. We provide an exceptional benefits package to employees and their families which include comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage with no premiums, generous paid time off, paid family leave, foundation-paid retirement contribution, regional holidays, and opportunities to engage in several employee communities. As a workplace, we’re committed to creating an environment for you to thrive both personally and professionally. The Team The mission of the Global Policy and 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 the foundation’s objectives nationally and globally. GPA works in close partnership with our colleagues in the Global Health, Global Development, Global Growth & Opportunity, and Gender Equality Divisions to build the environment in which all people have the opportunity to lead healthy and productive lives. Within GPA, the Program Advocacy & Communications (PAC) team partners directly with program strategy teams, such as Digital Public Infrastructure and Inclusive Financial Systems, to define and advance their policy and finance goals. The Deputy Director, PAC. Digital Transformation and AI Policy & Advocacy, will advance the policy and advocacy goals of two teams as well as support cross-cutting work on AI policy and advocacy: • The Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) team supports country efforts to design, scale, and govern safe and inclusive digital public infrastructure, including digital ID, data-sharing, and verifiable credentials. The team also ensures that AI-enabled services are built on trusted DPI foundations, and that people in underserved communities can access these services in local languages and contexts. To advance these goals, the DPI team invests in open-source digital public goods which countries can adapt and deploy to build DPI; technical assistance to help countries implement DPI and AI-enabled services underpinned by strong regulation and safeguards; research and measurement to inform policies
