You will promote best practice within your field of expertise and will work to ensure the highest quality and levels of efficiency. You are aligned with Cochrane’s core mission and vision, and you will be comfortable brokering relationships with representatives from key donors.

An environment where people feel welcome, heard, and included, regardless of their differences.
