01
Role mandate
Produce a solutions-focused summit that connects problem owners, young changemakers, researchers and implementation partners.
Why this role exists now
A summit should create accountable next steps, not just panels and networking. HIF needs a format that moves selected problems into 90-day action.
02
Outcomes you would own
01
A costed, partner-ready summit concept and production roadmap.
02
A diverse challenge pipeline with clear selection criteria.
03
Facilitation formats that generate decisions and owned actions.
04
A post-summit accountability mechanism linked to the Living Lab.
Core responsibilities
Develop the summit proposition, program architecture and delivery plan.
Design challenge rooms, solution studios and accountable follow-up.
Coordinate speakers, facilitators, partners and participant access.
Set inclusion, safeguarding, sustainability and claims standards.
Publish decisions, owners and 90-day progress after the event.
03
Your first 90 days
Days 1–30
Listen, learn and locate the work
Complete HIF induction, role boundaries and required checks.
Review the Global Health Solutions Summit brief, evidence, partners and unresolved decisions.
Agree a 90-day workplan, communication rhythm and escalation map.
Days 31–60
Build the first useful thing
Develop and review the first audience-ready content prototype.
Invite review early from the people who will use or be affected by the work.
Record changes, risks and decisions instead of hiding uncertainty.
Days 61–90
Deliver, learn and hand over
Complete the agreed first milestone or document why it should change.
Review progress against success measures with your supervisor.
Publish a next-quarter plan and keep files ready for another volunteer.
04
What you need
Essential criteria
Complex event, conference, innovation-program or convening experience.
Strong production planning and stakeholder leadership.
Commitment to access, sustainability and action-oriented formats.
Desirable, not required
Health-sector or international hybrid-event experience.
Facilitation, sponsorship or media-production capability.
05
How good work will be judged
Success measures
The program privileges problem owners and implementers over prestige.
Every selected challenge leaves with an accountable next step.
The summit remains affordable, accessible and environmentally proportionate.
Decision rights & escalation
Set day-to-day priorities within the approved role brief and agreed hours.
Recommend changes to scope, timing or method and document the rationale.
Pause your own activity and escalate when safety, consent, quality or capacity is unclear.
Escalate budget commitments, external promises, partner agreements and material changes to Chief Executive Officer / Head of Communications.
Clinical, safeguarding, privacy and public-claim decisions remain with the named qualified approver.
Role boundaries
This is an unpaid volunteer role. It does not create an employment relationship or expectation of future paid work.
Do not represent HIF publicly, sign agreements or commit money unless authority is explicitly documented.
Use only approved systems for personal, partner or program information.
The agreed weekly commitment is a ceiling to manage, not a minimum to exceed silently.
This role does not provide clinical advice, diagnosis, treatment or unsupervised patient contact.
No travel is assumed. Any future travel would require a separate brief, risk review and written approval.
06
Support, learning and wellbeing
Executive sponsor and cross-functional production team.
Partnership, finance, communications and safeguarding review.
A go/no-go gate before venue or supplier commitments.
Scope and safety
Volunteers must not work outside their competence. Clinical, safeguarding and community-facing work requires role-specific supervision and escalation pathways.
Checks before you begin
Identity and right-to-volunteer confirmation.
One or two role-relevant references for leadership or higher-trust appointments.
Confidentiality, conflict-of-interest, privacy and code-of-conduct declarations.
07
How selection works
Evidence to include
A short statement explaining why this role and HIF’s health-equity mission fit your experience.
One specific example showing how you handled work relevant to events & engagement.
Your realistic availability against the published commitment of 4–6 hours per week.
Any required qualifications, registrations, portfolio links or work samples.
Conflicts, access needs or support adjustments you want the selection panel to consider.
Selection stages
Eligibility and completeness review
Assessment against the published essential criteria
Structured interview or practical conversation, if required
Relevant reference, credential and safeguarding checks
Outcome, induction and role-specific onboarding
Final selection decisions are made by people. AI is not used to automatically reject applicants.
