The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to saving lives and reducing the burden of disease in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs), while strengthening the capabilities of governments and the private sector in those countries to create and sustain high-quality health systems that can succeed without our assistance. For more information, please visit: http://www.clintonhealthaccess.org.
CHAI is an Equal Opportunity Employer, and is committed to providing an environment of fairness, and mutual respect where all applicants have access to equal employment opportunities. CHAI values diversity and inclusion, and recognizes that our mission is best advanced by the leadership and contributions of people with diverse experience, backgrounds, and culture.
The position would be on CHAI’s Global Diagnostics Team (GDT) who play a lead role at CHAI in helping to increase access to high quality, reliable and affordable diagnostic services across LMICs. This includes work that improves the overall laboratory system and ensures the timely and scaled rollout of the most appropriate screening, diagnostics and monitoring technologies.
CHAI is currently funded under a contract with the European Investment Bank to provide technical assistance to the governments of Côte d’Ivoire, Democratic Republic of Congo and Malawi and a to-be-named 4th country to explore the potential for public private partnerships to strengthen their laboratory systems and create long-term improvements in healthcare delivery. CHAI is tasked to assess, design, negotiate and implement a public private partnership between partner governments and their respective private partners in order to realize this target impact.
This role will guide the CHAI project country teams to deliver rigorous and evidence-based guidance throughout the process. They will ensure that the PPPs are designed in such a way as to maximize positive impacts and avoid any unintended consequences. They will use their expertise on health systems to look at the macro level impact introducing major private sector players could have on the laboratories sector as well as on wider health service provision. They will play a lead role in negotiating with Ministries of Health and Finance, defining the scope of public private partnerships and supporting country governments to procure private providers to meet the needs of their laboratory systems.
We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced individual with strong leadership skills, deep technical expertise in resource-limited health systems, and firm commitment to contributing towards CHAI and GDT’s strategic goals.
The candidate must be able to work independently and flexibly, prioritize across multiple workstreams, manage teams and provide senior leadership. The Associate Director Health Systems will report to the AHDP Project Team Lead/ Health Sector Expert on the Global Diagnostics Team. All applications will be treated in the strictest confidence. CHAI places great value on relevant personal qualities: resourcefulness, responsibility, tenacity, independence, energy, and work ethic.
