About You

We are looking for a senior level professional with deep technical and sector expertise coordinating surveillance efforts for low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) across GHIs. Additionally, we seek:

  • An advanced degree in public health, global health, epidemiology, or similar fields (e.g. MSPH, MPH, MD, PhD), with demonstrated experience in disease surveillance and global health.
  • Significant experience working closely with partners to achieve health goals, including bilateral and multilateral donors and agencies (especially WHO and Global Fund); governments in LMIC (especially countries within Africa); implementing agencies; non-governmental organizations; think tanks; academic institutions.
  • Professional experience managing or implementing complex disease surveillance programs and strategies, and/or providing technical cooperation to national surveillance programs in emerging economies (preferably in Africa), including supporting bilateral and multilateral fund flows to LMIC governments.
  • Experience navigating complex relationships between multiple governmental, non-governmental and private sector partners, with tact and diplomacy.
  • Excellent written and oral communications skills and experience communicating with broad and diverse audiences. Ability to communicate in French and/or Portuguese will be an advantage.
  • Demonstrated experience working in cross-team programs and proven track record to adapt to a fast-paced environment and the networking and coalition-building demands of a highly matrixed organization. Ability to influence without authority.
  • Ability to see ahead to future possibilities, understand political economy, and develop strategies, concrete theories of change and actions taking these things into consideration.
  • Demonstrated ability to work with flexibility, efficiency, and diplomacy in a complex, fast-paced environment.
