Overview of Role:
CHAI is seeking a highly motivated individual to help governments across Africa use advanced planning techniques (e.g., data-driven decision making) to help drive catalytic reductions in malaria cases and deaths. This person should be passionate about solving ever-changing, complex problems to make a positive impact to the world around them and contribute to a healthy and productive work environment.
As part of the Global Malaria Team, the Associate will provide direct support to all levels of government. Areas of support will include: developing malaria national strategic plans, conducting analysis to optimize the value of every dollar spent, working towards the strengthening of financial and programmatic data use for decision-making, improving the holistic management of programs, and seeking funding to support malaria programming.
This position reports to the Africa Manager for Malaria Strategy and Financing and will work in close collaboration with the CHAI Country Teams and Regional Technical Teams. Focus countries supported include, but are not limited to, Sierra Leone, Uganda, and Zimbabwe, though potential support may be required in other countries (e.g., Nigeria).
The Associate will bring outstanding analytical, problem-solving, organizational, and communication skills, and the Associate must be able to work independently and have deep personal commitment to producing results. A background in finance or malaria is not required, but may be an advantage. The Associate will be expected to be fluent in Excel. Most of all, this position requires resourcefulness, tenacity, patience, humility, and high ethical standards.
