Job at CHAI Career center-iCIMS : Senior Associate – Hepatitis Strategy, Access, and Country Support

 

 

Overview

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, 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 launched its viral hepatitis program in 2015 with the objective of catalyzing the launch of national HCV screening and treatment programs in seven high burden countries in Africa and Asia, driving increased affordability of medicines and diagnostics across LMICs. Building off initial lessons learned, efforts to dive scale-up towards elimination are underway.

 

Summary of Position
The Senior Associate will support the implementation and scale-up of CHAI’s hepatitis country programs in the Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) region with both supply and demand-side activities. The associate will be based in the SSA region and will support country teams as they begin to scale-up public viral hepatitis programs, helping to optimize policies and processes to ensure access to high quality hepatitis drugs and diagnostic testing. The associate will also need to support the development of programmatic tools (costing, forecasting, supply planning, M&E) and financing strategies that can be used in the development of public treatment programs.

 

Extensive travel will be required. The associate will report to the team program manager.
