Manager, Maximum Impact Incubator

Overview

The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to our mission of saving lives and reducing the burden of disease in low-and middle-income countries. We work at the invitation of governments to support them and the private sector to create and sustain high-quality health systems.

 

CHAI was founded in 2002 in response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic, with the goal of dramatically reducing the price of life-saving drugs and increasing access to these medicines in the countries with the highest burden of the disease. Over the following two decades, CHAI has expanded its focus. Today, along with HIV, we work in conjunction with our partners to prevent and treat infectious diseases such as COVID-19, malaria, tuberculosis, and hepatitis. Our work has also expanded into cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and other non-communicable diseases, and we work to accelerate the rollout of lifesaving vaccines, reduce maternal and child mortality, combat chronic malnutrition, and increase access to assistive technology. We are investing in horizontal approaches to strengthen health systems through programs in human resources for health, digital health, and health financing. With each new and innovative program, our strategy is grounded in maximizing sustainable impact at scale, ensuring that governments lead the solutions, that programs are designed to scale nationally, and learnings are shared globally.

 

At CHAI, our people are our greatest asset, and none of this work would be possible without their talent, time, dedication, and passion for our mission and values. We are a highly diverse team of enthusiastic individuals across 40 countries with a broad range of skill sets and life experiences. CHAI is deeply grounded in the countries we work in, with the majority of our staff based in program countries. Learn more about our exciting work: 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.

 

Program and Position Overview

CHAI has established a team to identify and incubate programs across its entire portfolio that generate significant health impact through highly cost-effective programming. This 'Maximum Impact Incubator' team has the exciting and challenging aim of evaluating and prioritizing the most cost-effective and scalable opportunities for new programs, maximizing the benefit of available resources. 

 

In this role, you will engage with CHAI program and country teams, philanthropic partner(s) and senior leadership to source, evaluate, prioritize, recommend, and seek funding for highly cost-effective health programs. You will work closely with technical and generalist staff on the Incubator team, CHAI program and country teams, and other stakeholders to conduct rigorous analysis of prospective programs. Activities will include organizing a portfolio of program reviews, managing communications across CHAI’s diverse program and country teams, and leading synthesis of Incubator findings for communications with internal stakeholders and external donors.

 

This is the perfect opportunity for someone with a curious and analytical mind who wants to lead a team to drive genuine impact as we scale programs that will provide the maximum benefit to the lives of millions of people. This role is flexible to be based in a CHAI program country outside the United States, pending Country Leadership approval.

Responsibilities

• Collating data on costs and effects of high-impact interventions, including through literature reviews, discussions with CHAI program and country teams, and engagement with external experts
• Critically evaluating the strength of the evidence base for interventions, identifying data gaps and uncertainties
• Conducting cost-effectiveness analysis to compare the impact of interventions per dollar spent and evaluate factors and uncertainties influencing conclusions
• Establishing and maintaining relationships with donors to build consensus on the strategic framework and impact modelling
• Design monitoring & evaluation systems to demonstrate the impact of the program and address uncertainties identified in the cost-effectiveness analysis
• Synthesizing outputs both internally and externally through high-quality presentations, reports, and publications

Skills

We are seeking exceptional and highly motivated individuals with a genuine desire to maximize global health outcomes.  An ideal candidate will be described as:

• Intellectually curious – You have a desire to dig deeper than the surface, asking questions like: Why does this intervention perform better than another? What does this new information mean for my current conclusions? How might this intervention look different in another country?
• Insightful – You draw cogent conclusions from large amounts of analysis, sharing what is relevant for real-world challenges the Incubator team is trying to address
• Practical – You demonstrate judgment in how you allocate your efforts when balancing multiple priorities, focusing on the most decision-critical aspects, and dynamically changing these priorities in response to changing circumstances
• Analytical – You are comfortable working with large amounts of quantitative and qualitative data and effectively extracting logical conclusions and recommendations from this analysis
• Communicative – You can respectfully and effectively navigate varied and sensitive stakeholder environments, including in-country teams to senior donor executives
• Rigorous – You take pride in your work and have high standards for what you produce, creating analysis that can stand up to the scrutiny of internal and external parties
• Passionate – You are passionate about helping improve global health as much as possible

There is no 'perfect' candidate for this role.  We are seeking dedicated and passionate individuals who want to make a difference in global health outcomes.  Whatever your background, if this role excites you, please apply.
