Job Opening at Living Goods

Job description

Your Charge

Our community health workers are natural connectors in their communities. They know the power of immunizations to prevent childhood deaths and family planning to prevent unplanned pregnancies. They also have trusting relationships with families necessary to increase vaccine and contraceptive coverage.
To match our community health workers as connectors in the community, we’re looking for a Program Manager to serve as the connector to donors. A passionate public health professional with a track record managing field-based public health programs. Knowledge of innovative ways to increase demand and coverage of immunizations and contraceptives. The ability to collaboratively manage projects from beginning to end. And the people skills to maintain strong relationships with external donors.

Your background

• Public Health experience. You have 8+ years experience working on public health programs or research and an MPH, MA or MS in public health, social sciences, international development or other related field.
• Project management skills. You know how to break down a project into manageable parts and timelines. From a strategy and budget, you can work with your colleagues to create activities and plans.
• Organizational skills. You thrive at creating order out of chaos and at setting and monitoring goals and objectives.
• Write well and speak simply. You can write about complex topics like family planning and immunization. Instead of a dense donor update you can write a readable report. You know how to hook people’s attention and tell a good story.
• Problem solving skills. You know how to identify problems and find solutions. You like to get things done in a structured, methodical way.
• Donor relations skills. You have worked on projects funded by multilateral or bilateral donors such as USAID, GAVI, DfID or The Global Fund. You know how to build and sustain the confidence of donors
• Lives our values. You can thrive in our culture – you can demonstrate inclusion, integrity, innovation, quick footedness, collaboration, and accountability.
• Committed to our mission. You have a demonstrable commitment to international development and global health.
• Get our model. Living Goods is a hybrid model. We’re a nonprofit organization with a private sector minded approach. We use private sector practices to achieve social goals. Candidates with for-profit and nonprofit experience preferred.
• Team player. You play well with others enjoy seeing the impact of our work as a team.
