**The Foundation**
We are the largest nonprofit fighting poverty, disease, and inequity around the world. Founded on a simple premise: people everywhere, regardless of identity or circumstances, should have the chance to live healthy, productive lives. We believe our employees should reflect the rich diversity of the global populations we aim to serve. We provide an exceptional benefits package to employees and their families which include comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage with no premiums, generous paid time off, paid family leave, foundation-paid retirement contribution, regional holidays, and opportunities to engage in several employee communities. As a workplace, we’re committed to creating an environment for you to thrive both personally and professionally.
**The Team**
The Africa team works to enable the foundation’s ambitious goals of scaling evidence-based interventions that target a range of diseases and socio-economic challenges across Sub-Saharan Africa. The team implements its responsibility through direct country engagement to deploy interventions and delivery models, and by building the partner architecture to replicate successful interventions and models across multiple countries.

The postholder will provide this support to program leadership and staff of the Africa regional health and advocacy teams, in close coordination with the Strategy, Planning & Management (SPM) team.
The APO may also be required to support special projects on behalf of the leadership team and program officers such as driving the identification and implementation of process improvements in our program operations.

- Support data analysis and reporting, including manipulation of quantitative and qualitative data and working with 3rd party providers to analyze results.
- Synthesize and translate outputs from the research and analysis into insights, concepts, and practical next steps to inform investment, initiative, and program strategy design.
- Support other ad-hoc requests from the Africa regional team for research and analysis support.
- Support the design and development of investment concepts, initiative, and program strategies to advance the priorities of the Africa regional team.
- Support program activities as assigned by program leadership and staff and ensure the timely processing and the delivery of required materials.
2) Project management:
- Organize and facilitate internal partner meetings with program teams engaging in health, advocacy, and economic opportunity work in Africa; summarize grant activities and budgets as requested; support notetaking and dissemination of minutes and pertinent information to staff across Africa.
- Organize and facilitate external grantee/partner/donor coordination meetings, including writing briefing documents; organize workshops and learning sessions; coordinate field and site visits, including preparing documents and overseeing logistics.
- Track and coordinate follow-ups on requests for assistance and support from the Africa team; establish regular coordination within the Africa team around grants, contracts, budgets, reporting tools.
- Support effective coordination of/participation in cross-team coordination mechanisms such as country working groups, investment coordination forums, etc.
- Maintain knowledge management processes and tools for the Africa regional team.
**Your Experience**
- A minimum of 3 years of relevant experience in international development, public health management or the private sector.
- MBA, MPH, MPA, MA or other advanced degree in a relevant field is desirable.
