About Us:

Marie Stopes International is a global organisation providing personalised contraception and safe abortion services to women and girls. Our local teams of professionals are passionate about the work they do in communities across 37 countries. The services they provide give a woman the power to choose when she has children so that she’s free pursue her plans and dreams for herself and her family.

The primary responsibility of this role is to further MSI’s Goal: The Prevention of Unwanted Births and its mission of ensuring the individual’s right to: children by choice, not chance. 

The Role:

At a strategic level, you’ll be encouraging alignment between the current programmes and building news ones. This is not quite a greenfield opportunity but you’ll be responsible for its maturity - developing the KPIs, clinical and performance standards and the overall structure. You’ll also need to work consistently with the Programme Design & Development team to ensure that our bids are also properly structured.

About you:

We’re looking for someone with demonstrable experience of managing large, multi-year international health system strengthening projects – you’ll need the credibility of having been there and done it. Ideally, you should also have experience of a number of different international contexts, preferably in the area of health system strengthening. You will have a good understanding of the donor landscape (especially DfID and USAID) and a sound appreciation of adult learning principles and health systems strengthening approaches.

You’ll need to have a minimum of a bachelor degree or equivalent in public health, health administration, international health or similar field – further qualifications (Masters or PhD) would be an advantage.

In addition you will be pro-choice on abortion.
