About the Role

Reports to: Regional Director

The programme in South Africa was set up in 1993, and is now one of the largest non-profit providers of sexual and reproductive health services in South Africa. The core service delivery channels are static centres plus micro-centres that take service delivery into informal settlements to increase accessibility to marginalised and most-at-risk groups. Through increased income-generation and increased donor funding, we plan to expand our service delivery model to include social marketing, social franchising and partnerships with other organisations.

The Country Director is responsible for delivering results for women and their families, driving programmatic excellence and implementing best practice at scale. Country Directors provide high quality services where they are needed the most, and their work directly contributes to preventing unnecessary deaths and making a sustainable impact on the lives of thousands of people every year.

Please see the job spec on our website for more information.

Candidate Profile

You do not need to have direct experience of sexual and reproductive health service delivery to apply for this role; what you do need is a passion for our mission and the work that we do. You will be a hands-on, commercially-minded manager, preferably with experience in the private health sector.

You have proven general management experience in operationally-demanding and challenging environments as well as experience designing and delivering strategic and annual business plans and generating income through donor funding and/or commercial activities. You know how to manage and improve the bottom line, and can generate, track and analyse management information and client data. At the same time as ensuring the highest standards of service delivery, you're motivated to deliver tangible results for the organisation and can manage change successfully. The successful candidate will be pro-choice.
