The Director will lead a complex multinational initiative operating across multiple African countries and engaging Ministries of Health, Africa CDC, implementing NGOs, academic institutions, community organizations, pharmaceutical companies, and philanthropic partners. The Director is responsible for translating strategic vision into operational execution while ensuring measurable improvements in access, quality, scale, sustainability, and health outcomes. The role requires exceptional abilities in global health leadership, program implementation, stakeholder engagement, workforce development, health systems strengthening, and organizational management.
