CHAI is building on its successful work in HIV and malaria treatment to support the development and execution of ambitious new efforts to strengthen and streamline the supply chain both to and in developing countries for high quality and essential health products in a sustainable manner in order to increase levels of accessibility. These efforts will focus on a number of countries in creating market structures that can assure that products are high quality, widely available and affordable. In parallel, CHAI is leading efforts to develop mechanisms to deploy new information and communication technologies effectively in order to streamline supply chains and/or increase demand for products.
CHAI is recruiting a number of Supply Chain Managers, each of whom will be responsible for establishing, implementing and coordinating CHAI’s Supply Chain strategy in a specific African country. Reporting to The Director of Supply Chain Management, the Supply Chain Managers will work across all levels of the private and public sector supply chains related to selected essential health products, providing technical and operational assistance to put into effect the concrete implementation plans which they would have been heavily involved in creating. The Supply Chain Manager will be able to display a very high degree of credibility, borne out by proven supply chain experience at an operational and technical level. The Supply Chain Manager will have a practical understanding of relevant drivers and motivations across different supply chains and be able to devise and implement strategies and tactics that are innovative and go far beyond the established status quo. The Supply Chain Manager will spend ~20% of his/her time travelling domestically, primarily to regions with limited facilities. Limited levels of international travel are also anticipated.
Salary: $50,000 – $60,000 per year
