The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc.
UnspecifiedPosted today
The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to our mission of saving lives and reducing the burden of disease in low-and middle-income countries. We work at the invitation of governments to support them and the private sector to create and sustain high-quality health systems.
CHAI was founded in 2002 in response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic, with the goal of dramatically reducing the price of life-saving drugs and increasing access to these medicines in the countries with the highest burden of the disease. Over the following two decades, CHAI has expanded its focus. Today, along with HIV, we work with our partners to prevent and treat infectious diseases such as COVID-19, malaria, tuberculosis, and hepatitis. Our work has also expanded into cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and other non-communicable diseases, and we work to accelerate the rollout of lifesaving vaccines, reduce maternal and child mortality, combat chronic malnutrition, and increase access to assistive technology. We are investing in horizontal approaches to strengthen health systems through programs in human resources for health, digital health, and health financing. With each new and innovative program, our strategy is grounded in maximizing sustainable impact at scale, ensuring that governments lead the solutions, that programs are designed to scale nationally, and learnings are shared globally.
At CHAI, our people are our greatest asset, and none of this work would be possible without their talent, time, dedication, and passion for our mission and values. We are a highly diverse team of enthusiastic individuals across 40 countries with a broad range of skill sets and life experiences. CHAI is deeply grounded in the countries we work in, with the majority of our staff based in program countries. Learn more about our exciting work: http://www.clintonhealthaccess.org

Position Overview
CHAI is seeking a Senior Associate, Regional Support to provide strategic, analytical, fundraising, and operational support to the Regional Director and Country Directors across East Africa (Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda). The region carries a complex and evolving disease burden — spanning both communicable and non-communicable conditions — across health systems at markedly different stages of maturity.
In this role, you will engage substantively with programmatic information to produce actionable analysis, identify credible funding opportunities, and support high-quality strategic decision-making. You will serve as a trusted thought partner to regional leadership on operational improvements and cross-country coordination. This position offers close exposure to senior leaders and unique insight into key strategic global health issues, as well as how CHAI develops and executes strategies to address them. The role is a full-time position based in any CHAI program country in East or South Africa, with travel of up to 10% per year.

Demonstrated experience in proposal development, donor relations, fundraising, and partnership development.
