Qualifications
Candidates must have substantial experience operating within African contexts, with a nuanced understanding of stakeholder dynamics in global health and development. Deep familiarity with ministry-level engagement and donor ecosystems is essential. Due to conflict of interest policies, applicants currently employed by a Ministry of Health or government agency cannot be considered. Experience working in Ghana is strongly preferred.
This is a remote position open to candidates in the UK or with demonstrated regional expertise in Africa. Salary will be discussed during initial screening, based on UK Grade M8 benchmarks.
