The Role
At Last Mile Health, we make bold commitments that inspire innovation. Do you have demonstrated experience as a Technical or Project Director for large, complex donor-funded international development programs? If so, you may be our next Technical Director for the USAID-funded Strengthening Integrated Health Services (SIHSA) Activity.
Last Mile Health is seeking a Deputy Chief of Party/Technical Director (DCoP/TD) for an expected 5-year, estimated $25-$49 million health systems strengthening (HSS) project in Sierra Leone. The USAID-funded Strengthening Integrated Health Systems Activity (SIHSA) will seek to achieve three key objectives: 1) improve the quality of family planning, maternal newborn child and adolescent health, and malaria services sustainably; 2) promote the adoption of crucial health behaviours, and 3) strengthen the stewardship and governance of the Ministry of Health and Sanitation, both at central and district levels, so it is better prepared to plan, budget, allocate resources and monitor health programs.
The DCoP/TD will have both technical and administrative responsibilities. Technical responsibilities include the ability to generally understand the range of the project’s technical activities, the performance of senior and mid-level staff overseeing those activities, and the ability to assess the technical performance of the project and staff. Administrative responsibilities include routine liaising with the client, management of staff, overseeing of project budgets, and overall planning and management of the project.
This position is project-funded, located in Freetown, Sierra Leone, and is open to both Sierra Leonean Nationals and International Candidates. This position will be hired on a fixed-term contract and is contingent upon a successful award.
