Overview The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to saving lives and reducing the burden of disease in low-and middle-income countries, while strengthening the capabilities of governments and the private sector in those countries to create and sustain high-quality health systems that can succeed without our assistance. CHAI is looking for an Analytics and M&E Associate, eMTCT and Pediatric HIV. The Associate will be a part of the global eMTCT & Pediatric HIV team, which is primarily responsible for driving strategy development and execution of country and global activities to achieve ambitious goals to improve pediatric ART coverage in program countries through two key grants. Our overall goal is to help our ministry partners catalyze more rapid progress towards ambitious UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets for children by 2030 across program countries. The Analytics and M&E Associate will contribute significantly to these efforts by 1) designing and executing analytical models to find solutions to challenges across the pediatric HIV cascade; 2) synthesizing and visualizing results and promoting their use to optimize grant strategy and make policy recommendations; 3) conducting routine program monitoring and evaluation and 4) supporting development of and fundraising for new projects by analyzing and demonstrating their potential for impact. This is a challenging but rewarding position, which will have direct impact on thousands of children and adolescents in need of life-saving treatment. We are seeking a highly motivated individual with outstanding credentials, demonstrated communication skills, and analytical ability. The candidate must be able to function independently and flexibly, have the ability to think creatively and strategically, and have a strong commitment to excellence. CHAI places great value on relevant personal qualities: resourcefulness, a strong sense of responsibility, tenacity, independence, energy, and a committed work ethic.
