Program Director - Health

As the Senior Program Director for Health, you help set the direction for our innovation efforts in public/global health.

You will identify organizations (government agencies, nonprofits, or corporates) to partner with, problem areas to focus on, and data sources relevant to those problems. Working closely with product managers, engineers, and researchers, you will help narrow down problem areas to specific use-cases that we will build solutions for.

Owning external partner and customer relations, you will plan and execute field experiments and pilots, which are central to our iterative approach to  innovation.

With the ultimate goal of ‘impact at scale,’ you will help external stakeholders transition the most promising pilots to scaled deployments.

IDEAL CANDIDATES

You are just what we are looking for if you are considered a leader in public health, respected for your experience and thoughtful understanding of challenges. In addition to the “what,” you understand the “why” behind public health policy and protocols. You have been involved in shaping programs, leveraging your insights from field experience.

You also have experience in implementing programs, including piloting and improving innovations - products or services - on the field, working with governments and nonprofits. You have extensive networks - professionals and organizations - that you can leverage for your work.

Additionally, any of the following would a bonus (but not required):

• Experience scaling interventions or programs in multi-stakeholder environments, after successful pilots.

• Experience working with cross-functional innovation teams to unearth new insights and build new products or services.

• Exposure to technology - especially machine learning and data science.
