Nairobi, Nairobi Area, Kenya ThinkWell Full time
ThinkWell is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of society as a means to achieve global prosperity. Since 2011, ThinkWell has helped over 30 countries to achieve long-lasting improvements to their health systems. We have staff and offices in the U.S., Switzerland, Philippines, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Burkina Faso, Mozambique, Kenya, and Uganda. In addition, we are working in more than 10 other countries on health financing and health systems issues.
Summary


Determined to transcend the status quo, ThinkWell was founded in 2011 to provide bold, creative, and practical solutions to helping low- and middle-income countries achieve universal health coverage.

While our core area of work is health financing, we take a "whole-of-systems" approach, specializing in five practice areas that intersect with health financing: governance, human resources for health, private sector, public financial management, and research and evaluation.

Responsibilities

ThinkWell Kenya provides technical support to strengthen health financing and improve how funds are allocated to achieve the goal of universal health coverage.

ThinkWell Kenya is about to embark on a new project that aims to support Kenya in advancing its strategy towards the elimination of cervical cancer.

We are seeking a Senior Technical Advisor to lead the implementation of this new project, as well as other health financing work.

This is a full-time position, initially for a year, and will be based at ThinkWell's office in Nairobi. The Senior Technical Advisor will report to Kenya's Country Director.

Technical Leadership

With support from the global and local teams, lead economic evidence generation to support the development of a cervical cancer elimination strategy for Kenya, including an investment case, funding gap analysis, and other relevant analyses.

Lead technical advocacy efforts to support policy change, resource mobilization, and efficient resource allocation to catalyze progress towards cervical cancer elimination in Kenya.

Provide direct technical assistance to Kenya's national cancer control team, EPI, and other government agencies involved in cervical cancer prevention.

Provide technical assistance to the Ministry of Health in developing a cervical cancer elimination strategy.

Establish and maintain relationships with key stakeholders in the cervical cancer elimination field in Kenya, building ThinkWells' reputation as a trusted partner of the government and its key partners and donors in this field.

Identify and leverage political and practical opportunities to influence priority setting, and convert cervical cancer elimination strategy and policy into action.

Develop high-quality, compelling technical and advocacy briefs, tailored to different technical and non-technical, public and private sector audiences.
Contribute to donor and internal reporting requirements.

Organizational Leadership and Development

Communicate with other ThinkWell directors and project managers globally to build, share, exchange and disseminate technical knowledge.

Represent ThinkWell with partners, donors and stakeholders at external meetings and forums at global and country level, actively engage key stakeholders, cultivate new business partnerships and concepts.

Publish papers, articles, and blogs. Present at conferences, and participate in technical working groups, build ThinkWell's reputation as a thought leader in the field.

Play a firm-wide leadership role, participate in company initiatives and teams to build intellectual and human capital in the technical area of specialization.

Mentor junior and mid-level technical staff members to support their growth, and support recruitment, as necessary.

You Are:

ThinkWell core competencies are foundational skills and behaviors that align with our values and are expected of all employees.

An entrepreneurial, results-oriented 'do-er' with a willingness to take risk, think big and challenge conventional wisdom.
A change maker who reaches independent judgement with an open mind, influences the conversation, and seeks innovation.

Able to help create an empowering environment in which everyone feels free to take initiative, be accountable and fail intelligently (learn from mistakes).

A collaborative colleague who engages constructively with people from different cultures, orientations, and perspectives and maintains positive relations in a virtual world.

Principally motivated by a growth mindset, meaning the pursuit of knowledge, experience, and self-improvement. You always question and continuously learn.
Authentic, honest, direct, self-aware and open to giving and receiving feedback.

Requirements

Master's degree in health economics, health financing, management, public policy, public health, or another relevant field with 7+ years of experience or a PhD with 6+ years of experience;
Substantive, relevant work experience in the specific area of technical expertise: health, cancer and/or immunization financing, health policy expertise, and advocacy;
