Director – Adolescence, Marketing and Demand Generation, Africa
Location: Nairobi, Kenya
Competitive Package

The Director, Adolescence, will lead CIFF’s investments in demand-led platforms that empower the user of services. It will grow the market for sexual and reproductive health services using above-the-line advertising, through the line, tech enabled pathways, below the line, and peer-led channels (such as community health workers). Alongside this, it will drive supply-side innovation on service delivery, quality, scale and a transition to self-care in sexual health.
To drive the success of this programme, we are looking for a leader with the ability to distill complex strategies into simple, measurable, investment opportunities for leadership and potential partners.

This is an outstanding opportunity to create a new marketplace in sexual and reproductive health. The role requires in-depth knowledge of local markets in sub-Saharan Africa from supply and demand side perspectives and youth focused approaches.

This individual will have a strong business development background, with the ability to inspire, direct and manage the design of proposals to transform healthcare delivery, and present these to internal and external audiences to attract donor and investor interest. A proven track record of building high-level partnerships is essential.

You will come with highly developed people and organization development skills, and have the ability to support and motivate a team of dedicated professionals.

Beneficial would be an understanding of international public health and development, though demonstrated entrepreneurship will be valued more. Highly developed strategic thinking, analytics and financial acumen is key.
Outstanding communications skills – written and oral English – will be required. French is desirable. You enjoy working effectively and collaboratively as a senior leader, contributing to CIFF’s success globally.

Closing date: Monday 5 November
Prospectus interviews: 7 – 21 November
