Job
Title: Global
Health Catalyst
Organization: Alight
Duty Station:
Kampala, Uganda
About US:
Alight exist to
inspire and unleash the abundance in every person. We’re becoming an
organization that sees possibility instead of scarcity, that provides services
truly worthy of human beings instead of just ‘good enough.’ From the people we
serve to the people who serve alongside us, our purpose is to unlock limitless
potential, together. That’s when abundance happens.
Job Summary: The Global Health Catalyst will support our
senior health and nutrition advisors in 7 country programs to achieve our
collective global and individual country-level goals. You will use your
background in public health, experience in leadership development, and strong
orientation to human-centered design to help us achieve a fundamentally
different model of humanitarian health programming. Simply put, your purpose
will be to motivate and support our health and nutrition staff globally to
transform our programming to be compassionate, radically patient-focused, and
of human-worthy quality. You’ll be guided by and receive support from the
Minneapolis-based Senior Global Health Advisor.
Key Duties and Responsibilities:
Area of Work – 90%
- You recognize that the global humanitarian crisis requires new ways
of addressing persistent challenges. It’s going to be your job to promote
a model of health programming that is higher quality and more relevant,
human, and impactful specifically because it has been designed for and
with the end-user: the patient. You are not afraid to challenge the status
quo or test bold solutions. You enjoy co-creating with others within and
outside the health sector to drive innovation, ensure that the patient is
always our “North Star”, and that our quality is always a cut above the
rest. - You understand how to continually improve the household-to-hospital
continuum of care in humanitarian settings, as well as ensure the design
and delivery of person-centered health programs. Much of your day will be
spent engaging with our country health teams virtually or in person to
collaborate on health and nutrition program design, developing and
iterating systems to improve the quality of health service delivery, and
mentoring staff to learn and grow both technically as well as in
leadership skills. - You value the importance of context and like being on the go. You
will spend a lot of time in our country offices and field sites working
directly with country leadership, health and nutrition sector leadership,
direct service providers, and our clients to ensure shared purpose,
strategy alignment, and human-worthy services.
New or Interesting
Projects/Progressive Responsibilities – 10%
- Lean into the things you love and spark your interest, within or
outside your team. We need you to honor the work that you’ve committed to
doing, but also know that when you are unleashed, so are we.
Qualifications, Skills and Experience:
- You are an exceptional mentor and good listener, with the ability to
create and nurture a shared learning environment, foster open and engaging
dialogues, and build dynamic and committed teams. - You are curious and always improving upon your knowledge. You have
an MPH or related degree with a breadth of practical experience to back it
up. - You embrace entrepreneurial approaches; have an infectious
enthusiasm for public health; and are devoted to refugees, internally
displaced people, migrants, and communities affected by or recovering from
conflict and emergency. - This isn’t your first time around the block—as such, you’ve had
experience in an advisory role for an INGO, social enterprise, or donor,
and you’ve used human-centered design approaches to develop and implement
health innovations in humanitarian and/or developing country settings. You
have existing global health networks that you can leverage to engage
unique, diverse, or unlikely partnerships or unlock new donors. - You enjoy health program design, human-centered design, developing
and managing quality improvement processes, and cultivating leadership
development and learning opportunities for colleagues. - You are talented at managing expectations and your own time. You’re
not scared of constantly needing to adjust priorities, working under
pressure, and engaging staff in new ways of thinking and doing. - You work well with a lot of freedom and do you best work in a
culture that does the doable with whatever resources we have.
