Description
Director / Head, Impact
52% of the world can’t access essential healthcare: we’re a business that does something about it. Join us.
reach52 is dedicated to reaching the 52% of the world without access to essential healthcare. The social-business model started by training health workers to run data-driven public health campaigns (funded by donors and B2B partners; with campaigns over 20 health topics run by over 16,500 health workers in India, Indonesia, Kenya, South Africa and the Philippines); but has now expanded to include distribution of affordable, high-quality essential medicine that lowers out-of-pocket health costs, and provides sustainable revenue to fund the public health activities. reach52 is now near-nationwide across India, and continues expansion across Asia and Africa.
Why work with us? We are challenging established business norms, with a new value proposition to build a socially-minded, sustainable models that can serve half the planet. You get to be creative, move fast, own truly important things, grow, learn, and help people. We’re not a charity, we are redesigning how affordable healthcare is delivered through truly innovative, efficient business and service delivery models.
We already work with over half of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies, a number of major NGOs, national and local governments, and have footholds in six markets. We have a great team, and we will be expanding rapidly over the next year/s and entering a number of new markets, particularly in Africa, and launching a number of new innovations and services that help us enable our mission at-scale.
We’re just getting started though, so get onboard: do something that matters.
Who are we looking for?
Title : Director / Head, Impact
Contract type: Full-time, permanent
Start Date: January 2025
Location : Nairobi, remote Africa
Reporting to: CEO Office or Head of Impact, depending on seniority
Our Impact team is key to our mission and value. So far we have trained over 16,000 Community Health Workers, run public health programs across 20+ health areas, and currently run around 10,000 health education and screening events per month across India . We plan to expand extensively in Africa and continue to grow within India too.
We are looking for a senior hire to grow and run our Africa Impact team. This role will be pivotal to allow us to keep our focus on mission-aligned public health and health worker/doctor training as we get to scale - and given the rapid expansion of our essential medicines business) it will only get more exciting as we become free to focus on local health priorities independently.
What you’ll do
Key duties will include:
Involvement in Africa management team - strategy, direction, operating plans, OKRs
Building Impact as a continent-wide organization - building our core structure for the region
Supporting local data collection and localisation of our plans - including overall accountability for delivery and program management
Sourcing, evaluating and overall management of any implementing partners that we might use to support out Impact programs
Driving and owning all supporting functions (such as medical education or public health program design, content, etc)
Working on partnerships, fundraising and other critical activities to enable the team as a whole
Oversee and ensure rigorous monitoring and evaluation of our activities across the region / globally
Represent reach52 at conferences, events and external engagement
Support recruitment, team management, coaching and professional development and
Continually look to innovate and introduce better ways of working across the business
Who you are (probably!)
We’re reasonably sure you should have a profile like this, but we can flex sometimes:
10+ years in public health - ideally with a mix of program delivery, some social business exposure, and extensive experience in innovative new service delivery models
5+ years experience in team management and leadership positions with knowledge of strategy through to operational execution
Extensive knowledge of health / healthtech and emerging markets operations
If applicable, lead in-country/regional Implementation team and field force and ensure delivery of health campaign
Support government partnership development and engagement locally, regionally and globally – including multilaterals and donors, where applicable
Funder / partner management for ongoing programs and reporting oversight, if there is an external funder
Experience in a start-up-like setting and demonstrated ability to think quickly and independently
High autonomy, entrepreneurial mindset. Ability to see the big picture and then own the details
A passion for healthcare access, innovation, and social impact – 52% of the world can’t access healthcare, our goal is to solve this, and you need to inspire people to push towards our mission
An agile, hardworking and growth mindset, able to thrive in a fast-paced environment – grow, pivot, grow…
Robust analytical skills and an ability to process complex information to define clear direction and strategy – we love data-driven impact models
Love dynamism and an ever-changing set of challenges and projects to work on – we have a lot going on, but its working!
