About The Position

• Ability to work independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced consulting environment.

• Working knowledge of AI-enabled tools and processes relevant to public health operations, with the ability to translate technical AI concepts into accessible, actionable guidance for frontline staff and local partners with varying levels of technical comfort.
• A deep commitment to health equity and a desire to build sustainable, inclusive public health infrastructure.
