About The Position

CHAI's Global Markets Team (GMT) is responsible for envisioning, executing, and monitoring market shaping interventions aimed at improving access to health commodities for low- and middle-income countries. These interventions range from traditional policy-led and grant-financed initiatives such as pooled procurement, coordinated ordering, strategic demand forecasting, and regulatory harmonization to more innovative credit enhancement mechanisms such as volume guarantees (VGs), advance market commitments (AMCs), and working capital facilities. GMT collaborates closely with internal and external stakeholders to evaluate the public health impact of a proposed intervention and ensure alignment with current and future policy goals. GMT also works to build stronger relationships with manufacturers and distributors to devise and execute sustainable solutions for improved access to health commodities. CHAI’s Global Markets Team is seeking a Senior Associate to support CHAI’s supply side strategy across programmatic areas. The position will collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to design and execute market analyses, including supplier landscaping, market sizing, demand forecasting, costing analysis, and impact modeling, and develop recommendations and investment cases for suppliers, donors, and country governments. The position may require domestic and international travel for supplier and partner meetings as well as to CHAI program countries. We are currently hiring for multiple positions within the Global Markets Team (GMT), across two key sub-teams: Tuberculosis (TB) and Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH). Successful candidates will be matched to a team based on organizational needs, fit, and candidate preference. If you have a strong preference to work on either the SRH or TB team, please clearly indicate this in your application. We are seeking a highly motivated, entrepreneurial individual with outstanding analytical capabilities, problem-solving ability and communication skills. The Senior Associate must be able to function independently and have a strong commitment to excellence. CHAI places great value on relevant personal qualities: resourcefulness, humility, responsibility, tenacity, independence, energy, and work ethic. Through this role, the Senior Associate will develop collaborative relationships with multiple teams within CHAI as well as with pharmaceutical suppliers and other key leaders within the SRMNH space.
