Living Goods Jobs in Uganda

Living Goods was born out of the spirit of innovation. A decade ago, after accompanying Avon saleswomen in rural African villages, Chuck Slaughter created Living Goods using community health workers to sell medicines and lifesaving products door-to-door. Seven years later, we replicated Living Goods in Kenya. The following year, we expanded to Zambia and Myanmar.

We’ve created a dedicated team led by a new Global Innovations Director to provide catalytic leadership. The Innovations team will work closely with the country teams to lead the innovation agenda. One arm of the team will focus on radical innovation to transform community health – called LGX. Another arm runs the Innovation Network, a Gates-funded incubation lab that tests community health technologies.

The third arm of team is the Innovation Experiment Program. Led by the Senior Manager, Global Innovation, this arm will lead programmatic, financing and technology innovations. The Senior Manager oversees the Project Manager, Innovation in Uganda.
