Results for Development Institute Senior Program Officer Jobs in Tanzania

Results for Development (R4D) is a leading non-profit global development partner. We collaborate with change agents around the world — government officials, civil society leaders and social innovators — to create strong systems that support healthy, educated people. We help our partners move from knowing their goal to knowing how to reach it. We combine global expertise in health, education and nutrition with analytic rigor, practical support for decision-making and implementation and access to peer problem-solving networks. Together with our partners, we build self-sustaining systems that serve everyone and deliver lasting results. Then we share what we learn so others can achieve results for development, too.

We have a unique and vibrant culture at R4D. Diversity, equity and inclusion are at the heart of our work environment and help advance our mission. Diversity—of ideas, identities, perspectives and backgrounds—is vital to who we are and what we do. We seek people who embrace these values and will help reinforce them. Our work culture is collaborative, creative and entrepreneurial. We operate based on trust and respect. Teams across the organization frequently collaborate on programmatic work and support each other in continuously building a better R4D.

Results for Development (R4D) is seeking a highly motivated and dynamic Senior Program Officer to serve as the Senior Market Shaping Specialist to play an important strategic leadership role in leading the Market Shaping practice’s Tanzania-based team.

In partnership with change agents, R4D’s Market Shaping Practice (MSP) shapes markets for health products, systems, and areas of intersection in Africa and Asia to advance health equity. We develop, iterate on and support catalytic implementation of long-lasting solutions at the global and country levels to address challenges identified by country partners and backed by rigorous analyses. Using practical and business-driven approaches – from increasing market transparency around the number of potential users, to improving demand forecasting, to developing purchasing and value chain strategies, to crafting cost-effectiveness and financing gap analyses – our work ensures that the markets for life-improving products, services, and systems operate with improved efficiency which in turn improves health outcomes and advances health equity. We’ve applied our expertise to reduce costs and supported improved access to high-quality products in health (spanning the HIV/AIDS, TB, malaria, maternal, newborn and child health markets) as well as in nutrition and education.

Your Experience should include:

Master’s degree in public health, public policy, business/management or other related advanced degree preferred

Preference is given to candidates with experience conducting market research or analysis, developing product introduction/scale-up strategies, developing and implementing commodity financing strategies and/or expanding access to healthcare, specifically in low- and middle-income countries

Track record of building trust, forging partnerships, and conducting advocacy across a wide variety of stakeholders in multicultural environments and across public and private sector actors; experience working closely with the Tanzanian government is particularly relevant

Demonstrated experience leading the development of high-quality analysis from conceptualization to completion and leveraging that analysis to drive action by decision-makers for ultimate impact

Strong written and verbal communication skills, including demonstrated ability to develop and deliver compelling presentations

Experience managing teams across multiple workstreams and enthusiastic about supporting team members’ professional growth

Ability to think strategically, handle ambiguity and work in a fast-paced, open-structure, multicultural environment, and geographically distributed team
