Senior Program Officer, Data Analytics & Modeling, HIV/TB Delivery

The FoundationWe are the largest nonprofit fighting poverty, disease, and inequity around the world. Founded on a simple premise: people everywhere, regardless of identity or circumstances, should have the chance to live healthy, productive lives. We believe our employees should reflect the rich diversity of the global populations we aim to serve. We provide an exceptional benefits package to employees and their families which include comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage with no premiums, generous paid time off, paid family leave, foundation-paid retirement contribution, regional holidays, and opportunities to engage in several employee communities. As a workplace, we’re committed to creating an environment for you to thrive both personally and professionally. The TeamOur Global Health (GH) division harnesses advances in science and technology to save lives in poor countries. We focus on the health problems that have a major impact in developing countries but get too little attention and funding. Where tools exist, we support sustainable ways to improve their delivery. Where they don’t, we invest in research and development of new interventions, such as vaccines, drugs, and diagnostics. Our work in infectious diseases focuses on strategies to fight and prevent HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis (TB), neglected tropical diseases, enteric and diarrheal diseases, pneumonia and maternal, newborn and child health.Our TB and HIV work is combined under a joint TB/HIV Program Strategy Team (PST) which focuses on research, development and delivery of new products and tools.We focus our HIV efforts on some of the countries hardest hit by HIV in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), particularly in populations at greatest risk of infection, including adolescent girls and young women. While treatment scale-up has led to significant declines in new infections and mortality, the rate is not rapid enough to reach globally agreed targets and there remains a persistently high incidence and mortality in several countries in SSA. The HIV team’s strategic vision is to accelerate the reduction in the incidence of HIV infection in high-burden geographies and populations, with a focus on the development of new and affordable prevention and treatment interventions, including long-acting drugs, vaccines and biologics, and to enable their effective use.The foundation’s Tuberculosis (TB) team aims to address key gaps along the TB care pathway through new approaches to protecting against infection, preventing progression from infection to disease, and improving diagnosis and treatment. Our efforts are diversified based on the understanding that vaccines, diagnostics, drugs, and improved care delivery are all essential to addressing the TB epidemic.Application Deadline: Monday, December 2, 2024 Your Role The TB&HIV Delivery Team is recruiting a Senior Program Officer, Data analytics and Modeling, who will support the Deputy Director, Evidence generation and TB&HIV PST in achieving its impact goals by supporting implementation of the foundation’s HIV & TB Delivery Data strategy.
