Overview:
Since 2002, the Clinton Health Access Initiative, CHAI (formerly the Clinton HIV/AIDS Initiative), has been assisting developing countries in implementing large-scale, integrated HIV care, treatment, and prevention programs. CHAI is currently active in Africa, the Caribbean, Asia, and Eastern Europe. In support of national HIV/AIDS programs, CHAI provides technical assistance, mobilizes human and financial resources, and facilitates the sharing of best practices across projects. CHAI has also negotiated agreements with leading pharmaceutical companies that have lowered the cost of HIV/AIDS and malaria diagnostics and treatment in the developing world by 30-90%. Our ultimate objectives are to make high-quality HIV/AIDS and malaria care and treatment available to all who need it, and to partner with governments and other stakeholders to strengthen healthcare systems and develop sustainable strategies to overcome obstacles to scale-up.
CHAI is currently seeking candidates for the position of Manager to work with the New Product Opportunities Team in New York City. The Manager would support the evaluation of new commodities and areas in markets related to those in which CHAI currently works. These areas may include: opportunistic infections related to HIV, microbicides, sexually transmitted infections and maternal health. The individual will help to perform market assessments including understanding the drivers of supply and demand as well as market barriers.
The New Product Opportunities team within CHAI's access group is a new team charged with identifying drugs, devices, diagnostics and other products where current market conditions pose a barrier to access. By identifying new opportunities, and the appropriate market interventions, CHAI may ultimately be able to help save more lives by ensuring greater access to testing and treatment. We are accordingly seeking highly motivated individuals with outstanding analytical, time management, and communication skills. The candidates must be able to function independently and flexibly, along with a deep personal commitment to producing the highest quality results. CHAI places great value on relevant personal qualities: resourcefulness, entrepreneurialism, tenacity, independence, humility, and work ethic.
