This role will also involve supporting colleagues to lead our work on youth skills and ecosystems, including coaching and mentoring around our youth strategy, leading project acquisition and delivery, and team-building.
You will work with Genesis colleagues to acquire, lead and deliver consulting projects to help our clients unlock and realise value in human development, by helping governments and their partners helping clients understand and help populations to manage risks. You will help resilient health financing arrangements and programmes that are adequately financed, allocate budgets wisely and efficiently, make good use of technologies, and are adaptive and responsive to shocks and opportunities. The result of this will be that marginalised populations will be better able to manage risks and shocks in health, and more broadly across social sectors.
In each project, you will:
Ensure service excellence and delivery
Manage interactions and negotiations with clients
Performance manage the team and team members
Ensure project profitability and efficiency
Assess and structure the problem to be solved, and approach to the analysis of data and information, testing and refining hypotheses, and drafting and communicating conclusions and recommendations to the client
In some cases, you will travel to do this, usually with colleagues.
You will also play a role in:
business development in health financing, including responsibility for leading and managing proposals
turning new ideas on health financing into concrete products, such as blogposts, academic articles, conference presentations, or innovative products for clients
practice organisation, including working on practice strategy, business systems, recruiting, nurturing, and managing consultants, and leading and building new specialisms in health financing
We offer you a steep learning curve while providing an opportunity to make a difference. We will invest in your professional development. We offer meaningful work with professional, talented and supportive teams; mentoring and regular feedback from partners; structured training and coaching programmes; and a career ladder.
We hire principals with the expectation that they can become partners at Genesis. Genesis offers a highly rewarding, challenging and flexible career. Working with your mentor, we encourage you to explore living and working in different locations, and deepening and complementing your specialised skills and knowledge in health financing and youth.
