We are seeking a talented individual for the role of a Service Redesign Project Manager.
The Service Redesign Project Manager will be responsible for overseeing and managing the day-to-day affairs of a collaborative project led by Jacaranda Health, a County Health Management Team and an external research partner.
The project will explore and implement options for redesigning elements of health service delivery, with the ultimate goal of improving health outcomes for mothers and babies.
The project will involve the participation of multiple stakeholders – County government, community structures, health implementation partners and research teams.
Location: Based in Kakamega County, Kenya, with 25% travel to Nairobi.
Reports to: Executive Director (Africa) and Government Partnerships Manager
About You:
You excel at bringing structure to complex projects: Setting up a project plan, gantt charts, activity trackers etc. is bread and butter to you. But you also go beyond the tools and identify risks and opportunities, and appropriate mitigation strategies.
You thrive in situations that require coordination of multiple stakeholders: You are able to map and align the incentives and concerns of various parties into a project plan, so that there is ownership and agreement across the board.
You are a talented communicator: You are equally comfortable with a senior leader in the health department, as you are with a junior officer in the field – and you’re able to engage them to get the job done. You are also experienced at working in a matrix environment, where moving a project forward requires engaging multiple internal teams.
What does success look like?
You will be instrumental in introducing significant systems level change in delivery of health services for mothers and babies in a county, likely leading to an improvement in health outcomes. You will achieve this by getting approval for an implementation plan, coordinating the implementation of redesign efforts, coordinating reporting activities and engagement of partners and constantly communicating successes and challenges.
