The Foundation
We 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 Team
The Global Health (GH) division harnesses advances in science and technology to save lives in countries. We focus on the health problems that have an impact in developing countries but get too little attention and funding. Where proven tools exist, we support sustainable ways to improve their delivery. Where they do not, we invest in research and development of interventions, such as vaccines, drugs, and diagnostics. Our work focuses on strategies to fight and prevent HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, neglected tropical diseases, enteric and diarrheal diseases, and pneumonia. These programs strategy teams are supported by functional teams that focus on Discovery and Translational Sciences, Vaccine Development, the Accelerator, and Integrated Development.
The foundation’s Tuberculosis (TB) team aims to address key gaps along the TB care pathway through new approaches to protect 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.
About the role
Nigeria and Ethiopia together account for a significant share of the global TB burden, yet both countries face persistent challenges in detecting and treating TB cases, mobilizing and efficiently using available funding, and building the data systems needed to drive program improvement. This Limited Term Employee (LTE) position is established to provide dedicated, regionally embedded support to the national TB programs in these two countries during a critical period of program strengthening.
Your Role
This is a limited-term position ending on December 31, 2027. Relocation support will not be provided.
As the SPO, TB Country Support for Nigeria & Ethiopia, you will serve as a trusted technical partner to the national TB programs in Nigeria and Ethiopia, engaging government counterparts, implementing partners, and Global Fund principal recipients to assess program needs and facilitate targeted support.
Your work will span four interconnected areas: TB screening, case finding and diagnostics introduction; funding efficiency and resource optimization; data systems and surveillance strengthening; and TB-HIV integration within primary health care. You will generate structured assessments and recommendations that inform both country-level program decisions and the foundation’s strategy and investments.
This role reports to the Deputy Director, Immunization and Disease Control, in Nigeria, with a dotted-line report to the Director, HIV & TB Delivery, based in the UK. The position can be based in either Nigeria or Ethiopia.
What You’ll Do
1. Country Engagement and Needs Assessment
This is the foundational function of the role. You will establish and sustain substantive working relationships with national TB program leadership, Ministry of Health counterparts, Global Fund principal recipients, and key implementing partners in both countries.
