Join us!
The Strategic Partnerships team harnesses the power of the private sector to fuel sustainable global health solutions by prioritizing high ROI opportunities and matching them to the best partners. Our innovative and creative team partners with leading Fortune 500 companies to support programs operating in more than 40 countries.
PSI is looking for an accomplished individual for the role of Manager, Strategic Partnerships, to support and facilitate the development of partnerships that test new ideas in global health and drive towards PSI’s strategic vision.
This unique role works across global teams and sectors and essentially breaking silos. You will collaborate with PSI partners across the private, public, and social sectors, as well as programmatic, technical, and field teams to facilitate the design of scalable, sustainable projects that test innovations in global health.
You must have excellent interpersonal skills, experience working with the private sector, and a knack for motivating colleagues, who do not report to you, by creating and navigating strong professional relationships and informal networks. We need you to think and dream big but have the agility to zoom from the forest to the trees, and to dive into and manage the day-to-day details. You must be comfortable with ambiguity, leading teams to consensus, forging new partnerships, and be a self-starter who can run with an idea with minimal supervision.
Your contribution
You will support the Head of Strategic Partnerships to work across the organization to support in the identification and codification of a pipeline of innovative projects and partnerships that directly contribute toward PSI’s strategic plan.

� Liaise with other PSI departments to proactively foster, and potentially lead, inter-departmental communication, understanding, and collaboration. 15% of the time.

� Outstanding communication skills, both verbal and written. Ability to proofread documents. Ability to competently represent PSI externally and in-person at events and speaking engagements.

� Solid foundational knowledge of fundraising techniques and approaches. Familiarity with global health and development.
The candidate we hire will embody PSI’s corporate values:
Measurement: You use hard evidence to make decisions and guide your work. You set clear goalposts in advance and explain clearly if you need to move them. Pragmatism: You’ll strive to deliver the best possible result with the resources available. You won’t be paralyzed by a need to make things perfect. Honesty: You own your mistakes and are open about your shortcomings – it’s the only way you’ll learn and improve. Collaboration: You’ll quickly establish a mental map of whom you can rely on for what, on your team, at headquarters, and in our country offices – if you try to do it all yourself, you won’t succeed. Trust: You accept limits to your sphere of control and give colleagues the benefit of the doubt. Commitment: You are in it for the long-haul and want to grow with the organization, just like PSI serves its consumers and partners with host-country governments through thick and thin.
References will be required. The successful candidate will be required to pass a background check. For domestic positions: Must be authorized to work in the United States. N.B. PSI will not consider work visa sponsorship for this position.
