Call For Experts: Global Health Technical Specialists

Clinton Health Access Initiative

The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to our mission of saving lives and reducing the burden of disease in low-and middle-income countries. We work at the invitation of governments to support them and the private sector to create and sustain high-quality health systems.

CHAI was founded in 2002 in response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic with the goal of dramatically reducing the price of life-saving drugs and increasing access to these medicines in the countries with the highest burden of the disease. Over the following two decades, CHAI has expanded its focus. Today, along with HIV, we work in conjunction with our partners to prevent and treat infectious diseases such as COVID-19, malaria, tuberculosis, and hepatitis. Our work has also expanded into cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and other non-communicable diseases, and we work to accelerate the rollout of lifesaving vaccines, reduce maternal and child mortality, combat chronic malnutrition, and increase access to assistive technology. We are investing in horizontal approaches to strengthen health systems through programs in human resources for health, digital health, and health financing. With each new and innovative program, our strategy is grounded in maximizing sustainable impact at scale, ensuring that governments lead the solutions, that programs are designed to scale nationally, and learnings are shared globally.

At CHAI, our people are our greatest asset, and none of this work would be possible without their talent, time, dedication and passion for our mission and values. We are a highly diverse team of enthusiastic individuals across 40 countries with a broad range of skillsets and life experiences. CHAI is deeply grounded in the countries we work in, with majority of our staff based in program countries.

The Clinton Health Access Initiative is developing comprehensive expert rosters across key technical disciplines to support our expanding work with governments in 35+ countries. CHAI's technical teams lead transformational health programs worldwide: malaria elimination initiatives reaching 50+ million people, HIV care systems serving 2+ million patients, health financing reforms supporting universal health coverage goals, and supply chain optimizations delivering billions in cost savings. Our experts work directly with senior government officials, design innovative solutions to complex health challenges, and build lasting partnerships that strengthen entire health systems.

Note: This is a rolling recruitment for our talent pipeline, rather than a specific job opening. Applications are accepted year-round and reviewed on an ongoing basis.
