PSI seeks a Global Subaward Coordinator to manage and monitor a portfolio of subawards under several global projects to ensure financial and contractual compliance. PSI implements projects in Nigeria and Kenya focused on a wide range of health areas including Sexual and Reproductive Health, HIV/AIDS, and Adolescents and Youth. PSI often works closely with local subrecipient partners to implement activities in order to maximize health impact and ensure sustainability, and PSIโs subaward portfolio is continuing to expand based on strategic objectives.
The Global Subaward Coordinator is a unique and dynamic position that is global in scope. This Global Subaward Coordinator will initially manage subawards under several global projects in Nigeria and Kenya (with the potential for international travel to Kenya to conduct annual subaward site visits as needed). However, there is also potential for this position to provide support to additional countries within Africa as needed.
