Who we are
PSI is a network of locally rooted, globally connected organizations working to achieve consumer-powered healthcare — people-centered health systems that ensure quality, affordable care wherever and whenever it is needed. Our origins in sexual and reproductive health have grown into a broader mission. Today, we work with the public and private sectors as well as local communities, prioritizing people’s voice and choice and developing solutions to meet their essential health needs. Over the past five decades, we have helped push boundaries, break taboos, set trends, and develop innovative solutions to complex global health challenges.

Join us!
The Strategy & Insights team guides quality, insights-driven prioritization and learning across PSI, ensuring we are “doing the right things” even as we work on “doing things right.” The team promotes best practice in program design, social and behavior change (SBC), market dynamics, research, learning, and strategy development, measurement and alignment. We work with PSI network members, partners and other global services teams to systematically capture, synthesize and share internal and external evidence, consumer/market/health system insights, competitive market intelligence and program experience to guide global, market-level and program-level strategy. The team is made up of a diverse, fun, kind, and highly skilled group of professionals, and would offer the successful candidate exposure to a wide range of PSI’s work.

Strategy and Insights seeks a Program Assistant to provide wide-ranging administrative and operational support to the team. This position would also support the Health Systems Accelerator team with similar administrative tasks. The role is a critical part of ensuring operational excellence and quality execution of standards.

What are we looking for?

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 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.
