Overview  - Founded in 2002 by President William J. Clinton, the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) works to broaden access to life-saving treatment for HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria patients in the poorest parts of the world. As part of this mission, CHAI’s “Access Programs” approach global public health challenges with market-based strategies, using simultaneous engagement on both the supply and demand sides of the market. On the supply side, CHAI engages with suppliers of essential drugs and diagnostics to improve access to products by lowering prices, accelerating new products to market, and sharing market intelligence. On the demand side, CHAI organizes and consolidates demand for health commodities by helping governments to scale up treatment programs, mobilize new resources, improve procurement processes, and enhance local human resource capacity. Working with over 30 governments and other partners, CHAI is focused on large-scale impact on many of the largest barriers to effective treatment and care.  - The Supply Chain and Access team, India, is a key source of support for the Department of AIDS Control (DAC), India. The team works to holistically transform DAC’s supply chain at a systemic level, primarily for all HIV commodities. This involves working closely with the Central Government, State Governments as well as the point-of-care (POC) facilities across the country. The team also works on in-country access initiatives which includes national forecasting of HIV commodities, regimen optimization, increasing uptake and quality control.  - More specifically, the objectives driving the team include influencing policy level decision making to optimally utilized the procured HIV commodities by reducing the number of expiries of expensive, life-saving medicines; eliminate stock-outs of the same and improve access to treatment for the patient. The Indian HIV Program has more than 600,000 patients on HIV treatment and encompasses over 38 State AIDS Control Society (SACS) warehouses, regional warehouses, 16000 point of care (POC) facilities and US$ 200 million worth of HIV commodities.  Position:  - The Access and Supply Chain Associate will extensively work towards implementation of systems and processes to help strengthen the existing practices for managing HIV commodities across different nodes in the supply chain – supplier, state warehouses, regional warehouses and POC facilities. The selected candidate would join the team which is in the process of national implementation of an inventory management and patient tracking system (IMS) utilizing barcoding technology across all DAC sites. This transformational project will enable the program to have access to complete stock transactions and patient related data and would enable decision making based on quality data. The system would positively impact national forecasting and stock utilization, reduce expiries and stock-outs of HIV commodities and ultimately save lives of patients.  - CHAI places great value on relevant personal qualities: resourcefulness, responsibility, tenacity, independence, energy, and work ethic. We seek a highly committed and adaptable individual with a track record of delivering quality results with limited resources. The individual must be able to function independently and flexibly in a swift manner.   Responsibilities:  - Work closely with all stakeholders to rollout and institutionalise IMS nationally  - Detailing the national rollout plans and monitoring implementation progress  - Take lead on evaluation and evidence generation of IMS project  - Planning and delivering workshops for different user-groups across the country  - Make follow-up visits to ensure successful implementation across the country  - Propose initiatives for improvements in supply chain of DAC based on challenges observed in a state/region post IMS implementation in the respective state/region  - Work closely with the software development partner to enhance usability of the application with strong emphasis on technical know-how of groups of end-users  - Assist in replication of the concept as well application of the technology in other disease areas for other countries  Qualification:   - Minimum qualifications: Bachelor’s degree with 5+ years of work experience  - Field implementation experience of at least one extensive project in supply chain domain  - Excitement about taking an idea from concept to development to large-scale implementation  - Experience with technology solutions within supply chain domain  - Ability to think strategically, handle ambiguity and work in a fast-paced, limited-structure, multicultural environment  - Ability to handle multiple work streams simultaneously and work independently  - Strong analytical, problem solving, and quantitative skills  - Detail-oriented with strong organization skills  - Ability to innovate and adapt for changing project needs  - Willingness to travel 20-30% including to remote places  - Good written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to prepare and deliver compelling presentations
