Background on Supply Chain Management Initiative
CHAI is building on its successful work in HIV and
malaria treatment to support the development and execution of ambitious new
efforts to strengthen and streamline the supply chain both to and in developing
countries for high quality and essential health products in a sustainable
manner in order to increase levels of accessibility. These efforts will focus
on a number of countries in creating market structures that can assure that
products are high quality, widely available and affordable. In parallel, CHAI
is leading efforts to develop mechanisms to deploy new information and communication
technologies effectively in order to streamline supply chains and/or increase
demand for products.

CHAI is recruiting a number of Supply Chain
Managers, each of whom will be responsible for establishing, implementing and
coordinating CHAI’s Supply Chain strategy in a specific African country.
Reporting to The Director of Supply Chain Management, the Supply Chain Managers
will work across all levels of the private and public sector supply chains
related to selected essential health products, providing technical and
operational assistance to put into effect the concrete implementation plans
which they would have been heavily involved in creating. The Supply Chain
Manager will be able to display a very high degree of credibility, borne out by
proven supply chain experience at an operational and technical level. The
Supply Chain Manager will have a practical understanding of relevant drivers
and motivations across different supply chains and be able to devise and
implement strategies and tactics that are innovative and go far beyond the
established status quo. The Supply Chain Manager will spend ~20% of his/her
time travelling domestically, primarily to regions with limited facilities.
Limited levels of international travel are also anticipated.
