Portfolio performance requires excellent collaboration across CIFF teams – notably between SRHR, Equity Gender & Youth, Girl Capital Africa, EME, Finance and Legal; as well as with external stakeholders including domestic authorities, bilateral and multilateral funders, and implementing partners.

The successful candidate will be passionate about the opportunity for philanthropy to advance equitable SRHR and bring a track record of managing health system interventions for SRHR or aligned outcomes in priority contexts.
