Management Sciences for Health (MSH) is seeking a Communications and Knowledge Management Manager for a recently-awarded 5-year USAID supply chain and pharmaceutical management project in Ethiopia. The purpose is to provide comprehensive technical assistance to strengthen the health supply chain and pharmaceutical services in select geographic areas in Ethiopia, both of which are cornerstones to achieve critical life-saving priorities.
MSH is a mission-driven, global nonprofit advisory organization that provides governments, health organizations, and the private sector with the strategies, tools, and management support to deliver high-functioning health systems effectively and efficiently. For more than 50 years, we have focused on the people at the heart of the health system - from health ministries to communities, private sector to civil society - in each environment in which we work, serving as trusted advisors to make foundational changes that support the whole health system. Working shoulder-to-shoulder with countries and communities, MSH helps to save lives and improve the health of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people by building strong, resilient, sustainable health systems.
About the Role
The Communications and Knowledge Management Manager is responsible for crafting success stories and communications products that inspire, influence action, and show how this project is saving lives and improving people’s health. The Manager collaborates with project leadership, technical staff, USAID, MSH communications colleagues, and key stakeholders to develop and implement communications strategies that promote visibility, convey project achievements to target audiences, and contribute to project success and organizational growth. The Manager ensures state-of-the-art communications approaches and systems are integrated across multiple project initiatives, develops compelling content, and promotes a culture of quality across various project elements. The Manager contributes to donor deliverables including Monthly, Quarterly and Annual Reports and Annual Work Plans and collaborates with USAID and other USAID implementing partners on issues related to communications. Working in collaboration with project staff, the Manager will develop a knowledge management plan and establish systems to facilitate knowledge capture and exchange in relevant national and global forums. In addition, the Manager will facilitate coordination across multiple USAID-funded projects in Ethiopia to enhance donor engagement and support unified messaging across MSH corporate channels that reflects the organization’s country-wide impact.
