Deputy Director

Who we are
D-tree International is a global digital health
organization committed to improving lives by ensuring that everyone has
access to quality primary healthcare in underserved areas. We do this by
supporting governments to build and deploy digital tools for frontline
health workers to improve their ability to deliver high-quality,
evidence-based care. D-tree collaborates with governments to demonstrate
these digital systems, builds the capacity of health workers,
supervisors and leaders, and accompanies governments as they scale
digitally enabled health systems nationally.

Since
2011, D-tree has partnered with the Zanzibar Ministry of Health to
implement an innovative digital health program, Jamii ni Afya
(“Community is health”), supporting Community Health Volunteers to
provide health services within their communities. This program has
consistently demonstrated improved health outcomes, a strengthened
community health system, and increased use of data for decision-making.
Over time, Jamii ni Afya has grown from a pilot to a national program
and has demonstrated how digital technology can transform the quality of
a health system. The Zanzibar government has committed to adopting
Jamii ni Afya at national scale; integrating digitally enabled Community
Health Volunteers into their formal Community Health Strategy. This
represents the world’s first nationally scaled digital community health
program, bringing high quality health services to the doorsteps of all
of Zanzibar. The digital health program will be fully scaled in July
2021, allowing D-tree to focus on program sustainability, quality and
impact.

As our program has expanded, so has our portfolio of
donors. We are currently funded by five donors with varying scopes,
timelines and reporting requirements. Further, we have a team of nearly
20 staff within various technical areas supporting program delivery. As
the program and team continue to grow, we have a need for a Deputy
Director to look across our portfolio and team to ensure strong
processes and procedures, cross-team collaboration and programmatic
excellence. This is an exciting opportunity to continue to strengthen
our work and help us to realize the potential of digital health in
Zanzibar to improve healthcare delivery and save lives.

Who you are
We are seeking a full time Deputy Director,
based in Stone Town, Zanzibar, to manage D-tree’s Zanzibar portfolio,
which consists of multiple funding streams supporting the Zanzibar
government to integrate digital technology into their primary health
system. This is a dynamic and challenging role requiring an individual
with experience managing and building capacity of a multi-cultural team
and managing a complex program portfolio. You are someone who is just as
comfortable motivating team members and creating a positive office
environment as you are managing budgets and work plans across multiple
funders. You have the ability to see the big picture, as well as have
excellent attention to detail and are very proactive. You are passionate
about building the capacity of staff and supporting others to
effectively manage projects and supervise others.
