Who we are
We’re Population Services International (PSI), the world’s leading non‐profit social marketing organization. We work to make it easier for people in the developing world to lead healthier lives and plan the families they desire by marketing affordable products and services that range from mosquito nets to contraceptives to HIV testing. We are a $560m enterprise based in Washington, DC, operating in the private and public sectors in more than 65 countries.
Join us!
There are over 9,000 “PSI’ers” around the world. It’s a diverse group of entrepreneurs and professionals with an unusually wide range of backgrounds - from the medical industry to the music business - all with unique skills we bring to the job.
PSI/Ethiopia is an innovative network member of PSI with a team of more than 140 people passionate about marketing and dedicated to serving Sara! Since 2003, we have marketed products and led programs to prevent HIV, improve reproductive health, and improve child health. We market condoms and increase condom use among people most at risk of HIV. We increase access to clean water by selling Wuha Agar, a water disinfectant. At PSI/Ethiopia we do more than simply provide products and services, we seek to create true change – by making markets work for the poor – to increase the use of critical health products and services that are available, affordable, and desirable to the most vulnerable Ethiopian people.
We are looking for a structured, organized and goal-oriented Project Management (PM) expert to lead the introduction and sustained use of PM Standards at PSI/Ethiopia and help sharing knowledge to enhance learning across programs and projects within PSI/Ethiopia. The ideal candidate is a natural leader, assertive but respectful, an excellent negotiator with a track-record in PM, possibly coming from tech-companies and/or management consulting firms. S/he is certainly a strategic thinker - able to conceive, structure, prioritize and allocate project work in the organization and capable to measure and document changes and lessons – with strong analytical skills and ability to assimilate and process information on a wide range of development issues. S/he has experience introducing PM standards and knowledge management best practices into organizations and companies.
