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 be healthy by providing access to products and services that range from mosquito nets to HIV testing.
There are over 9,000 “PSI’ers” around the world. It’s a motley group of entrepreneurs and professionals with a diverse range of backgrounds all the way 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 220 people passionate about marketing and dedicated to serving Sara! Since 2003, we have marketed products and led programs to prevent HIV, improve reproductive health including access to modern contraception for the 15-19 years old adolescents, 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 design solution with and for SARA using Human Centered Design and put our end users at the center.
Join us!
We are looking for a program manager to oversee an innovative project that targets the 15-19 year old married adolescent girls on economic empowerment support and mobilize their husband’s and partner’s to let them benefit from the SMART START package (a package of solutions
designed with and for adolescent modern contraception through a human centered tailored design
process). SMART START is currently providing financial counseling and access to modern contraception service by linking the girls to the nearby Health Extension Workers (HEWs) at the Kebele level. The program manager will oversee the design and implementation process to enhance economic empowerment opportunities, improve meaningful male engagement and continual use of modern contraception.
The manager is expected to lead and interact with the young maverick next donors together with the global counterpart at PSI headquarters in the United States. The program manager will be responsible to plan, execute and strategically lead the design (through Human Centered Design) and implementation of the program.
