This will be an opportunity to provide important project management support to key Vaccine Delivery priorities. Over the next 12 months, there will be multiple cross-foundation team efforts to shape how Gavi will work in its next strategic period, influence the direction and support provided to WHO’s immunization team, and coordinate inputs from the team into the creation of the Global Delivery Program function. This will be an exciting and dynamic period to be part of the Vaccine Delivery team where we are shaping the direction of the foundation’s external work on immunization and creating a new internal approach to health delivery through creation of the Global Delivery Program function.
This role will report directly to the Deputy Director, Develop and Scale team.

- Shaping Vaccine Delivery input into WHO IVB and the ‘Immunization Agenda 2030’ (25%) – this will include supporting the management of our internal Foundation WHO IVB interest group, inputs into a future umbrella investment in that team, and supporting engagement of Vaccine Delivery into multiple working groups providing input into WHO’s “Immunization Agenda 2030”
