The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to our mission of saving lives and reducing the burden of disease in low-and middle-income countries. We work at the invitation of governments to support them and the private sector to create and sustain high-quality health systems.

CHAI was founded in 2002 in response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic with the goal of dramatically reducing the price of life-saving drugs and increasing access to these medicines in the countries with the highest burden of the disease. Over the following two decades, CHAI has expanded its focus. Today, along with HIV, we work in conjunction with our partners to prevent and treat infectious diseases such as COVID-19, malaria, tuberculosis, and hepatitis. Our work has also expanded into cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and other non-communicable diseases, and we work to accelerate the rollout of lifesaving vaccines, reduce maternal and child mortality, combat chronic malnutrition, and increase access to assistive technology. We are investing in horizontal approaches to strengthen health systems through programs in human resources for health, digital health, and health financing. With each new and innovative program, our strategy is grounded in maximizing sustainable impact at scale, ensuring that governments lead the solutions, that programs are designed to scale nationally, and learnings are shared globally.

At CHAI, our people are our greatest asset, and none of this work would be possible without their talent, time, dedication and passion for our mission and values. We are a highly diverse team of enthusiastic individuals across 40 countries with a broad range of skillsets and life experiences. CHAI is deeply grounded in the countries we work in, with majority of our staff based in program countries. Learn more about our exciting work: http://www.clintonhealthaccess.org

CHAI is an Equal Opportunity Employer, and is committed to providing an environment of fairness, and mutual respect where all applicants have access to equal employment opportunities. CHAI values diversity and inclusion, and recognizes that our mission is best advanced by the leadership and contributions of people with diverse experience, backgrounds, and culture.

Program and Role Overview:

Since 2002, CHAI has been a global leader in expanding and accelerating access to HIV commodities, reducing the costs of drugs and diagnostics, and strengthening government capacity to deliver HIV services. Through our partnerships with national governments and affected communities, CHAI’s HIV program is addressing key landscape challenges to catalyze transformational impact by optimizing access to innovation, delivering high-quality and efficient services tailored to user needs, and sustaining country-led HIV programs through locally driven solutions.

The Associate Director, Market Intelligence, leads CHAI’s strategic market analytics function for the Global HIV Access Program. This role shapes the vision, priorities, and execution of CHAI’s HIV market intelligence agenda, ensuring the organization and its partners benefit from rigorous, timely, and actionable insights on HIV treatment, prevention, and diagnostics markets. The Associate Director plays a central leadership role—guiding strategic direction, strengthening analytical excellence, engaging senior external stakeholders, and supporting fundraising and cross-cutting strategy.

In 2025, this role has become more critical than ever, given constrained foreign aid budgets, increasing uncertainty in global health financing, and reduced visibility into market and procurement data across the HIV ecosystem. Reliable, forward-looking market intelligence is essential for anticipating supply risks, guiding donor investments, supporting country programs to make informed procurement decisions, and safeguarding access to life-saving HIV commodities. The Associate Director is expected to provide clarity, strategic guidance, and analytical leadership at a time when decision-makers face unprecedented market uncertainty.

Working closely with the Vice President, HIV, Hepatitis, and TB, the Associate Director oversees CHAI’s most high-impact market intelligence products, including global forecasts, market reports, and the Market Impact Memos —influential analyses that translate complex market signals into clear implications for donors, suppliers, and country programs. These products are essential tools for aligning stakeholders, anticipating risks, shaping procurement and market-shaping strategies, and catalyzing broader action across the HIV ecosystem. The Associate Director ensures these deliverables consistently demonstrate analytical rigor, strategic insight, and relevance to global decision-makers while cultivating a team capable of producing work that sets the standard for market intelligence in global health.

This position is flexible to being based in one of CHAI’s program countries pending country leadership approval and subject to the ability to obtain work authorization. See where we work here.
