Position
The Vaccines Markets team is seeking a Senior Associate to support partner- and supplier-facing engagements, with a focus on accelerating the go-to-market of novel antigens.

Over time, the Senior Associate will support further strategic initiatives, e.g., improving tiered pricing strategies to enhance vaccine affordability in Middle Income Countries, conceptualizing market-shaping approaches for antigen markets facing higher uncertainty and volatility, etc. This will require extensive collaboration across CHAI’s vaccine program team and country teams, as well as external partners (e.g., Gavi, BMGF, UNICEF, WHO, CEPI, Linksbridge).
We are seeking a highly motivated individual with outstanding analytical, conceptual, communication and teamwork skills. The successful candidate will adhere to the core CHAI values of resourcefulness, entrepreneurialism, flexibility, independence, humility, and work ethic. The Senior Associate will report to the Program Manager, Vaccine Markets Team.
Position to be based in Rwanda, though there is flexibility to be placed in other CHAI programmatic countries, pending country leadership approval.
