Chemonics International seeks a Chief of Party for FHM Engage. Based in Abuja, and reporting to the FHM Engage Project Director, the Chief of Party is a senior leadership position that assumes overall responsibility for FHM Engage in Nigeria. The Chief of Party will manage a small efficient team of 10 including an Operation Director, Accountant, Monitoring Evaluation Adaptive Learning (MEAL) Manager, Communication Manager, Administrative Assistant, Technical Advisor, Health Financing (R4D), Technical Advisor, Quality (Pathfinder). The role will require a balance of technical and operations work. The technical work will focus on introducing and developing a market systems approach to private sector engagement in Nigeria.

As USAID’s flagship private sector health project, FHM Engage envisions a world in which health markets are responsive, equitable, resilient, and driven by consumer needs. To meet this vision, FHM Engage – led by Chemonics and its core partners, co-technical lead Results for Development, Pathfinder, and Zenysis – catalyzes the adoption of fresh, contextually-relevant pathways in health market development by building on existing structures and offering strong behavioral, technical, and managerial approaches.
