• Establish and manage project roadmap, timelines, and budget, and drive accountability and ownership from participants at all levels
• Maintain a regular cadence of meetings, provide status updates internally and externally, and work with the Global Health Partnerships team to compile quarterly reporting for stakeholders (in particular, the program funder)
• Participate in and help lead the program steering committee, including communicating with steering committee stakeholders and structuring discussions that generate decision-making from high level stakeholders
• Solicit feedback from local partners regarding program performance, identify potential improvements to the program design, and prepare recommendations for the decision-making body

• Experience stewarding relationships with institutional donor organizations
• Demonstrated ability to contribute to setting up monitoring and evaluation systems in large complex programs
