The objective of the contract is to obtain the services of a Senior Health Team Leader/Project Manager who will provide leadership and advisory services on the full range of family planning/reproductive health, HIV/AIDS, maternal and child health and malaria activities including strategic planning for the USAID/Burundi portfolio. The incumbent has the responsibility of understanding and incorporating the Agency's five core values in all respects: 1) customer focus; 2) managing for results; 3) empowerment and accountability; 4) teamwork and participation and 5) valuing diversity.

The incumbent will work at a senior level in a USG foreign assistance program that requires knowledge, experience, maturity, and an ability to function independently in a rapidly growing, highly demanding, and frequently changing environment. The position is located in the USAID office in Bujumbura, Burundi. The Senior Health Team Leader/Project Manager will be leader of the health team, which totals currently 10 members, including the Senior Health Team Leader/Project Manager including specialists in HIV/AIDS, malaria, family planning and reproductive health, supply chain management, and health systems strengthening. S/he will report to the USAID Representative and provide oversight of the health team and overall health portfolio, with direct supervision of the Malaria and PEPFAR team leaders. S/he will be expected to work independently, take initiative, and manage a multi-cultural team with multiple results packages. S/he will advise USAID/Burundi on all aspects of health including HIV/AIDS and the prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV (PMTCT), family planning (FP), maternal health and child survival, and malaria. The incumbent will represent USAID at the highest government and donor levels.

The Senior Health Team Leader/Project Manager will provide managerial oversight, supervision, and technical guidance to support the implementation of all USAID health programs including its two largest bilateral programs, the Integrated Health Project (IHP) and the PMTCT Acceleration Project. IHP combines many health areas that were historically and separately managed by different teams. The Senior Health Team Leader/Project Manager is expected to coordinate their work and report on the IHP as one consolidated unit. Because of the integrated nature of the program and the importance of HIV/AIDS within the portfolio, the Senior Health Team Leader/Project Manager will ensure synergy and complementarities between HIV/AIDS, family planning/MCH, malaria and all other health-related activities. S/he will also work closely with other USAID teams including economic growth, democracy and governance, and most notable the Food for Peace team which is addressing malnutrition in Burundi.
