Health
PATH is a global nonprofit dedicated to achieving health equity. With more than 40 years of experience forging multisector partnerships and with expertise in science, economics, technology, advocacy, and dozens of other specialties, PATH develops and scales up innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing heath challenges.  

The Role
The Women’s Health Team Lead will serve on the PHC leadership team, the Global Health Programs Extended Leadership Team, and as the primary leader for women’s health at PATH. In addition, the Women’s Health Team Lead will serve as the Future Injectables Market Steward (FIMS) Project Director. In these dual roles, they will report to PATH’s PHC Director.


The Future Injectable Market Steward (FIMS) project is a multi-country effort to facilitate the sustainable availability of injectable contraceptive options, including self-injection of DMPA-SC, as part of an expanded range of family planning methods delivered through informed choice programming. DMPA-SC offers a safe and effective injectable contraceptive that clients can, once trained, inject themselves if they choose. At the core of the FIMS mission is the belief that when women and adolescents have access to a variety of contraceptives, including those they can manage themselves, they are more likely to find and consistently use a method that meets their needs and ultimately realize their reproductive intentions.

The Project Director will drive the strategic direction for the Future Injectable Market Steward (FIMS) project and oversee activities and staff to achieve project milestones. They will coordinate closely with PATH and partner staff, including the FIMS consortium leadership team, finance lead, market function leads, regional Resource Teams and Country Coordinators in Africa and Asia to ensure that project activities are implemented efficiently and in alignment with work plans and budgets.
