Are you ready to tackle one of the biggest challenges in the vaccine supply chain? According to a recent study conducted by the WHO and UNICEF, up to 75% of vaccines are at risk of freezing by the time they reach the last mile. Data is critical to making informed decisions that protect vaccines for women and children. Partnering with the Program Director, Ministries of Health (MOH), and other partners, you will lead initiatives across the U.S., Asia, and Africa to improve the vaccine cold chain with a user-centered approach.
To realize our vision of reaching all sub-county vaccine stores in Kenya to provide data visibility, you will manage a variety of projects using Nexleaf’s data analytics platform. Projects include the temperature monitoring project, leading data integration, and delivering a transition plan for full project ownership under the MOH. You will be working with countries to launch a global tool that we are developing to bring insights into cold chain equipment performance.
