The Opportunity  

As the Senior ITN Regional Technical Advisor, you will provide strategic technical leadership, coordination, and oversight for PMI Evolve’s Insecticide-Treated Net (ITN) activities in Francophone West Africa and beyond.

You will work closely with PMI Evolve Chiefs of Party (COPs), Vector Control Managers (VCMs), NMCPs, and global technical teams to advance life-saving malaria prevention interventions.

This position will focus on strengthening country programs with high-quality technical inputs, cross-country learning, and systems to improve planning, implementation, supervision, supply chain management, community mobilization, and reporting. You will serve as a critical bridge between national malaria programs, PMI Evolve, and global stakeholders to ensure cost-effective, scalable, and locally owned vector control solutions.

This position is expected to be based in Dakar, Senegal or neighboring locations in West Africa and open to candidates with existing work authorization.

• Support cost-efficiency and cost-effectiveness assessments of ITN delivery models, with the goal of maximizing impact with available resources.
