Nexleaf Analytics

Nexleaf is a nonprofit technology company that partners with Ministries of Health to provide lasting, data-driven solutions which improve the reliability of the most critical parts of their healthcare infrastructure.

Our goal in the next five years is that countries know with certainty that their vaccines are potent when they reach the arms of citizens, starting by improving the reliability and effectiveness of their vaccine cold chains. In order for us to achieve this goal, we are helping our Ministry of Health customers create programs that will help support countries and their health workers use the technology and data necessary to better operate and maintain their cold chain equipment. Our role in developing these programs will focus on providing the tailored support, guidance, and training needed within all levels of the Ministry of Health. Our services aim to help both the frontline health workers with quick decision making and maintenance, and also support governments in making high level decisions about their countries nationwide vaccine potency.

The Role

Nexleaf is hiring an Impact Consultant who will oversee the implementation of these programs in each country we operate in. This role will sit on the Customer Team, reporting to the Sr Program Manager, Impact, and work globally and cross functionally with other Nexleaf team members to implement training curricula, SOPs, and to report back feedback and user experiences from the customers on the ground. The core responsibility of this role is to support Nexleaf’s customers, Ministries of Health, to derive the maximum value from the deployed Remote Temperature Monitoring Devices (RTMs) and to effectively use the data to make decisions at the national, regional and local levels to improve the performance of their cold chain equipment (CCE) and ultimately ensure the potency of their vaccines. Success in this role requires a very high degree of initiative, responsibility, autonomy, relationship-building skill, and problem-solving capacity.

This will be a 2 year employment contract, with the opportunity to extend the contract. This role involves regular domestic travel to regions across the country to help troubleshoot issues in-person when needed.

Applications are currently being accepted and the interview process will begin in January
