D-tree is among the most experienced digital health partners in Tanzania, having worked with the government and multiple NGO partners since 2008 on a wide range of digital health programs focused on improving the quality of healthcare delivery. We are currently collaborating with the Tanzanian government on a digitally-enabled primary health care program in Kibaha, which has gained significant interest and is poised to strengthen a number of government digital health systems in Tanzania. We are also serving as the digital health partner in a large-scale community health TB/HIV program and have a growing portfolio of work around digitally-enabled, community-based early child development (ECD) services. As our portfolio in the digital community health space continues to grow, we have an opportunity to expand our engagement with the national government to serve as a key digital health partner for strengthening primary health care services. This is an exciting opportunity to help deepen and expand our work and impact.
Who you are
We are seeking a full time Mainland Tanzania Director, based in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, to manage and grow D-tree’s Mainland Tanzania portfolio and serve as the leader of D-tree in Tanzania. The Tanzania Director is responsible for positioning D-tree as a key trusted digital health partner within the Tanzania government. You will lead the D-tree team in engaging with the Government of Tanzania and key stakeholders through participation in technical working groups, individual meetings and networking activities to ensure D-tree’s programs reflect government priorities and are integrated as part of the Tanzanian health system. You will be accountable for ensuring that D-tree implements high quality programs in Tanzania that are aligned with and promote D-tree’s strategic approach and objectives; exceed donor and partner expectations; and are positioned for scale within the government health system. The Director will foster team collaboration, motivation, and individual skills building, while promoting team alignment around D-tree’s objectives in Tanzania and globally. Finally, the Director is responsible for setting the direction of D-tree’s growth in Tanzania, including designing new projects, expanding upon existing programs, developing new strategic partnerships, and contributing to funding proposals that move the organization towards achievement of D-tree’s 5-year strategic plan. This is a dynamic and challenging role requiring an individual with experience fostering and developing strong teams, managing programs, engaging with a diverse group of stakeholders (including government, funders, and partners), and strategically leveraging resources to deepen impact.
You are someone who is just as comfortable motivating team members and creating a positive office environment as you are engaging in strategic conversations with the Ministry of Health and development partners. You have the ability to see the big picture, as well as have excellent attention to detail and are very proactive. You are passionate about leading teams and have demonstrated your ability to develop leaders and create a positive, supportive environment in which all staff feel engaged, empowered and valued.
