Global Health Corps
Global Health Corps (GHC) mobilizes a global community of emerging leaders to build the movement for health equity. GHC believes young leaders with diverse backgrounds and a deep commitment to collaboration, innovation, and social justice are going to revolutionize how the world tackles its toughest health challenges.
Through a competitive recruitment process, we identify daring and innovative university graduates and early- to mid-career professionals from around the world and pair them with amazing partner organizations and government agencies in the US, East Africa, and Southern Africa. Our fellows spend a year in their placement devoting their unstoppable energy to making the world a healthier place for all people, everywhere.
Fellows convene throughout the year for additional training, community building, leadership development, and mentorship in order to become audacious, resilient, and highly-networked changemakers. Since its founding in 2009, GHC has supported over 1000 fellows working at various levels of the health system, across issue areas and across continents.

The Candidate
The Rwanda Program Manager is a passionate and organized leader in our growing global team. The past 12 years have been full of exciting and rapid growth for GHC, and we need a Rwanda Program Manager to provide dedicated support to our fellows, alumni and partner organizations in-country. This position reports to the Rwanda Country Director and requires exceptional passion for our work. You will be thinking through the most effective way to leverage the talent of our fellows and alumni as an influential community of diverse leaders. Your tireless commitment to their success and the knack for optimistic problem-solving is an absolute must.
The ideal candidate thrives in a dynamic, global, collaborative and fast-paced environment where we are passionate about what we do, cares deeply for our greater mission, and is result oriented. As a community of leaders, including the GHC staff, we’re undeterred, we are adaptable, we are steadfast in our commitments, we are resilient. At GHC, we thrive in challenging situations, where our task is to do what hasn’t been done and where we must dismantle or rebuild systems that propagate inefficiency and inequity. We have the vision to think big, but we have the humility and the can-do attitude to get our hands dirty in order to get it done. You should too. We work daily across country borders and time zones, so being an excellent, thoughtful, and strategic communicator is essential. You will bring a solutions-oriented and client service mindset, demonstrating excellent attention to detail and a value for collaboration across a range of teams, cultures, and working styles.
