Latest Employment Opportunity at PATH
ROLE: Technical Project Manager, Digital Square
PATH is a global organization that works to improve health for everyone. PATH has more than 40 years of experience building partnerships between different types of organizations. It also has experts in science, economics, technology, advocacy, and dozens of other fields, which helps it come up with and scale up new ways to solve the world’s biggest health problems.
The Center of Digital and Data Excellence (CoDE) at PATH works with government health ministries, the private sector, and donors to improve health services by making better use of digital technologies and data. One of CoDE’s most important global projects is Digital Square (https://www.digitalsquare.org). It is run by PATH and funded by a number of groups, including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
Its goal is to improve digitally enabled health services to help close the health equity gap. Digital Square was inspired by the ineffectiveness and duplication of previous investments in digital technologies for international development. It works with ministries of health to match adaptable, interoperable digital technologies with local health needs and brings partners together to improve how the global community designs, uses, and pays for digital health tools and approaches.
The Digital Square team at PATH is looking for a Technical Project Manager (TPM). To carry out the Digital Innovation and Pandemic Control (DIPC) project, the TPM will work closely with PATH colleagues, partners from the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ), and the Ghana Health Service (GHS) and Ministry of Health (MOH) in Ghana. The goal of the DIPC project is to use digital tools to help manage vaccine data systems and immunizations in case of a pandemic. The TPM will report to the person in charge of the DIPC project.

- Help people make test data sets that are specific to their area.
- Represent Digital Square and the DIPC project as a technical leader at technical meetings, conferences, and workshops with people from outside the project.

- Work with the Ministry of Health (MOH), Ghana Health Service (GHS), Technical Working Groups, and other digital health stakeholders to map and analyze the current immunization ecosystems to figure out requirements, challenges, and needs.
