Job Description
Location: Dar Es Salaam (frequent field travel)
Overview
The Lead HIS Project Manager (LHPM) will be a technocrat, negotiator and government relations focal point. LHPM will be primarily responsible for managing the technical road map development process (“DH2020”), from requirements sourcing to technical translation, ensuring both its technical rigor, comprehensiveness, alignment with user requirements and, perhaps most critical, acceptance by varied and non-linear government agencies. The task will be challenging and politically complex. With a secured road map in-hand, LHPM will be responsible to coordinate oversight of engineering processes with select government agencies, and establish a development operations method that is clear, durable and efficient, incorporating iterative production/testing stages and, ultimately, user acceptance testing to validate alignment of final product with perceived user requirements. LHPM will then manage engineering inputs to deliver DH2020 technical products, and will be responsible for agile/iterative rescoping as defined by the development operations method above. In all processes, GOT will feature as a primary decision-maker and final authority on acceptability and integration. LHPM must be skilled in negotiating the balance between technical and political requirements, quickly pivoting from one domain to the next as the environment requires.
General:
LHPM must be detail oriented, highly skilled with Agile engineering techniques and have an exemplary track record working with SQL products. LHPM will have a long, successful record of establishing and delivering road maps in politically and technically complex environments, with an emphasis on negotiation, communication and harmonization skills.
LHPM will have direct experience with health information systems in developing economies, with particular attention to scoping and delivering inter-operability solutions using commonly accepted standards and protocols.
LHPM will report directly to Health Information System (HIS) Principal Investigator (PI)
