Who we are

We're Population Services International (PSI), the world's leading non-profit social marketing organization. We work to make it easier for people in the developing world to lead healthier lives and plan the families they desire by marketing affordable products and services that range from mosquito nets to contraceptives to HIV testing.

There are over 7,000 “PSI'ers” around the world. It's a diverse group of entrepreneurs and professionals with an unusually wide range of backgrounds - from the medical industry to the music business - all with unique skills we bring to the job.

Join us!

PSI has operated in Haiti as a local NGO for more than 25 years, having launched products ranging from condoms to contraceptives, and ORS to safe water. In line with its institutional development vision, PSI Haiti has deepened its national roots, changing its name to reflect a more local entity now called Organisation Haitienne de Marketing Social pour la Santé (OHMaSS), and developing a more diverse board. Thanks to a dedicated team of 100+ staff members, PSI is the principal recipient of Global Fund resources for Malaria, HIV and TB, with a total of roughly $105m until December 2020.

PSI seeks qualified candidates for a Manager of Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) position within OHMaSS.

The Manager of Research and M&E will be responsible for the planning, management and oversight of research, monitoring and evaluation activities. The Manager aims to design, develop, coordinate, and execute all M&E and research activities to support the improvement and ultimate achievement of OHMaSS' programs.

The Manager will ensure full compliance with research ethics and standards in working with human subjects. As such, the Manager will ensure that all protocols involving human subjects are approved by PSI Research Ethic Board (ERB). For research activities requiring the involvement of third-party research agencies, the Manager will provide training on OHMaSS research ethics & standards and will ensure systematic screening for potential entities who may be subject to a sanctions list.

After each study, the manager will ensure to communicate results to program teams, partners and funders in the most effective way for improving programs and driving strategic decision making.

Bottom line: we are looking for someone who can spearhead ongoing research and M&E activities, as well transform data into decisions—decisions that can improve our programs' impact, decisions on how to adapt and course-correct our activities, decisions on what to propose new donors to pursue our vision.
