- Ensure availability and use of relevant Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and job aids across all supported sites.
- Identify training needs and assist in organizing basic and refresher training for healthcare providers and facility staff using national supply chain curricula.
- Represent the project in regional and district meetings related to supply chain management, providing technical input and updates in line with Ministry of Health and PEPFAR standards.
- Represent the project in national and stakeholder forums, technical working groups (TWGs), and SCM-related reporting and presentation sessions.
- Support timely and accurate reporting of logistics data and ensure documentation aligns with donor and national requirements.
- Contribute to preparation of reports on commodity status, forecasting outcomes, and identified gaps for management decision-making.
- Perform any other related responsibilities assigned by the line manager to support project implementation and operational efficiency.
Qualifications
Education and Experience
- Bachelor's degree in pharmacy with a strong background in pharmaceutical supply chain management and logistics.
- Minimum of three (3) years of experience in pharmaceutical supply chain management, logistics, or related fields within public health programs.
- Experience working with donor-funded programs (e.g., PEPFAR) and familiarity with program implementation procedures and reporting systems preferred.
Skills and Competencies:
- Strong technical knowledge of HIV/AIDS supply chain systems and logistics information systems (e.g., e-LMIS).
- Excellent written and oral communication skills in both English and Kiswahili, with demonstrated ability to train and mentor facility staff and local government teams.
- Strong leadership, coordination, and team-building abilities.
- Proven ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and meet deadlines under minimal supervision.
- Commitment to accuracy, attention to detail, and continuous improvement.
