Nexleaf Analytics Islamabad, Islamabad Capital Territory, Pakistan Full-time 2024-01-26

Join Our Mission

Nexleaf Analytics is at the forefront of technological innovation, committed to safeguarding public health in low- and middle-income countries. Our cutting-edge solutions, including remote-temperature monitoring for vaccine cold-chain equipment, are operational in over 25 countries, fundamentally supporting vital health infrastructure.

Nexleaf is poised to expand its impact significantly in 2024 and beyond. Data on the performance and utilization of medical equipment is becoming increasingly available, but countries are struggling to integrate and apply this data for action. Nexleaf envisions a ‘Connected Clinic’ – a transformative concept aimed at fostering transparency, accountability, and enhanced health outcomes through the strategic use of data. We believe this approach will shape health services in a way that prioritizes local needs and sustainability, moving beyond donor-driven models to ones that truly resonate with the communities we serve.

Your Role 

The Project Manager will be part of a team dedicated to co-creating the Rapid Response and Repair program (R3), a crucial component of our Connected Clinic vision. R3 involves developing a set of practices, training, and management rituals for Governments to effectively utilize data for action in managing cold chain equipment. In this role, close collaboration with local Ministries and stakeholders is essential to co-design the program for each respective country. Operating collaboratively across the organization to share insights and key learnings, this position holds the responsibility of designing and implementing the solution tailored to the needs of the local government.
