Mission
Malaria remains one of the most persistent global health challenges, causing over 600,000 deaths annually and demanding data-driven strategies to optimize interventions and maximize the impact of limited resources. Sub-National Tailoring (SNT) plays a central role in malaria elimination by helping countries allocate interventions based on localized epidemiological, environmental and contextual data. However, current SNT implementation is hindered by fragmented methodologies, limited transparency and a heavy reliance on external consultants.
Bluesquare is supporting the development and rollout of the SNT Digital Toolbox, a strategic data platform designed to strengthen malaria risk stratification, intervention planning and resource allocation across multiple high-burden countries. The project is implemented in close collaboration with national malaria programs (NMPs), global technical partners, and Bluesquare’s product and technical teams.
We are recruiting a Project Manager to support the coordination and expansion of Subnational Tailoring for malaria (SNT) activities across countries. The Project Manager will report to the main SNT Project Manager and the Project Management (PM) Team Lead, and will work closely with the SNT product team and relevant practice leads.
The overarching mission of the role is to contribute to the establishment of a scalable and country-owned SNT platform, enabling NMPs to independently manage the full SNT cycle by the time of Global Fund GC9.
Start date: As soon as possible, ideally January 2026.
Duration: 6 months, renewable.
Working time: 80% (specific days to be determined).
Location: The position is ideally based in one of Bluesquare’s countries of operation and must allow for easy travel to the SNT project’s priority countries. This is a local position.
Team: Bluesquare has over 80 staff members across several countries, including Senegal, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Niger, Cameroon, DRC, Burundi and Belgium.
We value autonomy, flexibility, communication and teamwork. We strive for excellence in the solutions we deliver to urgent challenges, while supporting the personal and professional development of our staff. We also place great importance on work–life balance and the well-being of our teams.
