Who we are
Be Part of Something Powerful and Different
We’re
Population Services International (better known as “PSI”), a global
health non-profit. We aim to make it easier for people in the developing
world to be healthy and plan their families by marketing affordable
health products and services (think mosquito nets, condoms, HIV testing
and more). We are a $640m enterprise based in Washington, DC, operating
in the private and public sectors in more than 60 countries. Check out www.psi.org for more on what gets us out of bed in the morning.
Join us!
PSI’s Asia Region uses commercial sector marketing know-how to improve health systems in ten countries. We are looking for a skilled and dynamic marketing specialist dedicated to
making markets work for the poor and vulnerable. We have an ambitious
agenda that includes designing social enterprise models and working
alongside national health systems to deliver products and services that
transform lives. The Regional Marketing Advisor will be the strategic
lead for marketing in Asia at a moment of profound change and
opportunity. The Regional Marketing Advisor will be joining the Asia
Regional Technical Team and will work closely with the Global Marketing
Team.
A BIT ABOUT THE GLOBAL MARKETING TEAM
We
are looking for a values-driven professional who is looking to make a
positive social impact. Someone who believes commercial business and
marketing approaches can help address health problems around the world.
We are a dynamic team based in Washington, DC and around the world. We
are adept at operating in a diffuse, resource constrained environment to
apply clear-eyed and cutting-edge marketing approaches that generate
real improvements in the lives of those we serve. We add value through
building and implementing marketing tools that take our country
operations to the next level. We connect with our colleagues by driving
changes that make their marketing and management decisions easier and
better. We build confidence through building trust. And we try to fail
fast – and learn from those failures. We don’t toil in an ivory tower.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR.
“Street Cred.” You have 8+ years experience generating tangible results in the consumer or pharmaceutical marketing fields, including experience in a variety of resource-challenged settings.
Flexibility. You are a proactive leader who catalyzes innovation by influencing strategy and working through others.
Think big. You care about pressing issues, like improving the health of the world’s poor. Impact is a priority.
Humble. You realize what you
don’t know is a lot more than what you know, and you don’t care who
gets credit for real progress. You relish the challenge of driving
change through persuasion and influence, not delegation.
Curious. You’re an information sponge and understand that what worked yesterday won’t necessarily work today (or tomorrow), that each context requires a new set of eyes.
Analytical. You know your way around a P&L, have a thorough knowledge of consumer and market research, and can speak in cost accounting terms.
Simplify. You quickly distill complexity to essential and simple concepts and approaches.
Full speed ahead. You balance thorough thinking with informed action, but realize the best learning is done through doing.
Communications ninja. You get your message across with style. You boil it down when clarity is key and embroider it when a sale hangs in the balance.
