Role Summary
Join MSI Reproductive Choices as Country Director in Uganda, leading impactful sexual and reproductive health programs.
About the Organisation
MSI Reproductive Choices is one of the world’s leading providers of sexual and reproductive healthcare. We believe that everyone should have the right to choose. From contraception to life-saving post-abortion care, we are committed to delivering compassionate, affordable, high-quality services for all.
Today, our organisation has around 10,000 team members working in 36 countries across the world. Our success lies in the fact that MSI teams are locally led, entrepreneurial and results-driven, and are passionate about delivering high quality, client-centred care in their own communities. As a social business, we focus on sustainable delivery, efficiency, and funding models that are built to last, so that the women and girls we serve today will have a choice in the future too.
We know that access to reproductive choice is life changing. For some, it can mean the ability to complete an education or start a career. For others, it means being able to look after the family they already have. For everyone, it means the freedom to decide their own future, creating a fairer, more equal world.
The Country Director is MSI’s most senior representative in Uganda. The role works closely with government, donors, and social business stakeholders to overcome barriers that prevent women and men from accessing safe, affordable, and reliable family planning and other sexual and reproductive health services. The Country Director is accountable for the overall strategy, leadership, and management of MSI Uganda, including programmatic, financial, operational, and administrative performance.
The role leads the delivery of MSI’s national family planning and sexual and reproductive health programmes through mobile outreach, public sector strengthening, social marketing, maternity services, and centres, managing for results, promoting innovation, and keeping clients at the heart of everything we do.
For us, it’s vital that every MSI team member believes in and is committed to our organisational mission, vision and values.
