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.
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. If this sounds like your cup of tea, read on!
Sound like you? Read on.

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.
