Who we are
PSI is a network of locally rooted, globally connected organizations working to achieve consumer-powered healthcare — people-centered health systems that ensure quality, affordable care wherever and whenever it is needed. Our origins in sexual and reproductive health have grown into a broader mission. Today, we work with the public and private sectors as well as local communities, prioritizing people’s voice and choice and developing solutions to meet their essential health needs. Over the past five decades, we have helped push boundaries, break taboos, set trends, and develop innovative solutions to complex global health challenges.

Join us!
The Global Operations (Latin America/Asia) and Social Business Unit teams are looking for a dynamic individual who understands the basics of doing business and has a passion for consumer-powered health care. Specifically, you would be supporting a diverse portfolio of programs in Latin America, facilitating the connection between our donor-funded work and our for-profit business activities.

PSI seeks a fluent Spanish speaker for an Associate Program Manager that will support PSI's operational excellence and execution of quality and standards by providing wide-ranging operational and project management support to an assigned portfolio of countries or projects. This role works with country project teams, global technical and service departments, and strategic partners to ensure project objectives are met and are in compliance with donor requirements. This role manages the programmatic and financial health of a moderate complexity portfolio.

Salary Range:
$60,000 (MINIMUM) - $71,000 (MID-POINT) - $82,000 (MAXIMUM)
For US-based candidates, the annual base salary range is reflected above.* We value transparency and have provided the full salary range for this role. Actual base salary compensation will be determined by factors such as a candidate’s qualifications, experience, internal equity, external market analysis, and other business factors permitted by law. Hiring above the mid-point of the range would not be typical in order to allow for potential future salary growth. PSI offers a comprehensive benefits package which includes health care, retirement plan, generous leave, as well as other great benefits.

Measurement: You use hard evidence to make decisions and guide your work. You set clear goalposts in advance and explain clearly if you need to move them.

Honesty: You own your mistakes and are open about your shortcomings – it’s the only way you’ll learn and improve.
Collaboration: You’ll quickly establish a mental map of whom you can rely on for what, on your team, at headquarters, and in our country offices – if you try to do it all yourself, you won’t succeed.
Trust: You accept limits to your sphere of control and give colleagues the benefit of the doubt.
Commitment: You are in it for the long-haul and want to grow with the organization, just like PSI serves its consumers and partners with host-country governments through thick and thin.
