About The Syphilis-Free Start Team

Every year, there are over 200,000 stillbirths and newborn deaths and over 100,000 instances of disability among newborns because of a preventable infection; maternal syphilis. In fact, the infection causes more stillbirths and newborn deaths than pediatric HIV, yet receives only a fraction of the resources.

Through our Syphilis-Free Start (SFS) program, our aim is to close syphilis screening gaps via introduction of HIV/syphilis dual testing and to close treatment gaps by implementing strategies to address context-specific treatment barriers for women who test positive for syphilis. We've already reached mothers across Liberia, Zambia, Cameroon, and Côte d'Ivoire, with new pilots underway in Indonesia and are continuing to scope our programs in additional geographies.

Our Syphilis Free Start team is hiring two (2) program associates; one who will help support our teams in our existing footprint across Liberia, Zambia, Cote d’Ivoire, and Cameroon, while the other who will manage scoping research and supporting stakeholder engagement for prospective future geographies. You'll report to the (Senior) Manager and play a key role in supporting one of the most urgent and achievable maternal health goals of our time!
