The Team The Africa Team works to advance the foundation’s mission across the continent by scaling evidence-based innovations and driving systems-level impact in health, agriculture, and digital transformation. With a presence in five offices - Ethiopia, Nigeria, Kenya, Senegal, and South Africa - the team is comprised of about 180 people. Together, we collaborate deeply with country governments, regional institutions, private sector actors, and civil society to drive African-led development through a strong network of partners and programs across the continent. The Africa Team ensures the foundation’s global priorities are informed by and grounded in local contexts, enabling greater relevance, sustainability, and impact for the communities we aim to serve. Application Deadline: 19/4/2026 Your Role The Deputy Director, AI Delivery & Government Partnerships will lead the Foundation’s AI agenda across Africa, translating modern AI capabilities into trusted, practical, and cost-effective programs that measurably improve outcomes for underserved populations in low- and middle-income country (LMIC) contexts. This is a delivery-first leadership role: building high-trust partnerships with governments and public institutions; strengthening and connecting AI hubs across the continent; and driving priority initiatives that draw on partnerships with platform providers from design through adoption and sustained impact. The role requires equal command of technology strategy and institutional delivery, navigating the political economies and resource realities of African public sectors. The Deputy Director will manage a focused team and serve as a regional integrator within the Africa Regional Offices (ARO), working across Data & Digital, Health Systems, Public Financial Management (PFM), Product Introduction, and Government Relations functions, as well as with global counterparts, to ensure AI deployments fit institutional realities, budget constraints, and public sector operating models. The Deputy Director will inherit a strong foundation of AI delivery work already underway across the continent. Current priority workstreams include scaling three established AI hubs and expanding to a fourth in Kenya; operationalizing Rwanda’s National Health Innovation Center (NHIC) model as a potential blueprint for other geographies; moving self-care AI applications into implementation, beginning with HIV programs in South Africa and Malawi and expanding to maternal, newborn, and child health and family planning; and supporting platform partnerships and deployment of tangible use cases with a range platform providers including initiatives such. Beyond these flagship initiatives, the role will oversee global goods development, provide active advisory support to ensure AI integration remains connected to ARO’s broader strategy, and lead internal AI capacity-building across ARO.
