In her time in parliament Jo Cox MP established a commission on loneliness with Seema Kennedy MP. After her murder this became known as the Jo Cox Loneliness Commission, and was pivotal in bringing about and influencing the UK government’s first loneliness strategy.

As MSI's Director of “Leave No One Behind” Strategy, you'll be at the forefront of transforming how essential Sexual Reproductive Healthcare reaches the world's most underserved communities. This senior leadership role combines strategic innovation with hands-on impact. You will help shape global health policy, pioneer new service delivery models, and work with teams worldwide to break down barriers to healthcare access.

About MSI

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 safe abortion and life-saving post-abortion care, we are committed to delivering compassionate, affordable, high-quality services for all.

Today, our organisation has almost 9,000 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.

About the Role

MSI provides services via our Outreach, Public Sector Strengthening and MSladies channels to underserved and marginalised communities. In MSI we call these “Pillar1, Leave no-one behind channels”. These channels are the core of our high impact delivery (high impact clients, adolescents, those living in poverty).  

Specifically, the role is accountable for: 1) engaging and representing MSI in sector dialogue relating to Pillar 1 to contribute to sector learning, influence and impact; 2) development of pillar 1 operational best practices that can be cascaded across MSI countries to further improve impact; 3) developing MSI overarching “Leave no-one behind” strategy and leading testing of new models of service delivery  

The Director is a member of the Senior Leadership Team of MSI and is a member of the Technical Services Team. This role reports to the VP & Director of the Technical Services Department. There is a high level of interaction with MSI’s Executive Team, Regional Directors Fundraising team. It is a full-time role, based out of London or core countries where MSI has an operating entity, with possibility of remote work for exceptional candidates.  This role will require extensive travel to MSI Country Programmes in Africa and Asia, London, Europe and USA to ensure that we are in the right places, at the right time, among the right people to further our mission.

About You

For us, it’s vital that every MSI team member believes in and is committed to our organisational mission, vision and values. This means that we will only accept applications from candidates who are unequivocally pro-choice.

Our values act as guiding principles, providing us with a clear direction. They set the tone for how we approach our work, interact with others and align ourselves as ‘One MSI’. It’s important that our team members truly resonate with our values and demonstrate them consistently, in all that they do.

We recruit talented, dynamic individuals with diverse backgrounds who share our mission and are focused on delivering measurable results. As an equal opportunity employer, we are committed to fostering an inclusive workplace where everyone can participate and contribute meaningfully. We value open-mindedness, curiosity, resilience, and a solutions-oriented mindset, alongside a commitment to promoting equality and safeguarding the welfare of both team members and clients.

We seek exceptional communicators who are self-motivated, solutions-driven, and aligned with MSI’s mission and entrepreneurial mindset. You should be dedicated to driving social change in an environment focused on sustainable impact, both locally and globally, and comfortable working with diverse teams in an ambiguous setting.

To perform in this role, you’ll need the following skills and experience:

The ideal candidate for this role will bring a unique blend of technical expertise, strategic thinking, and leadership skills to drive our mission forward. We are looking for someone who can navigate the complex landscape of global sexual and reproductive health and rights with confidence and innovation.

• You should possess a comprehensive understanding of SRHR guidelines, policies, and best practices on a global scale. Your knowledge should span across short-acting and long-acting contraception methods, safe abortion practices, and strategies for reaching adolescents and marginalized communities. A strong background in health system strengthening is crucial, including familiarity with different health system frameworks and how they contribute to overall system performance.
• Significant technical experience at an advisory level in SRHR. Have designed and produced best practice guidelines or training materials related to SRHR best practices, and operations, especially in remote service delivery, SRHR in the public sector; or in reaching adolescents. An understanding of global and regional SRHR trends, as well as awareness of the latest research and evidence-based practices, will be invaluable in this role.
• Strategic acumen: We're seeking a strategic thinker who can translate complex data into actionable insights. You should be adept at identifying unmet consumer needs and market gaps, and able to develop compelling strategies that align with our broader business objectives. Your ability to anticipate future scenarios and develop innovative responses will be crucial in navigating the ever-changing landscape of SRHR.

• Leadership: The role requires exceptional leadership skills, particularly in "boundary spanning" – the ability to inspire and facilitate cross-disciplinary collaboration. You should be comfortable working across cultures and at all levels of organizations, (including the Executive Team at MS)I, building trust and fostering collaboration among team members, partners, and decision-makers. You should possess a track record in achieving ambitious goals at a senior level.
• Communication: Your communication skills should be “top-notch”, allowing you to present complex ideas with clarity and confidence in various settings, from international conferences, donor meetings to practical technical workshops. We're looking for someone who can tell compelling data-driven stories, translating technical information for both expert and non-expert audiences.
• Problem solving and analytical thinking: You should bring highly developed critical thinking and problem-solving skills to the table. We need someone who can approach complex issues methodically, identifying patterns and trends in information, and proposing practical, innovative solutions. Your ability to work creatively with limited resources and adapt quickly to changes in the SRHR sector will be critical.
• Fundraising and Networking: We are looking for someone with a wide network of contacts at senior levels within the SRHR sector, who can leverage these relationships to further our mission and foster innovation and learning.
• Ideal Additional Qualifications: While not required, we would value candidates who bring additional skills such as: fluency in French, direct experience as an SRHR healthcare professional, knowledge of climate change impacts on SRHR, and expertise in integrating gender equity and social inclusion into contraception programs.

If you're passionate about making a global impact on sexual and reproductive health and rights, and you possess this unique blend of skills and experience, we want to hear from you. Join us in our mission to leave no one behind in accessing crucial SRHR services.
