Against Malaria Foundation (AMF)
Senior Operations Manager
Full time
Job Description
AMF profile
Against Malaria Foundation (AMF) was founded in 2004 and is a charity that fights malaria in a highly effective, accountable and transparent way.
We do this by purchasing and distributing multiple millions of long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs) at a time in nationwide universal coverage campaigns. This is the most cost effective way of preventing malaria. AMF receives donations from the public and in the current financial year to date have received over US$125m. AMF is particularly data-focused and monitors and reports on net use and drives and supports innovation to improve the effectiveness of malaria programmes.
AMF is the world’s third largest funder of nets.
AMF has been rated a top charity for all of the last 16 years by independent charity evaluators GiveWell and The Life You Can Save who focus on cost-effectiveness and impact.
We are a team of thirteen highly motivated individuals with different skills and experience. Each person has an important role to play. All team members work remotely with constant communication between them. While the team is small, the impact is big - our net distributions protect millions of people. Our largest programme is in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where we are funding 55 million nets to protect 100 million people for distribution during 2024 to 2026. We have ongoing multi-million net programmes in other countries including Chad, Guinea, Nigeria, Togo, Uganda and Zambia.
Role Description
Our activities and commitments are steadily increasing, and 2025 and 2026 will be particularly busy years of distributions, with over ~100m nets planned for distribution.

The ideal candidate will be comfortable taking on significant responsibility by leading on several of AMF’s programmes.
The role will include involvement in all stages of a distribution campaign (pre-agreement, net procurement, post-agreement, during distribution, and post distribution) across two main areas:
- Work with National Malaria Control Programmes (NMCPs)
- Work with AMF’s independent monitoring partners
Further information
The Senior Operations Manager will lead on several of AMF’s programmes. They will work closely with NMCPs, in country partners, AMF independent monitors, the AMF Operations and Technology teams to ensure the success of AMF distributions.
More specifically, they will manage the distributions through the following stages:
1 - Pre agreement
- Establishing the funding gap
- Establishing the net need, malaria burden, insecticide resistance data
- Working with the Ministry of Health to negotiate and put in place an agreement for the programme
2 - Net procurement
- Working with AMF’s procurement lead to order nets in time for the distribution
3 - Post-agreement

4 - During the distribution
- Track information coming from monitoring partners
- Analyse with the Head of Analytics registration and distribution data and take actions if needed
- Account for all AMF nets
5 - Post distribution
- Tender for and select an independent partner for post distribution monitoring, and work closely with this partner to carry out surveys at 9, 18 and 27 months post-distribution
- Share results with in-country partners and encourage appropriate actions to be taken
Through these stages, it will be important to maintain strong relationships with the key partners, notably the National Malaria Control Programmes, distribution partners and cofounding partners to ensure that distributions are carried out according to the agreements signed between the Ministry of Health and AMF.
These relationships will ensure that solutions can be found constructively to issues that arise during implementation of AMF’s programmes. Aside from the areas above, there will be other work related to AMF Group Operations, dependent on the candidate’s skill set.
Characteristics of the successful candidate

Salary, Benefits, and How to Apply
The salary range for this role is mapped to years of experience and region and you can find our 2025 salary bands here. At the Centre for Public Impact, we are committed to countering pay inequality and recently completed a global compensation benchmarking process to ensure that we're paying our staff fairly and well for the roles that they hold and therefore, salaries at CPI are non-negotiable.
We currently do not have salary bands for Mexico, and if you reside in Mexico and are successful in advancing in your candidacy, we want to be transparent that we may need to extend our hiring process timeline (possibly by a month) to allow CPI to expand our infrastructure further to support you. This means that we warmly welcome your application, and that our timelines will necessarily be more emergent (including the ability to provide transparent salary data for Mexico) with a delay in the start date based on the review of your application and the outcomes of the interview process.
CPI offers comprehensive benefits to its employees including a range of high-quality health, dental, and vision plans for individuals and their families; pension contribution as applicable; dedicated professional development funds; generous paid leave and public holidays; paid parental leave and extended illness leave; and a year-end organisation-wide closure. We are a remote-first organisation open to qualified candidates anywhere in the countries listed above. We anticipate this position will require approximately 2-3 travel events per year.
To advance our purpose of reimagining government so that it works for everyone, CPI seeks to attract and support a diversity of backgrounds, experience, talent and thought. For this reason, we encourage applicants from all backgrounds to apply. This includes candidates that have previously found it hard to be considered for other positions on the basis of their disabilities, personal background or life events. If you would like to apply for the position but see a barrier to joining us, please do apply and we will work with you to find a solution. You can also read our full Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Policy here.
We are using Applied in order to reduce bias in our hiring process and ensure that we are shortlisting candidates based on their skills and ideas. Please note that we do not ask for a cover letter and instead, the application requires four paragraph-length answers.
We understand applicants may need to use AI tools as thought partners or for light assistance during the application process. However, we are looking for original work that reflects your unique perspective, skills and reflections borne out of lived experiences. Please do not submit content that is directly copied or heavily reliant on AI as these will be flagged and marked down. All answers are anonymised, then read and reviewed one by one by humans on the review team who score your sift responses to ensure applications maintain authenticity, so any AI-generated content should be thoughtfully integrated rather than directly pasted.
