About PIH-US

Partners In Health United States (PIH-US) is the U.S. arm of Partners In Health, a nonprofit, social justice organization. We envision a future in which health is a human right, not a privilege in the United States. We seek the transformation of health and social systems so that structures of oppression no longer determine the quality or length of a person’s life.

PIH-US accompanies visionary public health and community partners working to build strong, integrated, community-led health systems across the US. PIH-US currently supports local health departments, health providers, elected officials, and community leaders to define clear health and racial equity agendas, and provides technical advising and operational support to deliver on those commitments. Our current focus communities include: Montgomery, Alabama; Chicago, Illinois; Immokalee, Florida; Newark, New Jersey; Massachusetts; North Carolina; and Pima County, Arizona. We capture learnings from across this network to mobilize resources, advance policy change, and lay the groundwork for stronger community health systems nationally.

Position Overview

The Senior Project Manager will join a growing team dedicated to supporting the Department of Health and Community Wellness (DHCW) along with other community partners in the greater Newark area. The DHCW is responsible for all things related to public health within the city limits, and also operates its own in-house Federally Qualified Health Center – the Mary Eliza Mahoney Health Center – which provides essential primary healthcare services to low-income Newark residents. The PIH Newark team was created in April 2020 to help the DHCW respond to the COVID-19 pandemic through technical advising on contact tracing, testing, vaccine roll-out and other critical response issues. Since then, our work has transitioned to support the DHCW in their efforts to improve primary healthcare and public health for all Newark residents. We now work in the areas of health analytics and informatics; primary healthcare advising; strategy development and resource mobilization.

The Senior Project Manager, in close coordination with the team’s Senior Technical Advisor, will be responsible for the day to day technical operations of PIH’s collaboration with the DHCW and other partners in Newark. This will include supporting the broad range of PIH activities in Newark; liaising directly with DHCW staff and other community partners; managing the team’s Associate; and bringing sharp, rigorous analytical abilities to bear on the challenging primary healthcare problems that we are jointly working to solve.
