Job Overview
Position Overview
CHAI is seeking a Program Officer to support delivery of its work on TB vaccine readiness in Indonesia. Working under the direction of the Senior Program Manager, Vaccines, the Program Officer will execute defined workstreams and activities within the TB vaccine readiness project and contribute to the larger, more complex components led by the Senior Program Manager. This is a hands-on delivery role: the Program Officer will conduct quantitative and qualitative analyses with high-quality outputs, gather, review and validate the underlying data, produce well-structured written materials, and keep day-to-day coordination with government and other stakeholders on track.
The role suits someone early in their program career who is highly organized, comfortable with quantitative work, and eager to build technical depth in vaccine introduction readiness. The Program Officer works independently on routine tasks and seeks guidance on non-routine or technically complex work. The Program Officer will report to the Senior Program Manager, Vaccines, CHAI Indonesia.

- Identify systemic data and process issues and recommend remedial solutions, escalating non-routine issues promptly with the relevant background and options for resolution, and with an understanding of the wider implications for project timelines, budgets, and government relationships.
- Identify opportunities to improve processes and create work efficiencies within the project, and share knowledge, tools, and lessons learned from Indonesia internally with CHAI colleagues and the global vaccines team.
- Support financial management of assigned activities, including preparing activity budgets with reasonable cost assumptions for review, tracking expenditure against approved budgets, and preparing supporting documentation in line with CHAI and donor requirements.
- Support internal program management, including monitoring progress against key outputs, maintaining the project repository, and contributing inputs to periodic program and donor reporting.
