About ITPC Global

The International Treatment Preparedness Coalition (ITPC) is a global organization dedicated to advancing health and social justice through community-led advocacy, policy engagement, and equitable healthcare systems.

For more than two decades, ITPC has worked alongside communities affected by health inequities to improve access to medicines, diagnostics, and healthcare services worldwide. Through its Make Medicines Affordable (MMA) strategic initiative, the organization challenges barriers to healthcare access while advocating for intellectual property reform, pharmaceutical transparency, and equitable global health systems.

ITPC works across regions and countries to strengthen community-driven solutions and empower people most affected by healthcare inequality.

About the MMA Program Assistant Role

ITPC is currently recruiting a full-time MMA Program Assistant to support its Make Medicines Affordable strategic focus area. The successful candidate will provide administrative, operational, and coordination support to the MMA team while helping ensure smooth implementation of global health projects and partnerships.

This is a fixed-term remote position ending on December 31, 2027, with preference given to candidates located within CET, SAST, or similar time zones.

The role offers a unique opportunity to contribute directly to international advocacy efforts aimed at improving healthcare access and equity worldwide.

Key Responsibilities

Partnership and Stakeholder Coordination

Responsibilities include:

• Scheduling virtual meetings and calls with staff, partners, and stakeholders
• Preparing meeting minutes and tracking action points
• Maintaining updated partner and stakeholder records

Project Administration

The role also includes significant administrative and operational responsibilities such as:

• Managing calendars and meeting logistics
• Supporting travel coordination and event planning
• Assisting with consultant coordination and invoice processing
• Supporting contract tracking and procurement documentation
• Helping manage small grants processes and partner reporting compliance
• Assisting with monitoring, evaluation, and donor reporting activities

Strong organizational skills and attention to detail will be essential for success in this role.

Executive and Program Support

The MMA Program Assistant will provide direct support to ITPC leadership and program teams by:

• Assisting with scheduling and documentation preparation
• Supporting stakeholder engagement activities
• Helping coordinate workshops, conferences, and meetings
• Supporting reporting and communication processes

The role requires professionalism, adaptability, and the ability to work independently while maintaining strong collaboration with international teams.

As healthcare equity and access to medicines remain major global concerns, organizations like ITPC continue to play a vital role in advancing human rights and community-driven healthcare solutions.

This opportunity provides professionals with the chance to contribute to meaningful international advocacy while gaining valuable experience in nonprofit operations, global partnerships, and program coordination.

The fully remote structure also offers flexibility for professionals seeking international development careers without relocation requirements.

Individuals passionate about health justice, community empowerment, and global policy advocacy will find this role especially rewarding.
