Location: Kano

Description

The Nigeria Hypertension Control Initiative (NHCI) is currently being implemented at scale across Kano and Ogun States, covering approximately 496 primary health care facilities (260 in Kano and 236 in Ogun), with full LGA-level coverage in both states.

• This expanding footprint reflects a strong platform for driving improved hypertension outcomes and health system strengthening.
• We are seeking a dynamic and experienced Program Manager to be based in Kano State, who will play a pivotal role in leading program implementation, optimizing performance, and driving strategic expansion.
• This position offers a unique opportunity to guide the next phase of NHCI growth, including potential scale-up to additional states, and contribute to measurable, nationwide improvements in hypertension prevention, diagnosis, and control.

Program Manager:

The Program Manager will provide strategic leadership, oversight, and accountability for the design, implementation, and performance management of the Nigeria Hypertension Control Initiative (NHCI).

• The role will ensure the delivery of a comprehensive, high-impact program that addresses critical gaps in hypertension prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management.
• Central to this function is the strengthening of health information systems to support patient tracking, improve quality of care, reduce loss to follow-up, and build sustainable capacity across LGAs, health facilities, and communities.
• Reporting to the Country Representative, the Program Manager will lead Project HOPE’s technical team to ensure effective planning, resource allocation, implementation, and monitoring of high-quality hypertension services.
• S/he will be responsible for translating strategic priorities into operational plans and actionable interventions, while providing technical leadership to support government efforts to expand coverage and strengthen hypertension control systems in Kano and Ogun States.
• The role will also drive resource mobilization and sustainability strategies, working in close collaboration with national and subnational stakeholders to institutionalize program gains within government systems.
• The Program Manager will oversee the timely development of high-quality programmatic and donor reports (quarterly, semi-annual, and annual), ensuring they capture progress, performance trends, lessons learned, and strategic insights to inform continuous improvement.
• Furthermore, the Program Manager will play a critical role in stakeholder engagement, partnership development, and coordination, fostering strong collaboration across government, partners, and communities.

This will ensure effective program delivery, alignment with national priorities, and the long-term sustainability and scale-up of hypertension control interventions within Nigeria’s health system.

• Facilitate effective stakeholder communication and collaboration, ensuring timely information sharing, alignment on program priorities, and resolution of implementation challenges across partners and government counterparts. 
• Promote and uphold Project HOPE’s values, principles, and technical standards throughout program implementation, ensuring they are well understood and consistently applied by all partners and stakeholders. 
• Enhance program visibility and advocacy efforts by supporting the dissemination of key achievements, lessons learned, and best practices across relevant platforms and audiences.
