Company Overview

Who We Are
Jhpiego (pronounced "ja-pie-go"), is an international non-profit health organization affiliated with Johns Hopkins University. For 35 years, Jhpiego has empowered front-line health workers by designing and implementing effective, low-cost, hands-on solutions to strengthen the delivery of health care services for women and their families. By putting evidence-based health innovations into everyday practice, Jhpiego works to break down barriers to high-quality health care for the world’s most vulnerable populations.

Mission — Jhpiego enhances the health and saves the lives of women and families in limited-resource settings. For nearly four decades, we have put evidence-based health innovations into everyday practice to overcome barriers to high-quality health care services for the world's most vulnerable populations. From our origins as technical experts in reproductive, maternal and child health, Jhpiego has grown to embrace new challenges, including HIV/AIDS, malaria and cervical cancer prevention—reflecting the increasing interconnectedness of global health.

Vision — Jhpiego empowers front-line health workers by designing and implementing effective, low cost, hands-on solutions that strengthen the delivery of health care services, following the household-to-hospital continuum of care. We partner with organizations from the community to the national level, building sustainable, local capacity through advocacy, policy development, and quality and performance improvement approaches.

Approach
Jhpiego’s program management strategy recognizes the technical complexity and geographical, cultural, socio-economic and political diversity among our programs. We develop global program initiatives and technical interventions that can be adapted for country-specific applications. In support of this field-driven philosophy, Jhpiego uses a decentralized organizational structure that consists of a global "delivery system" designed to implement the entire portfolio of Jhpiego awards with assistance from key technical, programmatic and administrative staff.

Careers: Working to Make a Difference
We are proud of our contribution to improving the health of women and children throughout the world and recognize that our leadership position in international public health is due to the excellence and dedication of our staff, both in the field and in our Baltimore headquarters.

Culture
Our work culture is reflected in our team spirit, transparent communication, mutual respect, flexibility, and dedication. In addition, Jhpiego provides its employees with a challenging professional environment that encourages innovative thinking and personal initiative. Continuous learning and professional growth are encouraged through access to the educational resources of The Johns Hopkins University.

Benefits
As an affiliate of The Johns Hopkins University, Jhpiego offers competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package to its employees. The package includes health and dental plans, life and disability insurance, pension/retirement plans, flexible spending programs, and employee and dependent tuition support. Other benefits such as relocation assistance and cost of living may apply for overseas employees. (Benefits vary by country for Jhpiego employees hired locally in our countries of operation.)
