Overview

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is one of the world's premier centers for research and treatment of catastrophic diseases in children, primarily pediatric cancers. Headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee in the United States, St. Jude seeks to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Within St. Jude, the Department of Global Pediatric Medicine (GPM) is a growing department looking for professionals who are eager to help implement the St. Jude Global (SJG) mission by training the clinical workforce, developing and strengthening health systems and patient-centered initiatives, and advancing knowledge to sustain continuous improvement through research.

St. Jude Global has worked actively in South Asian countries such as India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka for a number of years, and has established partnerships with more than 20 institutions in the region.

• Managing relationships with a range of stakeholders inside St. Jude, including facilitating connections between internal groups and partners in the region;

• Overseeing the Regional Program team members (currently one position), managing their performance and development;
