About Ariel Glaser Foundation

The Ariel Glaser Foundation works in close partnership with the Ministry of Health (MISAU), the National Directorate of Military Health (DNSM) under the Ministry of National Defense, and the Military Health Department of the General Staff of the Armed Defense Forces of Mozambique (DSM-EMG/FADM), with international funding from DHAPP/DoD.

Its mission: specialized technical advisory, in-service capacity building, and operational innovation across the Defense sector's network of health units — hospitals, health centers, military medical posts, and training centers — benefiting military personnel, military dependents, and surrounding communities.

The program focuses on military health, but its coordination and continuity of care depend on active civil-military collaboration between Military Health and MISAU, from the central level to the provincial (DPS) and district (SDSMAS) levels.

What you will do

The Senior Technical Advisor serves as the Foundation's permanent technical liaison to the DNSM leadership and the EMG health command: routing the needs of military health echelons into program plans and aligning MISAU clinical guidelines with DHAPP/PEPFAR requirements.

• Serve as the executive focal point and senior technical consultant between Foundation teams and the Office of the National Director of DNSM and the leadership of DSM-EMG/FADM, proactively identifying logistical, operational, and human resource needs of military health units.
• Align MISAU clinical protocols and M&E frameworks, as well as DHAPP guidelines, with field manuals, chain of command, and military discipline.
• Lead the harmonization of the ART clinical package: same-day initiation, transition to Dolutegravir-based regimens (TLD), and management of treatment failures across the entire network of military health facilities.
• Support DNSM in the systematic screening and management of Advanced HIV Disease (AHD) — access to CD4, TB-LAM, and CrAg — in military triage and inpatient settings.
• Ensure TB screening coverage among personnel and dependents on ART, as well as completion of short-course preventive treatment regimens (TPT and 3HP).
• Support military hospital clinical directors in discussing complex cases and conducting mortality audits.
• Develop therapeutic continuity guidelines for personnel on operational deployments, peacekeeping missions, and border posts — with absolute medical confidentiality: no direct observation of drug intake before superiors, multi-month dispensing, protected consultations, and confidential psychosocial support.

• Lead the establishment and strengthening of Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) Committees in supported facilities, using PDSA cycles, clinical audits, and Master Cards (Fichas Mestras).
• Coordinate the semi-annual application of OCA organizational capacity assessment matrices and readiness scorecards, functional transition plans, and remediation processes (Off-Ramp) for facilities experiencing setbacks.
• Build a permanent cadre of military clinical mentors: bedside mentorship with regional chief medical officers, rapid induction manuals, and preventive redundancy for critical roles.
• Co-facilitate high-level technical dialogue (Ariel Glaser, DNSM, DSM-EMG, DHAPP) and train military health directors in using analytical dashboards (Power BI, OpenMRS) for resource allocation and planning.

Context

The goal of the position is to ensure progressive autonomy and operational readiness of the Armed Forces' medical staff, without reliance on external technical assistance. You will balance two lines of authority — technical (Foundation and donor) and military command — preventing friction and implementation delays.

Conditions

You will work in one of the most structured HIV/TB and clinical quality programs in Mozambique's military health sector, funded by a leading donor. Compensation is not published: terms will be agreed upon with the Foundation during the hiring process.
