Position: Program Associate, Partnership to Reuse, Refill, Replace Single-Use Packaging (PR3) (PDF) Location: Washington, DC; applicants in other locations may be considered Program: Healthy Communities Supervisor: Senior Program Manager, Healthy Communities Post Date: February 24, 2023
RESOLVE’s Public-Private Partnership to Reuse, Refill and Replace Single-Use Packaging (PR3) is hiring a Program Associate, seeking highly-organized, motivated applicants passionate about plastic and packaging reduction and systems change.
PR3’s mission is to enable and accelerate the alignment and scaling of reuse systems around the world. Over three years, drawing on input from across the value chain, PR3 created system design standards meant to align returnable packaging –regardless of producer– with shared infrastructure for collection, washing, and transport. Standardized systems and infrastructure will help transform the current landscape of disconnected, small-scale, reuse programs and pilots into full-scale, interoperable public-private systems. Through this work, PR3 has become a hub for solutions in the global plastic reduction and reusable packaging systems space.
PR3 is now embedding these standards into emerging reuse systems around the world. We are also launching a multi-year, multi-stakeholder process to accredit PR3 standards through the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and International Organization on Standardisation (ISO).
The Program Associate will be an integral member of PR3’s team. The Program Associate will be responsible for day-to-day support tasks as directed by PR3’s Project Manager and Directors including, work planning, scheduling, grant tracking, and project research, among other tasks. One of their primary roles will be to support shepherding of PR3’s standards-setting process, which will involve coordinating multiple workgroups, careful document control, and regular public notices. RESOLVE staff are expected to learn, follow, and support RESOLVE’s administrative processes, including those for invoicing, contracting, budgeting, program reporting, and website maintenance.

Position: Program Coordinator, Healthcare Electrification and Telecommunication Alliance (HETA) (PDF) Post Date: January 19, 2023
RESOLVE is a core partner of the Healthcare Electrification and Telecommunication Alliance (HETA), a USAID Global Development Alliance (GDA) providing rural and semi-rural health facilities in sub-Saharan Africa with reliable electricity and internet connectivity. Over the next eight to ten years, HETA aims to electrify and connect 10,000 healthcare facilities. A key objective is to address the sustainability challenges associated with health facility electrification through market-based approaches, leveraging technical and financial resources from private sector partners. These efforts will complement USAID’s Global Health Strategy and the forthcoming USAID Climate Strategy through the promotion and uptake of cleaner, renewable energy solutions that power health facilities and, in turn, mitigate air pollution and carbon emissions from this growing sector while improving progress toward health goals.
One of RESOLVE’s primary roles on this project is to create HETA’s partner structure, forming the organizing body through which HETA’s leverage partners will engage with and support the GDA. This will involve conceptualizing the structure, charter, and membership requirements and working with Abt Associates and other core partners to fundraise and recruit members, coordinate the formation and management of appropriate subcommittees, and ensure members remain informed of HETA activities and opportunities for collaboration. Ultimately, the goal for this body is to have it become a self-sustaining entity that carries forward HETA’s mission independent of USAID’s investments by the end of the five-year GDA.
RESOLVE is hiring a Program Coordinator to support senior staff on RESOLVE’s HETA team in fulfilling RESOLVE’s role under HETA. The Program Coordinator will be responsible for day-to-day projects and task coordination, including work planning, tracking and ensuring completion of program deliverables, grant coordination and reporting, and supporting partner engagement and communications, among other tasks. The Program Coordinator will also work closely with RESOLVE facilitators to organize and run Alliance member meetings and other events. RESOLVE staff are expected to learn, follow, and support RESOLVE’s administrative processes, including those for invoicing, contracting, budgeting, program reporting, and website maintenance.
Under HETA, RESOLVE is a sub-awardee contracted by the award’s Prime, Abt Associates. All RESOLVE Program staff, including the Program Coordinator, will be expected to collaborate closely with Abt and the broader HETA team, including the HETA Executive Management Committee, which will provide oversight of the program as a whole. RESOLVE is based in Washington, D.C., but periodic travel in the U.S. and internationally (approximately 10%) will be expected throughout the program term. This position is contingent upon award.
Applicants must have a bachelor’s degree and have a minimum of 2-3 years of project coordination experience. Demonstrated interest and experience in international development and/or public health and/or alternative energy systems preferred.
This is a fulltime position. The pay range for this position is dependent on location. For an employee based in Washington, D.C., the current salary range is $55,000 - $60,000, with specific placement in the range depending on qualifications, experience, and demonstrated skillset.
