About Last Mile Health
Last Mile Health saves lives in the world's most remote communities. Our vision is a health worker within reach of everyone, everywhere. We partner with governments to recruit, train, equip, and integrate professional community health workers into national health systems, equipping them to deliver quality primary care in rural and remote communities.

We are looking for mission-driven leaders to join us as we work to ensure no patient is out of reach.
About the Ethiopia Program
The Ethiopia team works in partnership with Ethiopia’s Ministry of Health to strengthen the country’s flagship Health Extension Program, a globally recognized model for delivering primary healthcare through more than 40,000 Health Extension Workers. Led by Abraham Zerihun , the team works to upskill the Health Extension Workers through blended learning that combines digital and in-person training. It also advances digital innovation through HEP Assist, an AI-powered clinical decision-support tool that helps Health Extension Workers provide evidence-based care at the point of service. The team's portfolio spans maternal, newborn, child health, nutrition, and non-communicable diseases, including hypertension, diabetes, eye care, and stroke prevention and management, while strengthening health systems through sustainable community health financing, resource mapping, and strategic planning to support long-term government leadership and program sustainability.
The Role
At Last Mile Health, we go as far as it takes for our patients. Do you have a strong clinical background and experience in field implementation, clinical quality assurance, and coordinating health programs? If so, you may be the next Technical Coordinator, HEP Assist AI at Last Mile Health in Ethiopia.
The Technical Coordinator will play a critical role in coordinating, clinically monitoring, and technically supporting the different stages of implementation of the HEP Assist AI project in Ethiopia. This role serves as the bridge between the field operations, clinical safety mechanisms, and government stakeholders. The Coordinator ensures that the transition from a human-operated to an AI-led clinical decision support service is safe, effective, and culturally/linguistically adapted. Requiring a strong clinical background, the role involves supervising field teams, monitoring live AI performance, intervening clinically when necessary, overseeing language performance (specifically in Amharic and Afaan Oromo), coordinating data collection and quality checks, and ensuring robust adherence to HEP protocols.
This is a 24 month fixed-term position, with the potential of renewal. We are currently seeking to fill two (2) positions. The role is based onsite in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and is open only to candidates currently residing in Ethiopia who are authorized to work in the country.
