PATH current employees - please log in and apply Here

 

PATH is a global nonprofit dedicated to achieving health equity. With more than 40 years of experience forging multisector partnerships and with expertise in science, economics, technology, advocacy, and dozens of other specialties, PATH develops and scales up innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing heath challenges. 

PATH’s market access and market shaping team works to unlock barriers to essential health products—shaping supply, demand, pricing, procurement, and financing so that life-saving technologies reach the people who need them. PATH is seeking a Data Analytics Associate (also titled Market Analytics Associate) to provide research, data analysis, and modeling support to these efforts. The Associate will initially support the SAFEStart+ project and the team’s business development (BD) efforts, with responsibilities expected to expand over time to PATH’s broader market access and market shaping portfolio across infectious diseases, maternal health, and non-communicable diseases.

SAFEStart+ is a UNITAID-funded, four-year initiative focused on eliminating vertical transmission (EVT) of HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B, and Chagas disease. The project strengthens integrated service delivery models, generates evidence, and facilitates scale-up across multiple countries: scaling integrated EVT programs in four core-engagement countries (Malawi, Nigeria, Paraguay, and Uganda); addressing barriers to EVT scale-up and validation in five focused-activity countries (Brazil, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Senegal, South Africa, and Vietnam); and disseminating innovations and lessons learned to ten peer-learning countries. SAFEStart+ pursues four core outputs—country-led EVT demand and scale-up; evidence generation through implementation science and cost modeling; strategic market shaping to unlock barriers to essential EVT products; and effective transition and financing of integrated EVT programs—and employs a co-leadership model with strong community engagement, working closely with consortium partners including the International Community of Women Living with HIV Eastern Africa (ICWEA) and the World Hepatitis Alliance (WHA). The Associate will contribute primarily to the strategic market shaping output.

This role requires strong data analytics skills paired with the ability to translate complex information into clear, actionable insights—distilling analyses into the implications and recommendations that matter most for decision-making. The Associate will work with guidance from the Senior Market Access Officer and Market Access Lead, particularly during onboarding, and is expected to ramp quickly—progressively taking ownership of analyses and working with growing independence. We are looking for a proactive self-starter who can manage up, learn fast in a fast-paced environment with competing priorities, comfortably navigate ambiguity, and turn around quality work on or ahead of deadline.

This is a full-time position contracted through third-party payroll (Randstad) for an initial duration of 12 months, with the possibility of extension, and based in PATH’s New Delhi, India office. The Associate will report to the Market Access Lead and work closely with the Senior Market Access Officer.

Responsibilities:

• Conduct desk-based research on market access problems and questions, gathering and synthesizing primary and secondary information.
• Support the design and implementation of primary and secondary market research.
• Collect, organize, clean, and analyze data—including primary data sets—and draw observations and inferences to inform market shaping activities.
• Build Excel-based data models—including market sizing, demand forecasts, and health economics models—and dashboards for new and existing technologies.
• Execute costing, pricing, and impact analyses to evaluate new and innovative models of financing, procurement, and distribution.
• Conduct return-on-investment (ROI) analyses and other similar analytics as needed to meet evolving market and project needs.
• Synthesize analyses into clear, decision-ready findings and recommendations, drawing out the implications that matter most for internal and external audiences.
• Create impactful presentations and data visualizations to convey analyses and learnings.
• Prepare presentations, reports, and other analyses to inform policy and evidence for high-impact interventions, and present findings to internal and—with support—external audiences.
• Gather and track information on global and regional manufacturers, distributors, and other partners.
• With guidance from the Market Access Lead and Senior Market Access Officer, landscape and vet potential manufacturers for engagement.
• Support business development efforts by contributing to desk research, proposal inputs, and donor engagement.
• Track progress on key market shaping activities and maintain related trackers and project files.
• Support the Market Access Lead and Senior Market Access Officer with day-to-day tasks, and perform other duties as assigned in alignment with team priorities.

Required Experience

• Post-graduate degree (preferably in business administration, data analytics, economics, public health, or a related field), or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• 1–3 years of relevant work experience; preference for experience in an international, multicultural, or global health environment.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and quantitative modeling skills, with the ability to distill complex data into clear, actionable insights.
• Strong command of the Microsoft Office suite, particularly Excel and PowerPoint; comfort building data models, dashboards, ROIs, and data visualizations; and willingness to learn new software and information systems.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Demonstrated ability to handle multiple tasks simultaneously, set priorities, and work independently to deliver quality work on or ahead of deadline.
• Demonstrated ability to manage up, take direction from multiple leads, and navigate ambiguous or loosely defined tasks to deliver results.
• Ability to drive assigned workstreams forward through thoughtful work planning, priority setting, and stakeholder engagement.
• Knowledge of and/or keen interest in market access, market shaping, and global health, with a drive to create impact at a global scale.
• Ability to work collaboratively with diverse teams and interface effectively with internal and external stakeholders.
