Dexis is a dynamic professional services firm dedicated to partnering with government and community leaders both in the U.S. and internationally to achieve critical social outcomes in a rapidly changing world.
At Dexis, you will experience a corporate culture of inclusiveness, respect, fairness, and trust. You will be given the means and mentorship needed to succeed, and your creativity will be rewarded.
Global Solutions Ventures (GSV) – a joint-venture partnership between ZemiTek, LLC and Dexis Consulting Group – is implementing the Long-term Exceptional Technical Assistance Project (LEAP Global), a mechanism originally used by USAID to battle against infectious diseases such as malaria, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, neglected tropical diseases, and pandemic influenza. As of July 1, 2025, LEAP Global transitioned to the U.S. Department of State (DOS). This initiative aims to address the complex human resource challenges faced by national infectious disease programs in the USA-supported countries.
The intervention of this project is to hire and embed technical expert advisors and subject matter experts within government entities. By directly embedding the technical expertise within the national programs, LEAP provides long-term, sustainable lifesaving support to empower host governments to lead and manage key aspects of their infectious disease portfolios and improve coordination between the U.S. Government and the host country.
The Strategic Health Technical Advisor will serve as the principal liaison between the U.S. Embassy Suva/Department of State (DOS) Foreign Assistance Unit (FAU) and the Fiji Ministry of Health and Medical Services (MHMS) and Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) in implementing Global Health Security (GHS) activities. Embedded within the appropriate ministry or ministries, the advisor will work with implementing partners to advance effective multisectoral collaboration in support of bilateral cooperation efforts focused on global health security. The position will facilitate effective coordination of technical support with special emphasis on preventing, detecting, and responding to infectious disease threats that impact public health.
The Advisor will identify coordination gaps and programmatic bottlenecks, propose and implement solutions through effective collaboration among U.S. Embassy Suva/DOS FAU, MHMS, and MoA. This role is critical to effectively deliver U.S. Government support to improve Fiji's national health security capabilities. The Advisor will support the MHMS in carrying out life-saving humanitarian assistance (LHA) service delivery in full alignment with the new Presidential Executive Order (EO) directives.
Supervision and Reporting:
The Advisor will receive day-to-day supervision and guidance from designated points of contact at both host ministries. The U.S. Embassy Suva/DOS FAU will provide collaborative oversight. The advisor will submit weekly progress reports and detailed monthly reports to the U.S. Embassy Suva FAU/DOS Bureau of Global Health Security and Diplomacy (GHSD) and respective ministries.
