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.
With operations across Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East, PATH combines scientific rigor with deep local partnership to drive sustainable change. We are guided by our core values: Respect, Equity, Integrity, Innovation, Collaboration, and Impact.
PATH is embarking on a new strategic direction that fundamentally prioritizes impact over revenue. This shift reflects our commitment to focusing resources and efforts where they can generate the greatest health outcomes for the communities we serve. We are redesigning our portfolio, partnerships, and operations to ensure that every decision, rom program design to resource allocation, is driven by measurable health impact rather than financial growth targets. This strategic evolution requires leaders who can balance ambitious health goals with financial sustainability, making disciplined choices that advance our mission while ensuring organizational viability.
The Opportunity
PATH seeks a visionary, results-driven executive to lead our Asia, Middle East & Europe (AMEE) region as Chief of AMEE. This is a pivotal role for a leader who can unite strategic vision with operational excellence to advance health equity across one of our most dynamic and complex regions.
As a member of PATH's Executive Leadership Team, the Chief of AMEE will shape regional strategy, drive sustainable impact through disciplined execution, build high-performing teams, and cultivate partnerships that amplify our collective influence. This leader will be instrumental in implementing PATH’s impact-first strategic direction, making critical decisions about portfolio composition, partnership selection, and resource allocation that optimize for health outcomes. They will serve as both a regional champion and a global enterprise leader—integrating regional execution with PATH's institutional priorities to deliver measurable health outcomes for millions.

Engage strategically with national governments, multilateral organizations, institutional donors, private sector partners, and local networks. Build trust and cultivate long-term partnerships that maximize regional influence and resource mobilization.
Enterprise Leadership
