Job Vacancy Palladium International - Strategic Partnerships & Resource Mobilization Consultancy - HP+ (Health Policy Plus) Project

Assignment Overview

The USAID-funded Health Policy Plus (HP+) project is supporting PT Sijariemas Teknologi Inovasi (STI) to strengthen its core business model as a health technology company focused on improving maternal and newborn health. HP+ will provide support in improving scale and sustainability of STI’s core product (SijariEMAS Rujukan) and strengthening one or two priority products that have the highest potential for expansion.

STI was established in 2017 after the end of the USAID-funded EMAS program and is continuing to sell products independently with the lead of their founders, Bambang Wijayanto and Carwoto Sa’an. The company has 17 full-time employees—and has operated with positive net profits for the last three years. STI’s product portfolio includes:

• SijariEMAS Rujukan: emergency referral platform for mothers and babies
• SijariEMAS PWS KIA: tracks and monitors high-risk pregnancies
• SijariEMAS PSC 119: call center for emergency referrals
• SijariEMAS Covid-19: tracks positive patients for Covid-19
• SMILE Puskesmas: health management system for local clinics (Puskesmas)
• InfoBidan: education and consultation app for midwives
• InfoBunda: education and consultation app for pregnant mothers
• E-Promoter: emergency situation reporting to police department
• IT Maintenance: general IT maintenance (server, storage, security, etc.)

The majority of its products are offered to local government at the district/city level as support to their health system and management of emergency referrals. Only one product (IT Maintenance) is offered to private companies. Because STI has a clear competitive advantage with several of its products in the public sector (with relatively little competition), in the short-term STI will focus its emphasis on expanding their business-to-government (B2G) business model. STI has also successfully partnered with companies and NGOs (e.g. AT&T and CARE) to supplement services in priority districts. Given the impact of COVID-19 on district budgets, STI seeks to partner with multinational and national companies that have a vested interest in maternal and child healthcare products.

HP+ is therefore seeking a consultant to support STI’s strategic partnerships/resource mobilization strategy for 2020. The Consultant will report to the STI senior management team and closely follow their guidance and vision for the company, and also deliver regular updates of ongoing activities to HP+.
