🏢 About Resolve to Save Lives

Resolve to Save Lives is a unique global public health organization focused on preventing 100 million deaths from cardiovascular disease and making the world safer from epidemics. Unlike many NGOs, it takes a data-driven, implementation-focused approach to solving specific, large-scale health challenges, offering the chance to work on high-impact initiatives with measurable outcomes. Working here means contributing directly to life-saving programs in a collaborative, mission-driven environment that values humility and integrity.

About This Role

As the Lead for Digital Health Partnerships and Implementation in India, you will spearhead initiatives that leverage technology to improve cardiovascular disease prevention and epidemic response, directly aligning with the organization's core mission. This role involves building and managing partnerships with local health tech companies, government agencies, and community organizations to implement scalable digital health solutions. Your work will bridge global health strategies with on-the-ground realities in India, making healthcare more accessible and effective for diverse populations.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with a virtual check-in with a district health team in Tamil Nadu to troubleshoot a mobile screening app rollout, followed by drafting a partnership proposal for a local health tech startup focused on AI-driven hypertension diagnostics. In the afternoon, you could co-facilitate a workshop with community health workers in Uttar Pradesh to gather feedback on a new digital training module, then end the day analyzing data from a pilot program to report on key metrics like user engagement rates or blood pressure control improvements.
