About the Role

FHI 360 implements a diverse portfolio of health and development programs in Thailand under the Programs Research and Group (PRG) portfolio. This portfolio includes the Meeting Targets and Maintaining Epidemic Control (EpiC) project, the Strengthening Infectious Disease Detection Systems (STRIDES) Activity, and other donor-funded initiatives. Collectively, these programs support Thailand’s efforts to strengthen health systems, advance global health security (GHS), improve public health outcomes, and build sustainable local capacity. In Thailand, FHI 360’s portfolio supports the Government of Thailand in preventing, detecting, and responding to emerging infectious disease threats; strengthening surveillance, laboratory, and health workforce capacities; and advancing national and regional health security priorities. FHI 360 also works closely with the U.S. Embassy, Thai health authorities, civil society organizations, and other key stakeholders to strengthen community-based organization (CBO) capacity and quality systems for HIV service delivery; advance sustainable domestic financing; support national readiness for long-acting injectable lenacapavir for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP); and contribute to sustained HIV epidemic control among populations at risk. These efforts also focus on scaling and sustaining HIV services and systems to support long-term epidemic control. The Technical Specialist, HIV Above Site Activities, will provide technical leadership and programmatic support to strengthen community-based HIV prevention services across Thailand under the EpiC Project. The position will focus on strengthening the capacity of community-based organizations (CBOs) and implementing partners, enhancing Reach-Recruit strategies, implementing Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) approaches, and addressing service delivery gaps to improve program performance and service quality. The Technical Specialist will work closely with community partners, health facilities, government agencies, and other stakeholders to improve HIV case finding, increase PrEP uptake, and promote the use of data for evidence-based decision-making. The position will also support regional technical collaboration, partner capacity strengthening, resource mobilization efforts, and sustainability planning to enhance the effectiveness and long-term impact of community-led HIV prevention services
