JOIN US ON THE FRONTLINE
Who we are
We’ve been on the frontline of the world’s response to HIV and AIDS for over 25 years, working with marginalised people who are denied HIV prevention and treatment simply because of who they are and where they live.
Set up in 1993 to work with community groups in the countries most affected by the global AIDS epidemic, we’ve continually adapted our approach, looking for innovative ways to break down the barriers that marginalise people living with, or at risk of acquiring, HIV. All with one goal in mind – a future free from AIDS for everyone, everywhere.
Everything we do is rooted in our two key beliefs:

- That the lives of all human beings are of equal value.
- That everyone has the right to access the HIV information and services they need for a healthy life.
Today, we work with communities in more than 40 countries, taking local, national and global action on HIV, health and human rights.
As a global partnership that is open to everyone, we can only do what we do – and achieve what we want to achieve – by working with partners from grassroots community groups to national governments. Our partners drive change where it matters, shaking up the status quo and making a noise on issues the world often chooses to ignore.
Are you the Candidate we’re looking for?
We are looking for a proven leader who can deliver our programmes of ground-breaking work with adolescents and young people across Africa to the highest standards. You have experience of leading multi-disciplinary projects and consortiums, preferably within southern Africa, as well as donor compliance and relationship management.
You are an inspirational leader who inspires genuine enthusiasm and passion in others, by bringing Frontline AIDS’ strategy to life. You act as a role model, creating an environment of openness and trust, and celebrate the successes of others. You are committed to fostering a high performance culture, and will delegate thoughtfully to give colleagues real accountability and authority. You are comfortable managing in a matrix management environment and your actions will be aligned with Frontline AIDS vision and you will inspire the same behaviour in those around you.
If this sounds like you, we can offer you the chance to lead a vital cross-organisational initiative at an unprecedented time in the global HIV response, and to work in close partnership with inspiring community and civil society partners to safeguard the progress that we have made towards ending AIDS and to set the agenda for what comes next.
