Welcome to PSI!

PSI is a network of locally rooted, globally connected organizations working to achieve consumer-powered healthcare — people-centered health systems that ensure quality, affordable care wherever and whenever it is needed.

Today, we work with the public and private sectors as well as local communities, prioritizing people’s voice and choice and developing solutions to meet their essential health needs. Over the past five decades, we have helped push boundaries, break taboos, set trends, and develop innovative solutions to complex global health challenges.

Funded by the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation, the Delivering Innovation in Self-Care project (DISC), supports PSI’s vision to reimagine healthcare by increasing awareness, availability, and access to contraceptive self-care methods like self-injection that give women greater power and control over their sexual and reproductive health. In partnership with Ministries of Health, healthcare provider networks, and other key stakeholders, DISC is integrating self-care methods into health systems, bringing care closer to consumers, and amplifying their voice, choice, and agency. The DISC project has entered an exciting new phase which will involve scaling the DISC high impact practices through partnerships in existing countries as well as expanding into new countries.

The DISC Projects Dashboards Team seeks a Intern that will learn about what it’s like to work for PSI, build relationships, and gain valuable real-world experience by performing a variety of analytic and visualization tasks that support the development of high-quality dashboards. Contribute to or lead special projects, support daily operations, receive coaching and mentorship, attend internal learning sessions hosted by other departments, and engage with colleagues at all levels across the organization.

What You’ll Do

• Deliver on a learning project: Lead a special project to deliver a dashboard for DISC project demand generation activities before the completion of the internship. Conduct research and analysis, assist with project management, propose ideas and solutions, and present the final deliverable to members of the team or a broader audience.

• Learn about the inner workings: Provide routine administrative support for daily operations, which may include maintaining the internal DISC Dashboard SharePoint page by posting new content and reorganizing existing content for knowledge management and information tracking, providing basic financial management support, learning and performing tasks in PSI systems, and/or assisting with coordinating meetings, note-taking, or responding to ad hoc requests for information.

• Build your network: Develop relationships with PSIers on the DISC and Digital Health Management teams and across the organization. Schedule one-on-one meetings with colleagues to learn more about what they do and gain valuable career advice, regularly attend learning sessions hosted by other departments, attend PSI’s org-wide events and meetings, and regularly shadow colleagues at meetings.

• Embody PSI’s values: Measurement, Pragmatism, Honesty, Trust, Collaboration, and Commitment.
