Currently active in 18 healthcare facilities, Neotree has supported care for 60,000 newborns and trained over 3,000 health workers to date. Neotree is the only platform of its kind with a defined pathway to embed AI-enabled decision support into routine neonatal care in sub-Saharan Africa. Neotree: The Charity The UK charity was established by core members of the University College London (UCL) Neotree research project to maximise the impact of their research on the quality of newborn care and newborn mortality. After five years of rapid growth and proven clinical impact, Neotree is seeking a visionary Executive Director to lead our next chapter. Having evolved from an innovative research pilot into a multi-country digital health intervention, integrated into routine neonatal care in Malawi and Zimbabwe, Neotree is poised for national-scale rollout and scale up, alongside rigorous ongoing monitoring and evaluation.

Develop local leadership and support the growth of country-based teams, ensuring long-term sustainability through in-country capacity building. Financial & Grant Management: Provide robust oversight of the charity's finances, including budget setting and cash flow. Lead the management of complex institutional grants (e.g. FCDO, Gates Foundation), ensuring all milestones and reporting requirements are met. Manage relationships with multiple downstream partners. Governance & Accountability Statutory Compliance: Lead Neotree's reporting and compliance with the Charity Commission, HMRC, Companies House, donors and other relevant legislation.

Organisational & Innovation Governance: Responsible for the continuous review and implementation of all policies (HR, due diligence, safeguarding, clinical and data governance etc.). Ensure policies are legally compliant across international operations. Strategy & Impact Scaling Overall Strategy: Lead the development and execution of Neotree's business model and strategy to scale impact globally, ensuring the sustainable growth and wider adoption of Neotree as a digital public good.

Partnerships & External Relations: Serve as one of the primary ambassadors for Neotree, alongside our Principal Investigators and co-founder Professor Michelle Heys.

Key Priorities for the First 12-18 Months The new Executive Director will focus on the following key priorities during their initial 12-18 months: Successful Project Delivery & Ministry of Health Partnerships. Ensure successful delivery of the projects currently in flight, in both Malawi and Zimbabwe. This includes partnerships with the Ministries of Health in both countries to build and hand over neonatal modules in their EHR systems based on Neotree, and support their successful rollout. Strategic Plan Development. Develop a 3-5 year plan with the Board, academic partners, and wider project team to build on our existing foundation to expand Neotree - including addressing research gaps, using AI to improve clinical decision support, and finding ways to expand the adoption of the technology in Zimbabwe, Malawi, and beyond. Sustainability is a core part of that strategy. Strategic Plan Execution. Execute on that plan, including securing funding, building partnerships, and further developing the Neotree team.

You are comfortable with ambiguity and can steer the organisation through the "unknowns" of the next five+ years. Communication & Collaborative Mindset: You are a bridge-builder.
