Against Malaria Foundation (AMF)
Junior Operations Manager
Full time
Job Description
AMF profile
Against Malaria Foundation (AMF) was founded in 2004 and is a charity that fights malaria in a highly effective, accountable and transparent way.
We do this by purchasing and distributing multiple millions of long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs) at a time in nationwide universal coverage campaigns. This is the most cost-effective way of preventing malaria. AMF receives donations from the public and in the last financial year received US$147 million and, in our history, now over US$780 million. AMF is particularly data-focused and monitors and reports on net use and drives and supports innovation to improve the effectiveness of malaria programmes.
AMF is the world’s third largest funder of nets.
AMF has been rated a top charity for all of the last 16 years by independent charity evaluators GiveWell, Giving What We Can and The Life You Can Save who focus on impact and cost-effectiveness.
We are a team of 15 highly motivated individuals with different skills and experience. Each person has an important role to play. All team members work remotely with constant communication between them. While the team is small, the impact is big - our net distributions protect millions of people. Our largest programme is in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where we are funding 52 million nets to protect 94 million people for distribution during 2025 to 2027. We have ongoing multi-million net programmes in other countries including Chad, Guinea, Nigeria, South Sudan, Togo, Uganda and Zambia.
Role Description
Our activities and commitments are steadily increasing, with 2026 a particularly busy year with over 60 million nets planned for distribution to protect more than 110 million people, and the next few years will be similarly busy. In light of this, AMF is recruiting a Junior Operations Manager to join the operations team and to play an important role in ensuring the success of the net distributions. We are looking for someone with strong quantitative and analytical skills who enjoys working with data. The ideal candidate will be a fast learner with scientific or numbers-oriented mindset, comfortable performing quick, high-quality analyses and communicating findings clearly.
The role will include involvement in all stages of a distribution campaign (pre-agreement, net procurement, post-agreement, during distribution, and post distribution) with a focus on two areas:
- Data analysis - reviewing and analysing distribution, monitoring and malaria data to support decisionmaking
- Operational work to support programmes, in particular across independent monitoring, net accounting and keeping internal systems up to date
Further information
Across the life of each distribution, AMF collects large amounts of data: household registration and distribution data, net transportation information, data from independent monitoring partners both during distributions and after distributions through post-distribution monitoring surveys conducted at 0, 9, 18, and 27 months. We also receive and analyse external data including population estimates and malaria burden data. These data are central to how AMF operates - it informs operational decisions, ensures we can track every net accountably from manufacturing site to household, and it also enables us to report to donors with confidence on where their nets went.
We are looking for a junior operations manager to support in two main areas:
1. Data analysis
This includes:
- Analysing distribution and independent monitoring data to:
- Ensure data is sufficiently high quality
- Work with monitoring partners to take quick action if operational adjustments are needed

- Maintaining an overview of results across countries to inform benchmarks and interpret new data
- Contributing to how we present and communicate our data, both internally and publicly. This includes summarising findings clearly and appropriately for different audiences.
2. Operational work to support programmes
This includes supporting the operations team through the stages of AMF’s programmes:
Independent monitoring
Tendering and contracting
- Sending documentation to bidding partners and receiving proposals
- Supporting budget comparisons and proposal review
- Drafting agreement documents and processing payments
Project management
- Supporting operations team and partners during data collection, drawing on the data analysis above to troubleshoot issues as they arise
Closeout
- Ensuring all reporting has been delivered (narrative and financial)
- Reviewing reporting, analysing final results and putting them in context of AMF's wider programme
- Analysing project spend against budget, proposing closeout payments and processing them
Net accounting
- Reviewing evidence of net deliveries and arrivals from in-country partners
- Checking nets were sent to locations in the quantities agreed
- Working with ops team members to flag discrepancies and support communications with partners
- After distribution, verifying and documenting nets distributed, leftover, lost or damaged Internal systems
- Keeping AMF's internal systems up to date
- Inputting and processing payments
- Ensuring distribution and project dates are up to date
- Updating the latest status for the nets for each distribution (in production, en-route to country, etc.)
There will be other significant work related to AMF Group Operations, dependent on the candidate’s skill set, such as assisting with documentation for tax deductibility, new AMF entities, and updating our website with blogposts.
