About the job Entrepreneur-in-Residence (EIR)

About Ilara
Our mission is to build a network of primary healthcare clinics (PHCs) delivering affordable, quality healthcare to Africa’s low-middle income demographics: that is 1.1 billion people across a continent of 54 countries.

We do this by gathering the brightest minds, innovative digital health tools and clever financing mechanisms. We are pretty proud to be working on this and we hope you will be too. So, if you are passionate about doing your best work, working on healthcare projects that matter and having fun along the way, we would love to meet you.

We’re looking for team members who:

• Have opinions about how primary healthcare works (or doesn’t work) for patients across Africa.
• Love building solutions with impact.
• Get excited about how technology is transforming healthcare.
• Are either from or have spent considerable time in emerging markets.
• Have been part of founding teams at start-ups or been part of small-build teams in larger corporations.
• Are people we are excited to see daily, who we can disagree with while still having fun, who come up with ideas we would have never considered.
• Don’t hold back when it comes to having opinions about what we should work on.
• Are open to frequent travel.
