About Jacaranda Health

Jacaranda Health’s mission is to improve maternal and newborn health outcomes in the public health system. Through innovative AI-driven technology and human-centered solutions, we partner with governments to scale impactful, data-driven interventions.

As we expand across Kenya, Nigeria, and Ghana, we are looking for dynamic leaders with a passion for impact to help us transform the future of maternal health. 

About the Team

The Product Department at Jacaranda Health is responsible for designing, developing, and managing digital tools and solutions that strengthen maternal and newborn health outcomes.

About the Role

Jacaranda Health is piloting a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) Interactive Voice Response (IVR) service targeting low-literacy mothers in Kenya.
