Options is a team of experts and innovators tackling some of the world’s most pressing health challenges. We are seeking a consultant to help us develop a new range of consultancy services, building on our current expertise, tools and systems, but deploying them in new ways, for a new range of clients, requiring adaptations to our current business model.

The consultant will develop a New Service Development Plan, including a business case outlining the investment required to launch and establish the new service. To achieve this, the consultant is expected to familiarise themselves with Options’ current business model as well as existing planning and research behind the new service.

• Experience developing strategy/business plans for global/multi-country businesses including those working in low- and middle-income countries
