Do you believe that everyone deserves access to affordable, quality healthcare? Are you driven by creativity, bold ideas, and disruptive innovation? Are you inspired by exceptionally talented, diverse, impact-oriented colleagues? Do you thrive in a dynamic, high-growth, fast-paced environment? Then consider a job with ThinkWell.
ThinkWell is a growing, flexible health systems organization, with both global influence and local grounding. Our focus is on driving transformation in the global health space by always questioning and disrupting conventional wisdom about what works or what can or cannot be done. We believe in pragmatism over ideology and develop solutions tailored to a client’s context and political realities without replicating global models and all-purpose solutions. We know that to drive change, we must focus on how the world could be, rather than making excuses for the status quo.
ThinkWell will develop a sustainability assessment and transition plan for The Global Fund’s HIV, TB, and Malaria (HTM) portfolio in Indonesia, considering the context of Indonesia’s decentralized health system and Health Law No. 17/2023. This law mandates that health budgeting directly links to performance outcomes rather than proportional funding, fundamentally changing resource allocation with a stronger emphasis on efficiency, accountability, and concrete health outcomes. Through a review of relevant documents, key informant interviews, and secondary data analysis and modeling, we will create a status quo baseline of current investments and transition opportunities, addressing how Indonesia can take full financial and operational responsibility for its HTM programs within its increasingly decentralized health system. The plan will consider various funding scenarios, the country needs, and context and TGF Replenishment cycles through 2030. In this context, Thinkwell will hire a data analyst to support our Health Financing Specialist for this project. The analyst will play a crucial role in supporting the development of sustainability and transition scenarios for Indonesia's HIV, TB, and Malaria programs. This work involves analyzing complex health financing data across Indonesia's decentralized health system, tracking program expenditures and outcomes, and supporting the modeling of various funding scenarios through 2030. This is a full-time position based in Jakarta, Indonesia, for the period of January to 31 May 2025.

3. Conducting statistical analysis with provided dataset to produce high-quality, evidence-based findings and recommendations. Support the analysis of financing flows and fund tracking across different government levels (central, provincial, district) for HTM programs.
4. Assist in developing and analyzing funding scenarios for a potential transition of the HTM program from donor to government funds. Support the analysis of JKN claims data related to HTM services and the potential for their integration into the national health insurance scheme. Analyze absorption capacity for HTM programs across different administrative levels.
5. Actively participate in team meetings and contribute pertinent information, ideas, and suggestions related to project commitments.
6. Collaborating with other TGF and ThinkWell key stakeholders for good delivery dissemination data analysis.
7. Working closely with other ThinkWell, TGF staff, or other key stakeholders.
