About Us
Every year, millions die from preventable diseases because vital services do not reach them. A root cause is broken data: missing or unreliable IDs, fragmented records, and inflated reporting. Without accurate data on who receives services, governments and NGOs cannot deliver care effectively, track impact, or target life-saving resources.
Simprints is a nonprofit tech company that partners with ministries and funders to verify identities, digitise workflows, and enable evidence-based decisions so the right services reach the right people at the right time. We co-design end-to-end digital solutions with the people who use them, from the frontlines to national dashboards. Our biometric products integrate with health records to drive accuracy, accountability, and insights. We build for scale with privacy-first, open-source, and cost-effective technology that strengthens national digital public infrastructure. Studies have shown that Simprints increases impact through real-time, precision data, for example, increasing maternal health visits by 38% in Bangladesh or accurate HIV tracing by 62% in Malawi. To date, we’ve worked in over 17 countries, helping deliver health, aid, and finance to over 4 million people.
Our mission is simple: make sure every vaccine, every dollar, and every public good reaches the people who need them most.
About the Role
The Partnerships Operations Manager will help build the operating engine behind Simprints’ growth. This role will support the Partnerships team to identify, qualify, and progress high-value opportunities more effectively, while improving the systems, data, and automation that underpin our revenue generation.
You will sit at the intersection of sales operations, market intelligence, AI-enabled automation, and proposal development. One day you might be improving our CRM and pipeline reporting; the next, building an AI-assisted workflow to scan donor opportunities; the next, coordinating inputs for a grant application or preparing a funder brief.
This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys creating structure, improving processes, and helping senior relationship-holders move faster and more strategically. You will make the
Partnerships team sharper, more disciplined, and better equipped to grow a healthy and diversified pipeline.

How we work
We confront the grey. We practise transparency and radical candour, listen deeply, share information openly, and speak up when our ethical compass is challenged, so that psychological safety is real and everyone can do their best work.
We leave our egos at the door. We bring curiosity, kindness, and a positive attitude, seek first to understand, and remember to laugh together. We stay humble about our small part in big global problems, and we remain bold about our ambition to drive change.
We find a way. We plan with clear strategies, deliverables, deadlines, and metrics, step out of our comfort zones, and make it happen. When a plan is not working, we learn from the data, adapt quickly, and keep moving in service of the mission.
We remember why we are here. Impact for people comes first. We act like owners, hold ourselves to high standards, and work across teams to close data gaps and increase coverage, so the right services reach the right people at the right time.
We celebrate the differences. We treat every person with compassion, empathy, and respect, build inclusive spaces where diverse perspectives are welcomed, involve people in important decisions, and share credit generously, because our best ideas can come from anywhere.
