About the role

Apeiro Kenya is expanding its team and is looking for talented professionals to join its growing work in the digital health space.

The Project Coordinator supports the delivery of assigned workstreams within the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) programme in Kenya. The role is responsible for day-to-day coordination, tracking, and execution support across multiple initiatives (e.g., eClaims, Data Analytics, HCDI, HMIS, LMIS, T&T Service Delivery).

Working under the guidance of the Project Managers, the Project Coordinator ensures that timelines, deliverables, and dependencies are actively managed while maintaining strong communication across cross-functional teams.

This role serves as the primary link between the implementing organization, health facilities, government counterparts, and technical teams to ensure smooth project execution.
