About the position
As Interim Policy and Strategy Advisor, you will help shape and organize SEHCF’s strategic agenda. You will also gather and analyze relevant information for decision making by MT and board.

Assist in producing the non-financial annual report for stakeholders.
Facilitate alignment between MT members on key strategic priorities.
Profile
Bachelor’s or master’s degree, preferably in a relevant field (e.g., health policy, public administration, organizational sciences).
7 to 10 years of experience in a strategic executive, or policy development role within the healthcare or public sector.
Strong analytical and communication skills.
Proactive, well-organized, and self-directed work style.
Experience with project coordination and strategic planning.

Willingness to work on-site in St. Eustatius or in a hybrid setting. If not residing on the island, the candidate should be willing to conduct regular work visits and be able to collaborate effectively remotely.
Practical information
Temporary assignment for a period to be determined.
Freelance assignment (ZZP/self-employed); not an employment contract.
8-16 hours and compensation to be agreed upon.
Start date: as soon as possible.
