# Finance and Administration Manager - Ethiopia > Simprints · Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (Remote) · Full-time · Posted 2026-06-30 **Workplace:** remote **Department:** Finance ## Description ### **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.

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.  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.
