As a MSF supply logistician you play an important role in ensuring the appropriate practical conditions for our medical humanitarian projects.
MSF supply chain logisticians are responsible for all parts of the supply chain: international to local purchasing; order management; import and transport of material and goods. This is a key position, as our activities must never be delayed or stalled due to lack of material.
We also recruit profiles with a specific focus on procurement and/or warehouse management.
Role description
As supply logistician, you are responsible for everything related to material procurement: order management, local/international purchasing, inventory and monitoring, import and international/national transport as well as streamlining the flow of material and information.

The responsibility includes ensuring that our internal rules and processes are followed and to create strategies to meet demands that can arise with short notice. You need to work closely with all departments in the project to ensure we are on top of the order forecasting. The role also includes coaching and training of locally hired supply staff.
Supply logisticians usually work in one of our projects in the country. With increasing experience, you may also work as a part of the management team in a major city.
