Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an independent humanitarian organization that has provided medical carein over 70 countries since 1971, focusing on people affected by crises, conflicts, and limited access to healthcare.
MSF teams operate in challenging and often dangerous environments, delivering emergency and long-term care. Therefore, we are looking for skilled and motivated professionals to fulfill our social mission and be deployed in one of the 70 contexts we are operating.
Logistics & Supply Managers in MSF ensure the smooth running of the programs by managing infrastructure, vehicles, telecommunications systems and the supply of materials. They analyze in-country contexts to design, plan and set up a relevant supply chain.
