HR & Fin Project Manager

Context & Mission

Médecins Sans Frontières is an independent, international medical and humanitarian organization that provides care to people in need, people affected by natural or man-made disasters, and victims of armed conflict, without discrimination and without regard to race, religion, creed or political affiliation (MSF Charter).

Finance and Human resources field workers at MSF has long relied on legacy system based on Excel, supplemented with Visual Basic (VB) scripts and macros, to manage budgets, forecasts and allocation of staff. While this system has served its purpose over the years, it is increasingly becoming evident that it cannot keep pace with the evolving demands of modern finance and human resources operations and increased security in IT systems. The incumbent will lead a project that will transform how field operations are being managed in the finance and HR domains.

The Project Manager will lead the project from its initiation stage until its closure. S/he will regularly interact with an external provider for the identified technology solution as well as liaising with its extensive list of internal stakeholders from finance, human resources and information systems domains. The PM will work with great autonomy with very few internal resources fully dedicated to the project. The project manager will be able to communicate to various audiences using adapted languages, ranging from very technical in IT domain to simplified language for non-technical colleagues. The PM will be working alongside finance operations and human resources operations teams but will maintain a reporting line to the PMO to ensure consistency in execution and approaches.
