Geneve, Schweiz Medecins Sans Frontieres Vollzeit

As an MSF finance coordinator it will be your job to develop and implement finance policies, providing expert financial support to the project so that every department has what it needs to do the best job possible, no matter what happens.

From ensuring that finances are available for a quick scale-up of operations after an emergency, to managing the day-to-day finances needed to run a field hospital, you will provide support to the entire project, approving the budgets for medical supplies and logistic materials. You will also liaise with the capital office to ensure that the project is run in accordance with local laws and customs.

As a finance coordinator you have visibility of all operations in the project; it’s a complex but very rewarding job. Cécile Barrier, MSF finance coordinator
