E-Pool Mobile Logistics Coordinator

CONTEXT 

Within the Operations Department of MSF Belgium (Operational Center Brussels - OCB), our Emergency Pool (E-Pool) has as primary function to intervene directly and quickly with medical activities in crisis situations such as conflicts, epidemics, outbreaks and natural disasters while guaranteeing the quality of interventions. It is also tasked with the monitoring and identification of crises that may arise.  

The E-Pool consists of one E-Pool Coordinator and a deputy, and two Emergency Coordinators based in Brussels. In addition to the Emergency coordinators, the E-Pool unit is composed of technical referent officers in Supply, Logistics, HR and Finance.  

The E-Pool also includes a Mobile Emergency Team deployed in emergency operations and is composed of different profiles of coordinators and technicians. Members of the E-Pool Mobile Team travel at short notice to any context where the E-Pool is leading interventions, operating in a roving capacity. They undertake successive several short-term assignments between 6 weeks to 3 months, though in exceptional cases, it may extend beyond 3 months.

- Lead the design, deployment, and review of MSF’s emergency logistics strategies 
- Ensure safe, effective, and timely support to medical operations in crises worldwide 
- Be field-based for most of your assignment, ready to deploy on very short notice to set up or manage the logistics needs of emergency projects

You will be managed by the E-Unit General Logistics Coordinator, with significant decision-making authority on logistics operations and who will define the assignment priorities.
