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).
The MSF movement is built around 5 operational centers supported by 24 sections and offices worldwide. MSF Operational Center Geneva (MSF OCG) is one of these centres.
OCG has established a matrix organisation to support its field operations. Operational cells act as the direct interface with the field, providing supervision and operational support, while specialised departments contribute technical expertise. Each cell is a multidisciplinary team coordinated by a Programme Manager (PM/RP – Responsable de Programmes) and composed of a Deputy Programme Manager (DPM/ARP), a medical profile (RMP), and representatives from logistics, finance, human resources, communications and supply. This position is part of Cell 1, which supports field operations in Sudan, South Sudan and Ethiopia.
Within this structure, the RMP reports hierarchically to the Programme Manager and works in close collaboration with the Medical Department, under the technical supervision of the Deputy Medical Director (DMD). The RMP acts as a key link between Operations and the Medical Department, ensuring coherent and relevant medical support to field operations, while providing strategic and technical guidance to Medical Coordinators.
Scope of Responsibilities
Define strategic medico-operational priorities to respond to specific medico-humanitarian situations, whether in emergencies or protracted crises.
Support the implementation of current projects across different countries by acting as a technical referent for Medical Coordinators in the field and advising the A/RP in the cell.
Bring in technical expertise from the Medical Department to enable integrated work between the Operations and Medical Departments. This is achieved by creating collaborative platforms focusing on specific medico-operational challenges, the selection of standards and the improvement of practices.
Plan medical resources and ensure their coherence with medico-operational objectives. This requires a collaborative approach with other departments (HR, Finance, Logistics, Supply). While this work takes place regularly during programme implementation, it represents a greater share of the workload during annual planning and mid-year reviews, when resources are planned and reviewed.
