About The Position

MSF's organizational structure is undergoing a review to adapt to current needs. The current model, inherited from European operational centers, has led to complexity, duplication, and resource waste. To address this, MSF entities in Latin America launched the TIC Mutualization Latin America project in September 2024. This initiative aims to align regional investments with strategic priorities, optimize shared resources, and enhance collective capacities across five key areas: Human Resources, Supply, Medical, Advocacy & Analysis, and Associative Leadership. The project is structured around 5 thematic Working Groups (WGs) coordinated by this role, with the Americas Supply Unit (ASU) playing a key role in the Supply pillar. The WGs have defined organizational models and proposed roles, forming the basis for consolidation. This project is central to the broader ambition of creating an Operational Directorate (OD) in the Americas, formally declared in 2022 and reconfirmed in strategic alignment workshops. The Regional Mutualization Coordinator will play a critical role in the final phase of the TIC project (ending August 2026), supporting the transition to a sustainable, institutionalized Mutualization process as the foundation for the future OD. This role operates within a broader organizational momentum, with other ODs being created in MSF offering opportunities for exchange and learning.

Maintain and nurture existing stakeholder relationships across the 4 pillars (Human Resources, Advocacy & Analysis, Associative, and Medical), ensuring continuity of trust and engagement built throughout the TIC process (for the Supply pillar, stakeholder management will be transferred to the Americas Supply Unit Project Manager, with continued articulation to ensure coherence of the mutualization organizational model).
