Description
Context
Driven by MSF’s goals, the OCB Supply Chain’s mission is to enable humanitarian action and provide reliable supply chain solutions. It comprises several sites, in each mission on the field (projects and capital), with MSF Supply, its European Supply Center, and the Kenya Supply Unit, its regional hub. The Supply Chain Department defines the global strategy of this supply chain, pilots its performance, and ensures that each site has the relevant support for its development.
The Supply Chain Officer (SCO) position belongs to the Supply Department (line manager: Front Office Coordinator) and is a member of the operational cell (functional manager: Operations Coordinator). He/She designs the supply strategies and set-ups to answer the operational needs, taking into consideration the general supply policies and standards. He/She makes sure resources and means tally with them (technical support, budget, field HR skills…). He/She supervises and reports the performance of the supply chains. He/she is accountable over the current situation of her/his contexts and must proactively foresee the future challenges; in order to avoid supply becomes a bottleneck for operations. He/she understands the needs of operations and translates them into supply chain solutions.
Current Cell 5 contexts are India, Venezuela, Bolivia, South Africa, Malawi, Mozambique, Brazil and Zimbabwe. Each context has its own characteristics requiring a broad range of Supply Chain expertise.

He/She works closely with the other SCOs as a team, to foster best practices and benchmark. He promotes as well outsourced resources when adequate.
He/She is the functional manager for the Supply Co at the Coordination on the field. He/She collaborates with him/her to design and improve the supply chain of the context (set-ups, needs for support, processes, needs for trainings…) with the support of the Supply Department and its technical referents.
He/she keeps tight link with his/her peers within the other OCs and ESCs and promotes synergies to maximize capacity.
He/She has full visibility of his/her resources. He/She reports performance of the supply chains of his/her contexts, based on quantitative and qualitative metrics and analytics, with a focus on partnership’s satisfaction.

He/She undertands the political, social and economic context in each country, spends time working in the field with the supply team in order to test all process/tools/strategies implemented.
He/She is able to support the mission in developing adaptable supply routes also in context outside of MSF standard way of workings.
He/She takes interest in the gaps in the overall supply system, especially in the context of HIV/TB in Southern Africa and evaluates if MSF can/should provide a specific input in terms of advocacy, alternative solutions, private public partnerships or others, this beyond the MSF Supply Chain.
