Director of Transformational Investment Capacity

The Transformational Investment Capacity (TIC) is an exciting initiative launched in 2016 that enables MSF to invest in itself to transform its ability to address the medical and humanitarian needs of vulnerable populations around the world.  

The TIC funds large scale projects and smaller incubator ideas that can scale across MSF to significantly improve the way we do our work. TIC projects and ideas can help MSF better fulfill the present and evolving medical humanitarian needs of people living in crisis by investing money, intellectual capital and human resources to implement transformational, game-changing and radical initiatives.
