Rewards Review and Access to Products for Healthcare Legal and fiscal advisor

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international, independent, medical humanitarian organisation that delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, healthcare exclusion and natural disasters. MSF offers assistance to people based only on need and irrespective of race, religion, gender or political affiliation.

MSF International is the legal entity that binds MSF’s 24 sections, 25 associations and other offices together. Registered in Switzerland, MSF International provides coordination, information and support to the MSF Movement, as well as implements international projects and initiatives as requested.

Position Background:

This position will support 2 on-going projects: the Rewards Review and the Access to Products for Healthcare. The time distribution will be at 70% for the Rewards Review and at 30% for the Access to Products for Healthcare.

The Rewards Review (RR):

MSF is currently developing and implementing new rewards policies and tools to address longstanding problems identified and explored through an extensive process known as the Rewards Review. These new policies and tools are grouped into three Rewards Review deliverables (Minimum Standards for Pay and Benefits; a model for new Staff Groups; and a Global Grading Framework), each of which is made up of several workstreams. The implementation of these new policies and tools will require changes in existing HR practices and support to structures and governance; it will be implemented over a number of years. Extensive stakeholder engagement and change management activities, essential for the successful implementation, are on-going.

The changes brought about through the Rewards Review will create a rewards system that provides more equity, transparency and consistency. This will better enable MSF to nurture an increasingly diverse workforce with the right balance of skills for today’s operational needs and tomorrow’s humanitarian challenges.

MSF’s leadership (the Full ExCom) have prioritised the Rewards Review as the most important transformational project currently underway. In October 2023, the Full ExCom validated an implementation roadmap that will enable the organization to bring about the agreed changes in the coming years. The roadmap covers different workstreams. Each workstream includes a design & feasibility phase followed by preparation and roll-out of the changes.

The legal and fiscal advisor will be pivotal in supporting the design and feasibility phase of key workstreams, with a specific (though not exclusive) focus on changes that will impact current Internationally Mobile Staff.

The Access to Product Healthcare (APH):

Access to Products for Healthcare (APH) is critical to MSF’s Social Mission. MSF has been engaged in a wide variety of ways to improve APH in the past decades. In 2023, the MSF International Board approved the set-up of a new organisational model for APH work in MSF.

The model implies the set-up of a new structure to lead the implementation of APH objectives responding to the movement’s agreed APH problems we are confronted to in the field. Given the focus of the new APH structure, the current AC workforce will be impacted and such impact need to be addressed and mitigated.
