Location: Any MSF Office located between UTC-5 (EST) and UTC+2 (EEST/SAST)

At the core of Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) Canada’s identity is a commitment to medical ethics, independence, neutrality, and impartiality. We go where people’s medical needs are greatest. These ideals have driven every aspect of our work – from medical care and logistical coordination, to finance and communications – since MSF was established in 1971.

The Transformational Investment Capacity Secretariat (TIC) is an exciting international 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.

The TIC Secretariat and Transformation Senior Manager is core to driving transformational impact on MSF’s ability to deliver medical care and humanitarian service (social mission) in championing the development, evaluation, support, and scaling of transformational projects across MSF. The Senior Manager brings transformation, project, and change management expertise to support TIC proposal and project teams, as well as fostering a culture of innovation and transformation across MSF.
