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 TIC Project Manager will support the project management elements of validating, evaluating, executing, and scaling projects and incubator ideas across MSF. A particular emphasis is on Access-related projects, but the Project Manager will also provide support to projects across the TIC portfolio to enable synergies and cross-learning to be flagged and capitalised.
MSF Canada is looking for a candidate who will be responsible for the following:
- Provide project management support and expertise to entities submitting proposals for funding – assisting applicant teams in developing and strengthening concept notes and business cases (especially for project management elements) and providing quality assurance for proposals received.
- Serve as a prime/focal point for select projects, overseeing a portfolio of approved projects, providing support for project reviews, issue and risk management, audit reviews, etc.
- Act as a Project Management Technical Referent, providing advanced project management methodology and best practices support to Project Managers of approved TIC/Access projects, supporting them to ensure that projects are delivered on time and on budget.
- Build and maintain internal and external international networks that can be used to connect project teams and applicants with diverse resources (potentially those working on a similar project for another MSF entities, or a known expert in a particular domain) to support MSF transformation with coherence on a wide scale.
- Evaluate, analyse, and report on project progress, successes and lessons learned, contribute to developing presentations, documentation and other communication vehicles for Selection Committees, the International Executive Committee (ExCom) and across the MSF movement.
- Work closely with the TIC Selection Committee to ensure that Committee members have the appropriate level of high-quality information to take decisions and accompany projects.
The successful candidate will bring to MSF Canada:
Job specific competencies, including:
- the ability to understand, review, analyze, challenge, and validate access-related small to large scale project proposals, business cases, project governance plans, timelines, and budgets.
- the ability to conduct project risk analysis and review project issues and risk logs for multi-faceted, complex, and high stakes projects.
- the ability to support and coach project teams, providing expertise and critical challenges, whilst maintaining objectivity in a non-decisional role.
- thought leadership – strategic mind set with “out of the box thinking” and experience and understanding of access-related issues and stakeholders.
Knowledge and experience, including:
- Extensive experience of MSF Access work, or equivalent work with other organisations, including experience in managing access to medicines, medical devices, or diagnostics at the strategic level in low-resource settings.
- Familiarity with essential medicine policies, frameworks and global health initiatives (e.g., WHO, Global Fund, GAVI).
- Extensive knowledge of, and experience in, project management methodologies.
