CONTEXT

Within Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), the Finance Department aims to ensure that the resources contribute successfully to the running of operational objectives. MSF financial autonomy is highly dependent on donors' trust and private income. Moreover, a significant portion of income is restricted by the donors' specific interests and social mission.

The MSF-Belgium Funding Unit (FU) is at the center for managing and optimizing funding of MSF operational projects, coordinating funding processes, while ensuring there is no overfunding. The unit is at the heart of several departments, working closely with operations, fundraising, communication, and finances team members, and collaborate with more than 15 MSF partnering sections.

As theFundraising Operational Information Specialist, you will be part of the Funding Unit and contribute to the enlargement of the funding from (mainly) private donors for the Operational Centre Brussels (OCB). You will work under the funding unit coordinator's supervision.
