COMPENSATION & BENEFITS Mobile Implementation Officer

CONTEXT 

The MSF movement is organised around five operational directorates supported by MSF’s 21 sections, 24 associations and other offices around the world. The MSF Operations Centre in Brussels is one of these directorates. Operations are carried out by project teams. They are guided and supported by country coordination teams and operational cells, regional support teams, the emergency unit and other operational support units.

PURPOSE

The primary purpose of this role is to support the implementation of the new Rewards Review (RR) policies and deliverables, as well as to map the current implementation of C&B policies across the various OCB projects. The scope includes all employee statuses, both national (HQ, delocalized staff and local hired staff) and international. It plays a key role in establishing and maintaining a fair and equitable system that balances cost effectiveness, talent attraction and retention, and MSF's associative culture.

The Compensation & Benefits Mobile Implementation Officer (C&B MIO) works on several programs under the supervision of the C&B Referent but with a close link to the HR Operations Coordinator, mainly in the projects (70%). These project visits depend on the needs identified by the HR OPs and on the Rewards Review benefits roll-out schedule, and can vary from one week to several months.

As the C&B MIO, you will report to the Country Coordinator for logistical, security and administrative matters and will report to both the HR Operations and C&B Advisor, who together will define the work priorities, the level/type of support to be provided and the duration of the assignment.
