MSF recruits 01 Regional HR Responsible Central Africa (m/f/x)

MSF recruits 01 Regional HR Responsible Central Africa (m/f/x) – Kinshasa, DRC

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international humanitarian aid organization that provides assistance in more than 60 countries to populations in distress, to victims of natural or manmade disasters and to victims of armed conflicts, without discrimination and irrespective of origin, religion, creed or political affiliation.

Mid-2019 MSF OCB launched a reform aiming at providing more autonomy to the projects: the Field Recentralization programme. Following a first phase in Southern Africa, MSF operations in Central Africa (CA): DRC, CAR, Burundi and Cameroon were selected to develop an innovative and transformational support approach to operations that will be implemented in the region from September 2021 on.

In order to support projects in the region, we are looking for a Regional Human Resources Responsible. He / she will be, along with the Regional Operational Responsible and Regional Medical Responsible, a key member of the Regional Support Team (ESR – Equipe de Support Régional). Together they will be responsible for the operational portfolio in Central Africa while respecting the principle of subsidiarity¹. The Regional HR Responsible will be directly linked to and coached by the Head of Field HR OCB. This mandate will require a lot of mobility in the region and will be based in Kinshasa with the Ops and Med counterparts.

Cell 1, currently in charge of operations in the region, and its responsibilities will gradually change in parallel with the establishment of the regional team. The speed of transformation in the different teams will depend on the operational and contextual reality of each project and each country.

MAIN OBJECTIVES

The Regional HR Responsible CA will be the advisor on strategic HR issues faced by the teams. The position focuses on consistency with HR strategies and long-term memory. He or she will initially be in charge of supporting the transition towards more autonomy for HR managers in projects.

Depending on the stability of the project teams, the responsibilities at country level (today called coordination) will be defined differently (type 1 or type 2). For example, DRC and Burundi will have a different country support team setup, adapted to the complexity and stability of the country and projects. Concretely, the Regional HR Responsible will coach either the HR manager at project level if the project is categorized as stable / autonomous or at the country level in the case of unstable projects. In both cases their autonomous functioning is encouraged.
