**Position: Deputy Executive Director**

**Level 10 Position**

**1. Background**
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international, independent medical humanitarian organisation. We help people worldwide where the need is greatest, delivering emergency medical aid to those affected by conflict, epidemics, disasters, or exclusion from health care.

MSF was founded in 1971 by a group of journalists and doctors. Today, we are a worldwide movement of more than 63,000 people, implementing and managing medical projects in close to 72 countries worldwide.
We are guided by the principles of independence, neutrality and impartiality, as described in the MSF Charter. We implement our medical programs in areas where no health or sanitary systems exist, or where health structures are overwhelmed by the needs of populations. For 50 years, we have been providing medical assistance irrespective of race, religion, gender or political affiliation. We observe neutrality in situations of conflict, and impartiality in the name of medical ethics. To ensure our independence, the majority of our funding is provided by private donations from members of the public. Additional funding may come from foundations, governments and international institutions.

MSF Southern Africa (MSF SnA) recruits medical and non-medical staff to join our teams here and abroad. All of these people bring professional abilities, practical experience, as well as a commitment to and concern for the people they help. In addition, the Section is responsible for communications in the region, operational support to programmes in Southern Africa, and fundraising in South Africa. The Section is currently in the process of building a new Operational Directorate by partnering with at least MSF Eastern Africa and MSF Spain. As a result, the operational strategic growth of the Section is a priority over the coming few years.

**2. Job Purpose**

The Deputy Executive Director is a member of MSF Southern Africa’s leadership team (LT), with a focus on planning, strategic and organizational development of the Section, in order to create additional capacity and space for the Executive Director (ED) to develop and implement an Operational Directorate (OD) with MSF Eastern Africa and MSF Spain. Consequently, the role ensures strategies for the Section and their translation into actions. During the absences of the ED, the Deputy Executive Director will act as Interim ED and be the focal person for all topics within the responsibilities of the ED. The Deputy Director is a non-voting member of the LT, except when invited to vote on specific topics by the ED.

In addition, he Deputy Executive Director works with the MSF Southern Africa leadership team across departments to implement, supervise and oversee the executive priorities of the Section, including but not limited to: overseeing strategic and annual planning and reporting; ensuring compliance to SnA Social and Ethics responsibilities; risk management; policies; procurement processes, executive administration, and information management.
