**About MSF**

Doctors without Borders (MSF) is an international, independent, medical humanitarian organisation committed to two objectives: providing medical assistance to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, healthcare exclusion, natural and man-made disasters; and speaking out about the plight of the populations assisted. MSF offers assistance to people based only on need and irrespective of race, religion, gender or political affiliation. Today, MSF is present in more than 70 countries, where thousands of MSF doctors, nurses, logisticians, water-and-sanitation experts, and other medical and non-medical professionals work together to bring essential health services to people caught in humanitarian crises.

The Donor Acquisition and Marketing Manager reports to the Director of Fundraising. The position manages all acquisition-based teams (F2F, Digital, DRTV, Lead conversion) and engages with other fundraising units in the coordination and execution of fundraising activities.
