Company presentation
MSF ou Médecins Sans Frontières est une organisation humanitaire internationale qui apporte une aide médicale d'urgence à des populations confrontées à des crises menaçant leur survie, et ce, depuis bientôt cinquante ans. D'ailleurs Médecins Sans Frontières a reçu le prix Nobel de la Paix en 1999. Zones de conflits armés, épidémies, pandémies, catastrophes naturelles ou accès limité aux soins de santé, voici nos terrains d'intervention. Toutes ces situations nécessitent des ressources médicales et logistiques adaptées dont les autorités sanitaires et les ministères de la Santé ne disposent pas, ou pas en nombre suffisant, c'est pourquoi une assistance médicale internationale est essentielle aux populations.
Si vous avez entendu parler des actions humanitaires MSF, c'est parce que MSF prend la parole publiquement pour tenter de faire sortir une crise de l'oubli, alerter l'opinion sur des exactions commises loin des caméras, critiquer les insuffisances du système de l'aide, ou lorsque l'assistance est détournée de son objectif premier pour servir des intérêts politiques.
Réunies autour d'une même charte, les équipes de MSF sont composées de personnel médical, logistique et administratif venant de tous les continents. Volontaires internationaux ou employés localement, ces équipes apportent leurs secours dans le respect des principes de l'action humanitaire et de l'éthique médicale.
Chez MSF, nous nous engageons à avoir une culture inclusive qui encourage et soutient les diverses voix de nos membres du personnel. Nous nous efforçons de créer des lieux de travail où des équipes de personnes ayant des origines, des caractéristiques, des perspectives, des idées et des expériences différentes travaillent ensemble pour la mission sociale de MSF afin de créer de meilleurs résultats pour nos patients et les communautés avec lesquelles nous travaillons.
Nous accueillons les candidatures de personnes de tous les sexes, âges, orientations sexuelles, nationalités, races, origines, religions, croyances, capacités et toutes autres caractéristiques de diversité.
MSF ne tolère pas l'exploitation et les abus sexuels, ni aucune forme de discrimination ou de harcèlement, y compris le harcèlement sexuel. Tous les candidats sélectionnés seront donc soumis à une vérification des références.
Depuis sa création par quelques bénévoles en 1981, MSF Suisse et le centre opérationnel de Genève a bien grandi ! Aujourd'hui, plus de quatre cents salariés, aidés de bénévoles soutiennent les 73 projets sur le terrain.

Context & mission
Médecins Sans Frontières is an independent, international medical and humanitarian organization that provides care to people in need, people affected by natural or man-made disasters, and victims of armed conflict, without discrimination and without regard to race, religion, creed or political affiliation (MSF Charter).
The MSF movement is built around 5 operational centers supported by 24 sections and offices worldwide. MSF Operational Center Geneva (MSF OCG) is one of these centers.
Médecins sans Frontières (MSF) has developed its own ERP system named UniField to cover its Finance and Supply
activities and processes in the field. UniField's first deployments started in January 2015 and it is now deployed on
more than 400 locations and used by 5, soon to be 6 Operational Directorates (ODs) and by more than 4000 active
users.
UniField was originally based on OpenERP (now called Odoo) and was significantly custom developed to meet the needs of MSF with the result that there has been a fork for over 10 years' worth of customization and since then UniField has been maintained separately from Odoo.
The project to migrate UniField back to the core frame of Odoo has been launched by the UniField Board with the aim to mitigate risks identified in the current set up as well as to ensure UniField remains fit-for-purpose for the medium/longer term.
The project covers multiple workstreams, those managed directly by the core team, and those to be managed internally within each OD and which are essential for the success of the project.

· Selection, support and configuration to transition UniField servers to Linux Operating System
· Updating of existing training and user support materials and organization of any required training
· Updating API calls & testing for systems which interface directly with UniField
Reporting to the project owner, the UniField Head of ERP Support and Development, the Intersectional Migration Project Manager serves as a central point of coordination for the OD-owned project workstreams. The Intersectional Migration Project Manager is responsible for coordinating planning activities across multiple ODs and consolidating OD resources, plans, project, and risk information into a single integrated project plan.

· Consolidate OD plans into a single organizational roadmap, maintaining a central planning repository with accurate and consistent data.
· Identify dependencies, overlaps, conflicts, and other constraints across ODs, and recommend planning adjustments to improve alignment and execution.
Risk Management & Reporting
· Establish, maintain, and oversee a centralized organizational risk register, ensuring risks are consistently documented, assessed, assigned, and regularly reviewed across ODs.
· Collect and consolidate risks from ODs, track mitigation actions and progress, and identify emerging cross-functional and organizational risks arising from dependencies, resource constraints, competing priorities, or project activity delays.
· Facilitate periodic risk review meetings, promote a proactive risk management culture, and escalate critical risks and issues to the project owner with recommendations for mitigation and resolution.
Reporting and Governance
· Provide project owner with visibility on status updates, milestones, risks, and dependencies.
· Monitor progress against agreed plans and escalate significant deviations when required.
Stakeholder Management
· Build strong working relationships with OD project managers and key stakeholders.
