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.

At the heart of the Operations Department of the Operational Center of Geneva (OCG), the “cells” are multidisciplinary teams of 7 to 8 experts (Program Manager, Deputy Program Manager, Polyvalent Medical Referent, Operational HR Partner (HROP), Operational Logistics Manager, Operation Supply Manager, Operational Finance Manager, Operational Communication Manager, Cell Assistant).

The HROP of the Emergency desk also serves as the pool manager for members of the Emergency Pool.

• Ensures the administrative and statistical follow-up of the assigned pool (data updates, evaluations, etc.).
• Contributes to reflections on various HR and emergency practices and strategies in collaboration with the entire HR department and with the Emergency Response Unit.
