I. MSF INTERNATIONALMédecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international, independent, medical humanitarian action-driven organization/movement that delivers emergency aid to populations affected by armed conflict, epidemics, healthcare exclusion and man-made or natural disasters. MSF offers assistance to people based only on need and irrespective of race, religion, gender or political affiliation.
The MSF movement is built around seven operational directorates that run medical humanitarian operations and are supported by MSF’s 24 sections, and other offices, such as supply centres, worldwide.
MSF International is the legal entity that binds together MSF’s 26 Institutional Members and other entities that are legally independent. MSF International provides coordination, information and support to the MSF movement, supports its governance bodies and implements international projects and initiatives as requested.
II. POSITION BACKGROUNDThe International Finance Team (IFT) is part of the International Office. One of its functions is to provide financial information to movement-wide governance bodies and other internal and external stakeholders.
MSF International has been using SAP BFC to produce combined (consolidated) financial information for more than 15 years. This information includes the annual financial statements of the movement, as well as a series of internal forecasts, reports and analyses.
The new system would be an Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) solution, generating the combined (consolidated) annual financial report on the one hand, and serving as a Financial Planning and Analysis/Management Reporting tool on the other hand.
The transition from SAP BFC to a new cloud-based EPM solution is a critical transformation for MSF International’s finance ecosystem. It will enhance how financial data is collected, consolidated, analyzed, and reported and enable the processing of many more data sets. The EPM solution will help produce reports and forecasts that will be more insightful, relevant and user-friendly.
High-level requirements, a short list of potential solution vendors and a roadmap have already been established. A consulting firm has been retained to serve as a functional partner.
The transition project is housed within the International Finance Team. The new tool is critical to the effectiveness of the work of the team. Direct oversight of the project is provided by a Steering Committee. Project governance processes are impacted by the fact that the project will eventually impact the breadth and depth of financial reporting MSF entities will provide to MSF International.
Governance is also impacted by the fact that the project is funded collectively by all MSF entities.
The Project Manager is expected to lead and manage the transition project with the ultimate goals that the selection, implementation and roll‑out of the system are done successfully, on time, on budget, in line with requirements and best practice and with continuous support from stakeholders. Further it is expected that, by the end of the project, conditions are met to ensure that the system can continue to provide benefits to the movement and be managed easily by the International Finance Team.
III.PLACE IN THE ORGANISATION
The Project Manager will report to the International Finance Coordinator. Later in the project, it is expected that the Project Manager will supervise a…
