Global Procurement and Logistics Advisor in Manchester

Our Procurement and Logistics Advisors provide strategic and operational logistics support to our country programmes across allocated portfolios, enabling MAG’s Procurement and Logistics function transformation initiatives to ensure the continuation of our lifesaving work around the globe. You will facilitate logistics change management, supporting the adoption of MAG logistics and procurement SOPs and systems at country programmes level, while providing hands-on support to country programmes counterparts in managing any contingent needs. You will work closely with key colleagues across multiple MAG functions and geographical locations, to ensure adequate risk management processes are in place for MAG’s Procurement and Logistics operations.

You should be a senior procurement and logistics professional with experience in the NGO/humanitarian sector across multiple sectorial interventions. You will have experience over a range of country programmes, including expertise in overseeing large-scale operations in volatile or insecure environments, both in field and head office settings. You should have experience overseeing and optimising supply chain components including procurement, warehousing, asset management, and fleet management, and a proven track record in organizational change management. You will need excellent interpersonal skills, exceptional team leadership, and experience managing large diverse teams, alongside a talent for fostering inter-departmental collaboration and remote work coordination. English language skills are essential, and additional language proficiency such as Arabic, French, Portuguese or Spanish is advantageous.

This is a permanent position which has been classified as ‘roving’. This means that you will be expected to be visiting MAG’s programmes for 60% of your working time or more. When not travelling or in a MAG programme, you will be based at home. MAG will consider applications from candidates who are based in any country, however, the final decision on whether employment in a specific country location can be supported will be based on a compliance and budget check, and be reviewed by MAG’s senior management. You should therefore clearly set out the country that you would wish to be based remotely in.

Please note that the terms and conditions of employment may be set according to location, to ensure legal compliance, and therefore it is not possible to include full details here. The details provided below are relevant to UK-based applicants. To find out about terms and conditions in another location, please contact.
