Public Health and Humanitarian Medicine Director

Education

• Medical degree (MD or equivalent) is mandatory; a postgraduate specialisation in Public Health, Epidemiology, Tropical Medicine, or a related discipline at master’s level or higher is strongly preferred.
  
• Additional training in humanitarian affairs, health policy, anthropology, or climate and health is a distinct advantage.
  

Experience

• Minimum 10 - 12 years of progressive experience in medical-humanitarian work, with at least 5 years in a senior leadership role within MSF or a comparable international humanitarian or global health organisation.
  
• Demonstrated experience in managing multi-disciplinary teams, including epidemiologists, data scientists, environmental health specialists, and/or anthropologists.
  
• Proven track record of representing an organisation at high-level external forums (e.g., WHO, ministries of health, international conferences) and influencing health policy.
  
• Operational field experience in humanitarian emergencies, outbreak response, or complex insecure environments is essential; familiarity with the Eastern Africa context is highly desirable.
  
• Experience bridging medical operations with advocacy, communications, and partnership-building.
