MAG is moving to a new phase of its Procurement and Logistics transformation journey, engaging on new areas and focusing on stabilising all the changes that have been promoted during the past few years. In order to get ready to support the implementation of the projects in pipeline, MAG’s Logistics team is going through a process of right-sizing, and is recruiting to some critical roles as the incumbent post-holders are moving to new roles both internally and outside MAG.
We are recruiting for two types of Senior Procurement and Logistics Manager roles as listed below. There are three vacancies in total. When you submit your application, please clearly indicate which role you are applying for. If you are applying for more than one vacancy, please indicate your order of preference clearly.
Regional Procurement and Logistics Manager (2 Roles): Focusing on Middle East or Asia Pacific Regions respectively, you will support country programmes within those regions on an operational day-to-day basis, and at a strategic level. You will be an enabler, linking MAG’s Manchester office and country Programmes, facilitating the adoption of new SOPs, processes, tools and ways of working at country level, building synergies and capacities across a portfolio of Programmes, and ensuring field-requirements are embedded in the design of any logistics management framework and approach.
Roving Logistics Manager (1 Role):This key position provides contingency support to Programmes at a global scale, being deployed as well to facilitate scaling up and deployment of MAG operations in new Programmes, and works as an enabler with the rest of the team members, supporting the coordination and implementation of teams’ projects within the logistics transformation framework.
All three roles involve significant travel to MAG country programmes, mostly over a rolling deployment calendar but at times with short notice; the total amount of travel is estimated above 60%.
