Today, our organisation has almost 9,000 team members working in 36 countries across the world. Our success lies in the fact that MSI teams are locally led, entrepreneurial and results-driven, and are passionate about delivering high quality, client-centred care in their own communities. As a social business, we focus on sustainable delivery, efficiency, and funding models that are built to last, so that the women and girls we serve today will have a choice in the future too.

We know that access to reproductive choice is life changing. For some, it can mean the ability to complete an education or start a career. For others, it means being able to look after the family they already have. For everyone, it means the freedom to decide their own future, creating a fairer, more equal world.

The Global Supply Chain team works across all of our Country Programmes to impart best practice on all international procurement and supply chain operations but further to that, to build capacity throughout our network. The Procurement Administrator is a new initiative within the Global Supply Chain function. This function is a strategic activity within MSI, aimed at ensuring availability of quality products at the right cost in an efficient and effective manner.

The Global Supply Chain department is led by the Director, Global Procurement and Supply Chain Operations and consists of a Procurement Team, Regulatory Team and a newly created Supply Chain Performance Team.

This role involves providing high-level administrative support, maintaining effective office systems, and acting as a point of contact with other teams and departments. The administrator will work closely with the leadership of the Global Supply Chain team to ensure efficient and effective operations, publication of new tools and toolkits and monitoring of commercial opportunities within Country Programmes.
