About MAG:
MAG saves lives and builds futures by working with others to reclaim land contaminated with the debris of conflict, to reduce the daily risk of death or injury for civilians, and to create safe and secure conditions for development.

Our vision is a safe and secure future for men, women and children affected by armed violence and conflict.
About the South & South East Asia region:
MAG supports the development of countries emerging from conflict by finding and destroying the explosive remnants of war, so that communities can raise their families and pursue their livelihoods in a safe and secure environment, free from fear of death or injury. Some of the countries we are currently working in across South & Southeast Asia are Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia and Sri Lanka.
About the role:
This is an exciting opportunity based in one of our programmes in South & South East Asia to use your project and people management skills to lead a team of senior staff across key support functions. Reporting to the Country Director, you will be responsible for managing all aspects of support services, including; finance, vehicle fleet, IT, HR and logistics & procurement day to day, as well as on a longer term project basis. You will be key in ensuring that all programme support services systems are robust and working to enhance efficiency and minimise risk, with added responsibility for developing and mentoring national staff. This is an opportunity to put your experience of, successfully designing, implementing, managing and monitoring support systems and processes, into practice in an interesting and diverse programme.
As a key strategic and senior manager in the programme you will be a member of the Senior Management Team, working to develop the programme.
About you:
You will need relevant overseas experience preferably in international aid and development with a humanitarian agency in a developing country. You will have proven experience of working at a senior level managing projects, HR, Finance, Logistics and Fleet functions in complex large scale operations. Given the scale and size of our programmes in South & South East Asia, you’ll need to be a dynamic, motivated, flexible self-starter, able to hit the ground running. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced support services professional to take the next step in their career and grow their strategic and operational skills in a senior, varied and autonomous role.
