Our vision is a safe and secure future for men, women and children affected by armed violence and conflict.

 

About MAG in Syria:

MAG has been responding to the Syria crisis since 2013 working to support the development 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. 

 

About the role:

The Base Support Services Manager will have a wide range of duties and responsibilities including managing logistics, procurement, basic financial and HR services.

About you:

You will need experience of working overseas in international aid or development, ideally in a conflict / post conflict environment, and be able to demonstrate the ability to work independently with minimum supervision.

It is essential that you are fluent in English language and knowledge of  Arabic is desirable.

 

You should be aware though, MAG’s areas of operations are often remote with basic amenities, so you will need to be able to live and work in challenging environments, where the need for your skills and MAG’s work is most.

 

Please note that as part of MAG's commitment to safeguarding, this post is subject to background checks before an offer of employment is confirmed.
