Innovation & Learning Manager - Finance Departmen t
Médecins Sans Frontières Operational Centre Amsterdam (MSF OCA) is undergoing a significant reorganisation of its Finance Department. Historically organised along a split between Programs and Headquarters, Finance is moving towards an integrated, global functional model designed to better support MSF OCA's strategic direction.
This new model brings together expertise across geographies and teams and is structured around three core functions:
The Innovation and Learning pillar functions as the department’s internal change engine, supporting transformation, continuous improvement, and capability building across global finance teams. The Innovation and Learning function is internally known as FUSE, standing for Finance Upgrading Systems and Expertise.
We are recruiting an Innovation and Learning Manager to lead this pillar. The role reports to the Director of Finance and Business Operations and manages a small, specialised team.
Objective – why this role matters
This role is essential to making the new Finance model work in practice. The Innovation and Learning Manager enables Accounting and FP&A to successfully adopt new processes, systems, and ways of working, while also supporting finance-related projects originating from other departments.
You will identify improvement opportunities within the Finance Department itself, prioritise them, and drive their implementation through disciplined project management approaches. Equally important is the learning dimension of the role: ensuring that people are supported in developing new skills and capabilities and brought along through change in a sustainable and engaging way.
The role balances ambition with pragmatism, turning ideas into realistic, people-centred improvements with real impact.
This role offers a unique opportunity to shape how Finance evolves at MSF OCA. You will sit at the heart of departmental change, enabling colleagues across the organisation to work more effectively while strengthening capabilities for the future. If you are motivated by making change and helping people grow through it, this role offers meaningful impact.
To foster a healthy work-life balance we work with a remote working policy where you can work 40% of your weekly hours from home, 60% working in person in the office. Coming together at our office in Amsterdam allows us to have informal exchanges and chance encounters, share ideas more freely and solve challenges together in real-time.
