About You
For us, it’s vital that every MSI team member believes in and is committed to our organisational mission, vision and values.
This means that we will only accept applications from candidates who are unequivocally pro-choice.
Our values act as guiding principles, providing us with a clear direction. They set the tone for how we approach our work, interact with others and align ourselves as ‘One MSI’. It’s important that our team members truly resonate with our values and demonstrate them consistently, in all that they do.
We recruit talented, dynamic individuals with diverse backgrounds who share our mission and are focused on delivering measurable results. As an equal opportunity employer, we are committed to fostering an inclusive workplace where everyone can participate and contribute meaningfully. We value open-mindedness, curiosity, resilience, and a solutions-oriented mindset, alongside a commitment to promoting equality and safeguarding the welfare of both team members and clients.
We seek exceptional communicators who are self-motivated, solutions-driven, and aligned with MSI’s mission and entrepreneurial mindset. You should be dedicated to driving social change in an environment focused on sustainable impact, both locally and globally, and comfortable working with diverse teams in an ambiguous setting.

- International work experience – will have successfully worked in a senior management role in a different country (preferably developing countries) and will have had experience of growing the business

- Designed and delivered strategic and annual business plans
- Experience of income generation through donor funding and/or commercial activities and in delivering proven results by making informed decisions with the use of management information
- Financial management experience, including internal controls and accountability: Ideally the individual will have managed a P&L; however, they will have definitely had experience managing and improving the bottom line
- Demonstrable experience of generating, tracking and analysing management information and client data to inform management decision-making
- Previous experience identifying and sharing best practice and encouraging innovation within dispersed teams
- Proven experience of building lasting relationships with key external stakeholders, e.g. government or donor stakeholders in order to deliver tangible results for the organisation (for example, previous fundraising success).
- Experience of business development including developing and writing compelling tender proposals
- Board Management experience
- Experience of building a brand into a brand of choice (including experience in FMCG or other private sector experience)
