Join Our Team: Global Supply Chain Coordinator for Middle East and North Africa Region (MENA) at the Danish Red Cross

Are you ready to make a difference on a global scale? If you thrive in challenging environments and are passionate about humanitarian aid, don't miss this opportunity to join the Danish Red Cross (DRC) Global Supply Chain team. We are seeking a dedicated and dynamic Global Supply Chain Coordinator for the MENA region, based in Lebanon (temporary relocated to Amman).

Why This Role is Unique:

In the face of ongoing crises in the Middle East, DRC is strengthening its resources to meet future needs and enhance our global response capabilities. We are committed to strengthening our supply chain capacity to support our long-term programming and ensure swift, agile responses to crises around the world. As part of this effort, we are looking for a new Global Supply Chain Coordinator in MENA.

Humanitarian aid experience is essential, ideally with knowledge of the RCRC Movement. Experience from the MENA region and knowledge of local markets is an advantage.  
• Problem-Solving Agility: A "Plan B and Plan C" mindset—essential for when a primary border crossing closes, a cold-chain shipment is diverted or delayed, which caused back-donor (Partner) regulations to deem the shipment ineligible.
• Sanction Navigation: Manage the logistical hurdles created by international sanctions, including "over-compliance" from shipping lines and payments which delay the procurement of critical parts
• Diplomatic Resilience: The ability to maintain a professional, neutral stance when faced with significant bureaucratic resistance or political pressure.
• Skills: Strong analytical and negotiation skills, excellent communication and coordination abilities, and proficiency in MS applications.
• Languages: English mandatory. Arabic is preferred.
• Residency: Must be able to travel to the countries of operation in the MENA region.
• Personal Qualities: Resilient, flexible, patient, and diplomatic. Strong cultural understanding and ability to work in multicultural environments are crucial.

Employment Conditions:

• Position: Global Supply Chain Coordinator, MENA and MEDLOG
• Location: Based in Beirut, Lebanon (temporary based in Amman, Jordan).
• Start Date: As soon as possible.
• Contract: 2 year fixed term with a 3-month probationary period

The DRC Global Supply Chain Team is anchored within the Disaster & Crisis Response unit in the International Department, and is part of a structure supporting not only response activities but also long-term programming.
