By maintaining a meticulous and secure supply chain, you ensure that every item in our inventory serves its purpose in the fight for human dignity and survival.

Your contribution is essential to the uninterrupted functioning of our hospital and outreach activities in Borno State.

Key Responsibilities

Inventory Control and Documentation

  • Sensitive Goods Management: Exercise high-level oversight of “sensitive” inventory, tracking batch numbers, expiration dates, and specialized packaging requirements.
  • Reporting and Audits: Lead physical stock counts at scheduled intervals and collaborate with line managers to prepare detailed replenishment reports and inventory summaries.

Warehouse Operations and Security

  • Strategic Storage: Organize all materials according to MSF systems to ensure they are easily accessible, fully identified, and protected from environmental damage or theft.
  • Order Fulfillment: Manage the picking and packing process with high efficiency, ensuring that departmental orders are prepared accurately and dispatched on schedule.
  • Facility Maintenance: Take ownership of the warehouse environment, prioritizing cleanliness, organization, and optimal space utilization to support rapid operations.
