CONTEXT
The mission of MSF Belgium/OCB Finance Department is to provide, through collaboration and partnership, the expertise that promotes and supports the ongoing sustainability of MSF. We aim to ensure that the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of MSF Belgium and that financial resources are used optimally.

Within the Finance Department, the Finance Application Support Unit (FASU) maintains, develops and administers a range of applications used by the Finance Department. It is the center of expertise for the applications and their data structure.

You work closely with the Operational Finance Team, the Finance Planning & Risks Units, and the Field Accounting Controller to ensure that all needs are adequately addressed. You are part of a team of 8 people in the FASU unit.
