SalaryAbout Us
MSI Reproductive Choices is one of the world’s leading providers of sexual and reproductive healthcare. We believe that everyone should have the right to choose. From contraception to safe abortion and life-saving post-abortion care, we are committed to delivering compassionate, affordable, high-quality services for all.
Today, our organisation has over 9,000 team members working in 37 countries across the world. Our success lies in the fact that MSI teams are locally led, entrepreneurial and results-driven, and are passionate about delivering high quality, client-centered care in their own communities. As a social business, we focus on sustainable delivery, efficiency, and funding models that are built to last, so that the women and girls we serve today will have a choice in the future too.
We know that access to reproductive choice is life changing. For some, it can mean the ability to complete an education or start a career. For others, it means being able to look after the family they already have. For everyone, it means the freedom to decide their own future, creating a fairer, more equal world.
About the Role
We have a fantastic opportunity which would suit a junior accountant or a first line IT support analyst/engineer, to join the GIS team to support all MSI countries in their use of our global accounting system, Infor Sunsystems.
You will be a member of a 3 strong finance application team, that is tasked with providing high quality and timely end user support for users of SunSystems and associated applications. You will take responsibility as first responder for MSI country programme staff, regional and global finance end users, when they encounter issues or need support.
You will provide an excellent customer experience and clear communication, taking responsibility for resolving support tickets as quickly and efficiently as possible within service level agreements. To deliver effectively, you will be passionate to learn MSI finance business processes, business rules and the different applications which support these. Where necessary you will manage escalation of requests as required to other GIS teams or third-party support, keeping the customer up to date.
This role provides an opportunity for someone working in finance with a keen interest in IT systems, or for a junior analyst / IT engineer with some existing experience, seeking to grow and develop in a global finance systems focused role. There will be lots of opportunities to learn and develop knowledge in multiple technologies and finance business processes, while interacting with users based all over the world. Much of this learning will come via team cross training and learning on the job from our established Finance Application Analysts.
