Job Description

The Organisation

 Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that advances children’s rights and equality for girls.

 We believe in the power and potential of every child. But this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And it’s girls who are most affected.

 Working together with children, young people, our supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges facing girls and all vulnerable children.

 We support children’s rights from birth until they reach adulthood. And we enable children to prepare for – and respond to – crises and adversity. We drive changes in practice and policy at local, national and global levels using our reach, experience and knowledge.

 We have been building powerful partnerships for children for over 80 years, and are now active in more than 70 countries.

The Opportunity

The role will support the integration of business processes for procurement, inventory and assets with specific focus on MS Dynamics 365, and include the development of training and supporting materials for end-users.

 This role helps to build the capacity of MS Dynamics 365 to Supply Chain users, thereby increasing the efficiency, effectiveness, and performance of the function as a critical enabler to our projects, achieving greater impact in the countries where we are working and in the lives of children and girls.

Internally, this role will engage across functional and geographical boundaries throughout the organisation, engaging a range of stakeholders and users primarily those who use the MS Dynamics 365 for Supply Chain operations.
