What the position entails:
MSF in Denmark is one of the most well-driven and trustworthy NGO’s in Denmark. You will be tasked with meeting high expectations in the position as the General Director (GD).
The position entails various key tasks and responsibilities, including:
- Representing MSF in Denmark. You are expected to be able to participate and represent MSF Denmark on platforms such as public debates, interviews, and talks for a variety of audiences throughout the country. It is therefore an advantage to be fluent in Danish, spoken and written.
- Staff Responsibilities. In MSF Denmark, we have an “open-door” approach, which implies that you may become involved in many different projects running within the office. Your direct staff responsibilities involve primarily the Management Team, consisting of you as GD and the managers of the five departments.
- International cooperation. MSF is an international organization consisting of different associations, sections and operational centers. Your job as GD will require involvement and participation in different working groups with GDs of other sections. Proficiency in spoken and written English is therefore required, and a basic level of understanding/proficiency in French would be an advantage.
- Fundraising. MSF Denmark has its own fundraising department with a dedicated Fundraising Director. You are expected to be involved in particular with fundraising projects, which includes providing an analytical perspective to ensure decisions made do not potentially conflict with MSF’s work, vision and mission.
- Lobbying & Témoignage. At times, MSF may speak out publicly to bring a forgotten crisis into the public eye, denounce abuses, challenge the diversion of assistance, or to call out policies that restrict access to medical care or essential medicines. Your position is expected to include some lobbying work with politicians as well as other NGO’s and/or relevant actors.

The General Director’s Case: Your First Board Meeting
Part of your job as GD will be to participate in MSF Denmark’s monthly board meeting. Imagine that you have already been hired as GD and you are preparing for the first board meeting. You will be asked to answer the following questions:

- How would you describe your leadership style and how will it be expressed in the workplace?
- In recent years there has been a rise of nationalism and populism both internationally and in Denmark. What are your thoughts on this? How will you motivate the Danish population to provide assistance to refugees?

Evaluation criteria
For you to be able to answer the case questions in the best possible way, you can see this list entailing the evaluation criteria:
- Cooperation: It is a central point that the cooperation in the leadership team, and in the office, will take place with a mutual respect for the individual’s approach and professionalism. In continuation of this, it is of utmost importance that everyone feels involved in decisions made. It means, among other things, that you can listen actively to different parties’ ideas and suggestions.
- Concretization of ideas and initiatives: Your answer will also be evaluated based on your ability to transform wishes and ideas into action as well as your strategic and analytical abilities.
- Process-understanding and process-language: To succeed as GD, it is crucial that you can handle a reality of strong ambitions as well as personal and political interests. Thus, it is important that you can strongly describe the processes involved in the realization of your initiatives. Likewise, it is important that you are able to understand and consider the different, sometimes opposite, language, interests and agendas of various stakeholders.
- Communication: We will also evaluate you based on how you communicate your answer to the case.
- Credibility: One of MSF’s most important assets is credibility. It is therefore crucial that you are ambitious, realistic, and able to pinpoint any possible pitfalls in your presentation.
