Hear from different employees who share their personal experiences of working at MSF.
I’m incredibly grateful for my extensive and varied career at MSF. Starting my journey in operations in South Sudan in Supply, HR, and Administration, developing into a Country Manager for DRC, Syria, and Sierra Leone over 8 years. In joining MSF Canada, I translated my field security expertise to the SIMM project. Now, as the Deputy Executive Director, I direct my operational experience to the development of MSF Canada, through the teams who support our Core and Choice Initiatives.

MSF’s value of humanity is something I see every day. I’m grateful to work with incredible mentors that trust and support me. From implementing Twitter Spaces to creating our Instagram, I’m proud of the projects I’ve worked on and look forward to the ones to come.
Josh Rodriguez
Digital Communications Officer, MSF Canada
I started working at MSF as an intern and in the last few years, have been grateful to work with, and learn from, brilliant and supportive colleagues with deep care for the work we do. Having the space to learn, grow (together and individually) and discuss the issues within our work, makes the day-to-day that much more meaningful to me.

Why MSF?
We aim for equity. MSF is striving to remove barriers in all our work environments. We welcome applications from individuals with unique experiences of intersectional oppression on the basis of social markers such as ethno-racial identity, age, sexuality, gender identity, education, socio-economic status or place of origin.
Everyone has a voice. We are communicative and reflective. A range of formal and informal feedback channels invite employees to tell us what is important to them. We continually take that information to make changes and co-create an organization where people can be themselves and do their best work.
Health is important. As a medically focused organization, we are particularly thoughtful about supporting health and well-being. We do this through flexible work schedules, coaching and extended health benefits. We offer comfortable physical work spaces with natural light, sit-stand desks, onsite bike storage, showers and wellness rooms.
