Logistics Manager

SOLIDARITES INTERNATIONAL

General objective:

The Logistician carries out logistics management of his/her base, in compliance with donor and SI procedures.

He/she implements and supervises all logistics operations at his/her assigned base.

He/she organizes logistic support for programs, in compliance with SI procedures.

He/she assists the field coordinator in the implementation of safety rules.

He/she supports, monitors and trains the members of his/her team.

The main challenges:

• SI has established operational presence in Gaza early 2024 and runs operations with national teams possessing limited humanitarian experience and seniority with the organization.
• The operational volume of the base has rapidly increased in an extremely challenging, restricted and rapidly changing operational environment, requiring constant adaptation.
• Entry of goods into Gaza strip remains extremely limited. While situation has improved since 10th of October, local markets remain poorly supplied, and international procurement greatly restricted.
• If sustained, the ceasefire brokered on 10th of October offers an opportunity to progressively transition away from pure humanitarian assistance, towards early recovery type of programming.
• Despite improvements since 10th of October, the security situation remains very fluid, and the operational environment associated with high levels of stress and difficult living conditions.

Priorities for the 2/3 first months:

The recruitment of a Logistic Manager for Deir Al Balah base follows the split of the Support Manager position into two separate (Logistic and Administrative) manager positions. This split is commanded by increased operational volume and the need to build capacity of national team in a recently established base. The Logistic Manager's priorities for the first months will be:

• To continue build the capacity of national Logistic team (recently recruited)
• To support program teams for the completion of ongoing grants (ECHO, CDCS)
• To deploy Link and transition the base towards more standard logistic procedures

Security constraints:

Security constraints are very high in Gaza, with a context marked by high-intensity military activities including air strikes, land and naval bombardments, as well as risks associated with medium and light infantry weapons. Social tensions are also very high, linked to the war, difficult living conditions and the collapse of economic activity, leading to looting, inter-family dispute as well as criminal acts. Since the ceasefire brokered on 10th of October 2025, the security situation has improved and explosive violence (airstrikes, shelling) has sharply reduced. The situation however remains very fluid and a worsening of the situation remains a possible scenario.
