About the job

Solidarités International is looking for a Base Logistics Manager for the Mueda base, in the province of Cabo Delgado. There is 1 vacancy, with applications open until September 30, 2026.

It is a humanitarian non-governmental organization with over 40 years of action, present in Mozambique since 2019. In the Cabo Delgado region, it runs emergency and post-emergency WASH programs, complemented by food security and livelihoods interventions. It has a zero-tolerance policy against any form of sexual exploitation, abuse or harassment, and is an equal opportunity employer.

What you will do

As Base Logistics Manager, you assume overall responsibility for logistics at the Mueda site: ensuring the base has the goods, services, and resources it needs for the organization's operations to move forward.

You translate the logistics strategy defined at the country office into action plans adapted to what the base needs, organize logistics resources, enforce organizational policies and standards, and monitor the quality and performance of logistics services provided to programs. You advise the field coordinator on all logistics matters and act as a link with the country logistics department.

Main responsibilities

• Manage all base logistics activities in accordance with the guidelines of the country office's logistics department;
• Organize and supervise procurement processes: comply with internal procedures and donor requirements, and approve purchase files within the delegated authority level;
• Supervise the receipt, storage, transportation, and distribution of goods, ensuring reliable inventories and good stock management practices;
• Manage vehicles, equipment, telecommunications, IT assets, energy systems, and base infrastructure: preventive and corrective maintenance, and security of buildings, offices, guest houses, and warehouses;
• Prepare and monitor the base's logistics budget, analyzing performance indicators and proposing corrections and improvements;
• Contribute to the base's security strategy, including critical equipment and operational readiness;
• Represent the organization before local authorities, service providers, partners, and other logistics stakeholders, maintaining supplier relationships;
• Produce and analyze logistics indicators and report to the country logistics department and the field coordinator;
• Supervise the base team: recruitment, onboarding, performance evaluation, training, and internal communication;
• Contribute to preventing inappropriate conduct and implementing risk mitigation measures for workplace abuse;
• Support, when applicable, the assessment of partner organizations and their support and capacity-building plans;
• Ensure the quality, archiving, and custody of produced documentation, applying internal control procedures.

Who we are looking for

This is a hands-on leadership role at the base: you will have a team to supervise, a budget to manage, and multiple fronts running simultaneously. We are looking for someone who likes to make things happen, anticipates bottlenecks, and solves problems before they pile up.

Working in a field context requires independent decision-making, the ability to manage a demanding workload, and constant contact with authorities, suppliers, and program teams. If you can keep an operational base running in this environment, this is the place for you.

How to apply

Applications must include a curriculum vitae, cover letter, copies of diplomas, and work certificates. They can be submitted in person at the Solidarités International offices in Pemba, Mueda, or Mocimboa, or sent by email to mud.recruitment@solidarites-mozambique.org, specifying «LOGISTICS MANAGER» in the subject line. The deadline for application submission is September 30, 2026.

Note on salary and the process

The vacancy does not specify compensation — the platform displays "Negotiable" and the salary offer will be discussed during the selection process.

In the original advertisement, the experience section states "3 to 4 years of experience in human resources management", which appears to be a drafting error by the advertising organization since this is a logistics position: count your logistics experience. If your experience is in another field, explain in your cover letter why you fit the role.

Solidarités International is an equal opportunity employer and states that it never requests any payment during the recruitment process. Be suspicious of any money requests.
