Any other admin duties assigned by Operations Manager or Team Leader
Maintain financial records and respond to requests for data from the Finance and Administration Manager in Tunis

Arrange payments as necessary for travel and accommodation to support this work
Support workshops. This may involve arranging the logistics to have Libyans travel to Tunis or may involve setting up workshops etc. in Tripoli or elsewhere in Libya
Provide local support to any Libyan consultants engaged by the project
The post holder will also have a key role, with a procurement specialist (to be recruited), in supporting the expenditure on projects identified within each municipality. A methodology for this will be developed with the post-holder’s assistance.

Reporting:

The Logistics Officer will work in close association with the Operations Manager in Tripoli but will report to the Project Team Leader in Tunis. The post holder will be expected to have a close working relationship with the Finance and Administration Manager in Tunis.

Required Skills and Experience:

The post-holder must have experience of working previously in a remote-management environment with an international organisation.
Has a track record in supporting logistics of workshops and similar in Libya
Excellent planning and timekeeping skills
Demonstrated working experience of managing logistics in an international development setting
Has demonstrated financial management skills on previous internationally-funded projects
Experience of working with Libyan authorities at national and municipal level – ‘opening doors’, ‘making things happen’ in the Libyan context
Experience of working with/supporting international and local consultants
High standard of oral and written Arabic/English skills

The post holder should be free to travel to other parts of Libya on behalf of the project if the security situation permits i.e. ethnic, political or tribal background is not a barrier to travel to any of the three regions of Libya.
