Purpose
We are unique. We are the only global network of MS organisations with 48 members from around the world, and links to many others. As a movement by and for people affected by MS, we network, learn from each other, mobilise, advocate, and enable international collaborations aimed at achieving the vital goals that can only be achieved by coming together. Our vision is a world without MS.
Our new CEO will be an inclusive, ambitious, and empowering leader who will engage with, understand the perspectives of, and act as rocket fuel for the movement. You will work closely with the Chief Executives of our member organisations, MSIF Board, and people affected by MS to better understand the effects of MS at a global level, while recognising the value of difference within each member country. You will act as a catalyst for capacity building across the network, harnessing its strengths, leveraging its resources, and sharing its insights in the pursuit of measurable and sustainable impact.
