Médecins Sans Frontières / Ärzte ohne Grenzen
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international, independent medical and humanitarian organisation that provides care to populations in need, to people affected by natural or man-made disasters and to victims of armed conflicts, without discrimination and regardless of their race, religion, belief, or political affiliation (MSF Charter).
The Legacies team is attached to the General Public Fundraising Unit, one of the four units of the Fundraising Division within the Communication and Fundraising Department of MSF Switzerland. The fundraising area is responsible to ensure the financial resources to support MSF operations by developing and effectively implementing the MSF fundraising strategy to attract and engage donors and supporters to MSF’s cause.
Reporting to the Legacies Coordinator, you contribute to the optimisation of the management of legacy and inheritance donations for Médecins Sans Frontières Switzerland. You are responsible for the legal and administrative management of legacy and inheritance cases. You collaborate with and provide legal advice to the Legacies Coordinator and the Legacies Officer.
You ensure rigorous administrative and legal management of legacy files. You assist the Legacies Coordinator in some of his/her tasks and collaborate with various partners such as notaries, lawyers, executors, administrations, and may also interact with potential testators during initial contact or relationship cultivation at visits, by phone, or during our events.
You collaborate with the Legacies Coordinator to administer legacy and inheritance files in German, French, and Italian and participate in cultivating relationships with testators in all regions of Switzerland. You are also responsible for updating the records of all your new succession cases as well as all individuals interested in successions, and for ensuring the accuracy of your files. You ensure that all legacies and inheritances made to MSF are received and optimised securely through your expertise and experience in the field of legacies and inheritances. You are the reference for complex cases due to your legal expertise, providing advice to the team and holding yourself accountable for any contingencies.
You are committed to cultivating relationships with testators, retaining them, and ensuring follow-up with this target audience. Within your scope, you apply processes and procedures related to inheritances (acceptance, judicial decisions, etc.) and always ensure the protection of MSF Switzerland's interests and reputation. You are also responsible for financial follow-up with the Legacies Coordinator. You work in tandem with the Legacies Officer in monitoring and managing files. You are also required to collaborate with MSF Switzerland's finance department for the management of legacy and inheritance files, as well as during the annual provision phase for the files under your responsibility.
