Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international medical humanitarian association, created in 1971, which provides assistance to populations whose lives are threatened as a result of armed conflict, epidemics, natural disasters or lack of access to care. Today, MSF is present in more than 60 countries around the world.
To cover a new position, we are looking for a E-commerce Manager.
Mission:
In close collaboration with the Head Pharmacist and under the supervision of the Head of Program, the E-commerce manager will ensure the set-up and the running of a not-for-profit online medicine sale platform.
1. Background
In many countries where MSF intervenes, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, there is a lack of availability of quality medicines at affordable prices. The shortages affect all categories of patients, and particularly the patients suffering from non-transmittable diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular or mental health diseases, as in the last decades, the non-communicable diseases have taken a larger share of the disease burden in the low and middle-income countries. The consequences are drop-outs from care, harmful delays, and high impacts on the household expenditures.
A theoretical feasibility study has been carried on and identified that an online not-for-profit medicine sale platform could improve the access to NCD medicines in some African countries and be a relevant tool for advocacy on the topic. The next phase is a real-life proof of concept pilot. The sale platform would be funded and managed by MSF and its services would be free-of-charge for the patients, while the medicines would be sold and shipped to them by third-party suppliers. The website will be built and maintained by a third-party agency.
2. Objectives
The E-commerce manager will be responsible for all the operational aspects of the online sale platform, including the quality and performance optimization. She/he will have a key role for the building of the website by interacting with the web agency selected for its development. Once the website is ready for run, she/he will manage the agency in charge of the platform and put in place a digital team expected to grow if the volumes of sales is growing.
Responsibilities:
. Close management of the third-party web-agency in order to achieve the overall smooth and efficient development and functioning of the website.
. Development of the marketing content of the website.
. Development of the customer service scenarios and processes.
Once the platform is up and running:
. Recruit, train and manage the team dedicated to the functioning of the website: 1 webmaster, 1 digital marketer and 1 customer relations officer, to be adjusted in case the volume of activities increases.
. Help the third-party suppliers set up and manage logistics operations, to ensure that orders are prepared, delivered and/or returned if necessary (fulfillment-stock-supply / after-sales service …).
. Manage all online activity in relation to traffic acquisition, sales, conversion and a/b testing and reporting.
. Develop and implement ecommerce strategies in order to improve website performance.
. Work with developers to improve website speed.
. Research market in order to discover new trends and technologies in order to improve website performance.
. Analyse various data in order to deliver data driven strategies and to deliver top performance and achieve KPIs.
. Develop content calendar and oversee website uploads and landing pages development.
