Médecins Sans Frontières en Suisse
Context & Mission
Médecins Sans Frontières is an independent, international medical and humanitarian organization that provides care to people in need, people affected by natural or man-made disasters, and victims of armed conflict, without discrimination and without regard to race, religion, creed or political affiliation (MSF Charter).
The MSF movement is built around 6 operational centres supported by multiple sections and offices worldwide. MSF Operational Center Geneva (MSF OCG) is one of these centres. We are looking for an experimented Business Analyst to support our Program Manager and to lead the IT part of our Single Data Entry project.
The lack of visibility in the MSF Supply chain limits its efficiency, with long lead times, limited inventory performance, and limited collaboration between the actors. Lack of available data impacts the supply chain flexibility and agility, possibly affecting response time in emergencies.
We wish to develop, with the help of a supplier, a scanning and reading technology integrated in a mobile application that will collect medical item information (INN, batch number, expiry date, packaging) using 3 technologies: QR Code, Data Matrices and Optical Character Recognition (OCR). This technology will be integrated into all nodes of our international medical supply chain, from European Supply Centers (ESCs) to field projects in our different countries of intervention. The SDE application will be used in every MSF mission to perform order reception, order picking and inventory count.
The Business analyst is responsible for the successful delivery of technical solutions in support of the SDE project. She/he will ensure that business needs are being met in an effective and efficient manner and works closely with the different stakeholders to identify, recommend, develop, implement, and support adapted solutions. The Business Analyst role serves as a liaison between multiple entities and technology teams to define processes, identify process improvement opportunities, and implement new solutions. She/he will coordinate implementation, testing, training, and communication efforts with several MSF entities and vendors. This is a business-facing and technology-facing role, requiring excellent communication and organizational skills to create alignment amongst multiple stakeholders.
