Job Title: Digital Insight and Optimization Officer (Based in any MSF OCBA Hub)

GENERAL CONTEXT

Médecins Sans Frontières is an international independent medical-humanitarian organization, which offers assistance to populations in distress, to victims of natural or man-made disasters and to victims of armed conflict, without discrimination and irrespective of race, religion, creed or political affiliation.

MSF is a civil society initiative that brings together individuals committed to the assistance of other human beings in crisis. As such MSF is by choice an association. Each individual working with MSF does it out of conviction and is ready to uphold the values and principles of MSF.

The MSF movement is built around five operational directorates supported by MSF’s 21 sections, 24 associations and other offices together worldwide. MSF OCBA is one of those directorates. The operations are implemented by field teams and the mission coordination teams; together with the organizational units based in Barcelona, Athens and decentralized in Nairobi, Dakar and Amman. The field operations are guided and supported by 5 Operational Cells, the Emergency Unit and other departments supporting operations, including the Communication and Fundraising Departments.

JOB GENERAL OBJECTIVE AND CONTEXT

The MSF digital unit is embarking on a program which aims to transform the quality and impact of OCBA’s digital engagement with its audiences. The program has both global and Spanish market specific components, a reflection of the different areas of focus for the communications and fundraising departments which the digital unit sits between.

Data is central to this digital programme: we want to strengthen our data culture internally, using data to put our users, supporters and donors at the center of everything we do. The Data Insight and Optimization Officer is vital to our success in this. They will uncover the needs, views and behaviours of our audience, providing us insights to improve user’s engagement with MSF’s digital content, the user experience of all our digital products and the success of our digital fundraising efforts.

You will be inquisitive, looking for trends and patterns in quantitative or qualitative data to find hidden insights that help MSF achieve its goals – particularly supporting colleagues in the communications and fundraising units. You will be critical, setting KPIs and tracking how we are doing against them, and why. You will be proactive, always looking for new data sources to learn about our audiences and leading a programme of testing where new ideas on digital content, campaigns or products can be developed, tested and potentially rolled out.

You will be a strong communicator, knowing how to present data in ways that colleagues can understand and learn from, including dashboards and reports. You will know how to build a story based on evidence that turns our information into insight and offers clear actions for colleagues to take forward and be able to offer training and write guidance on how to analyze and understand key data sets or tools.

You will have an eye for detail, regularly identifying areas for improvement based on our data and working to correct them. You will be leading programs to improve the user experience in digital platforms, such as our websites, including undertaking user surveys and testing to identify areas for improvement, or running constant tests to optimize pages for fundraising, communications or other purposes.

You will have a solid technical background, with experience of setting up and using a wide range of digital analytical tools, including tools such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Insights, Klipfolio, PowerBI, Salesforce or others. You will be able to use JSON, XML and other relevant formats regularly used to collect and/or present data from the data warehouse, and work alongside IT and CRM teams to tackle data problems.
