WHAT WE OFFER:

As Group Digital E‑Commerce Director, you will be the chef d’orchestre of Lyreco’s digital commerce transformation. A significant foundation has already been built and deployed on some of the countries. This is a project which requires high velocity to continue developing this platform to become the central pillar of our omnichannel strategy and a key driver of commercial performance. This role requires a leader who can combine strategic vision, technical understanding, and strong commercial impact. You will work closely with the CGO leadership team, CIO organisation, marketing, sales, customer service, and country teams to ensure the platform evolves in line with customer expectations and business priorities.

• Manage external technology partners and vendors, ensuring alignment with Lyreco’s architecture and security standards.
• Establish strong governance and communication across countries and business units.

3. Optimise and Modernise the Customer Journey and Omnichannel Experience

• Evaluate existing UX and features, identify improvement areas, and drive continuous optimisation.
• Develop and deploy advanced B2B capabilities: contract pricing, approval workflows, punchout, replenishment tools, account hierarchies, shared carts, etc.
• Ensure a frictionless UX across navigation, search, checkout, and account management.
• Build personalised experiences for corporate accounts and strategic customers.
• Enable seamless transitions between channels, ensuring customers experience Lyreco as one unified ecosystem.
• Implement continuous improvement through analytics, VOC, A/B testing, and behavioural insights.

4. Prepare the platform to be ready for the omnichannel strategy of Acquisition, Conversion, and Loyalty (with Marketing & Sales)

• Prepare the platform to be ready for the marketing colleagues to lead SEO/SEA strategies to maximise qualified traffic.
• Collaborate with marketing on ABM, inbound, and lifecycle campaigns.
• Collaborate with CRM and automation teams so that they can build anti‑churn, reactivation, and loyalty initiatives.
• Monitor funnel performance and optimise conversion across all digital touchpoints through features and UX/UI
• Ensure collaboration and alignment between marketing, sales, and e‑commerce initiatives to drive sustainable growth.

5. Lead, Manage, and Align Teams

• Foster strong collaboration with IS, marketing, commercial, supply chain, and customer service teams.
