Our Vision

We believe in a world where everyone, regardless of their country’s wealth or frontiers, enjoys access to medicines and healthcare when they need it.

Our Mission

We work tirelessly to remove access barriers faced by patients and caregivers across Low and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) when seeking quality medicines and quality healthcare.

Who We Are:Accelerating access to medicines for all

Imagine a world where critical medicines are within reach, affordable, and synonymous with quality, no matter where you are. That is the world we're building with our unique, demand-aggregation model that unites healthcare providers across LMICs. At the heart of our identity is a single, resolute commitment: to build a future where geography and income never stand between any individual and life-saving medicines. Our platform isn't merely a space for transactions, we unlock affordable access to medicines by aggregating demand across healthcare providers. We also help manufacturers build a sustainable and reliable global access strategy.

Our business focuses on low- and middle-income countries and strengthens the purchasing power of these markets to ensure the supply of cost-effective, high-quality medicines.
We partner exclusively with authorized, high-quality pharmaceutical companies and certified caregivers to accelerate sustainable access to medicines.

About the Position:

We are seeking a skilled Product Designer to join our fast-paced technology team and shape the future of our Medicines Marketplace—a critical platform that connects healthcare providers with the medicines they need.

Our Marketplace brings revolutionary solutions to the key problems of medicine procurement globally: fragmentation, unfair pricing, lack of transparency and quality. We do so by building a sophisticated B2B procurement platform, focusing on aggregation, fairness and transparency across the entire procurement process. Our platform serves as the backbone of our operations, enabling seamless transactions, regulatory compliance, and real-time collaboration between buyers, sellers, and internal teams.

In this role, you’ll collaborate daily with engineers, product managers, and business stakeholders—including our CTO—to design intuitive, elegant, and scalable solutions that drive efficiency and unlock new capabilities for our users.

Your key partner in this adventure will be our rockstar PM, who will be working alongside you to ensure the right customer needs are identified, and the optimal solutions designed in partnership with our engineers. We all belong to the same team, and we include each other along the way for maximum alignment.

Key Responsibilities:

  1. Marketplace Feature Design: Lead the design of core Marketplace features across the buyer and supplier journeys, balancing usability with regulatory and operational constraints.
  2. Workflow Simplification: Translate complex workflows such as order management, pricing configuration, and compliance verification—into intuitive experiences.
  3. Design Execution: Create wireframes, user flows, prototypes, and polished visual designs to communicate solutions and guide development.
  4. User Research & Feedback: Partner with stakeholders to gather feedback, conduct user interviews, and validate design decisions through testing.
  5. Design System Management: Evolve and maintain our design system to ensure consistency across our products.
  6. Accessibility & UX Standards: Champion accessibility and UX best practices in everything we ship.
  7. Brand Marketing Support: Occasionally lead internal brand marketing initiatives and collaborate with agency partners to ensure alignment with our visual identity and messaging.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Design, HCI, or a related field; or equivalent hands-on experience.
  • 5+ years of experience designing products for B2B platforms, marketplaces, or operational tools.
  • A strong portfolio demonstrating user-cantered design for complex workflows or enterprise system.
  • Proficiency with Figma and a deep understanding of interaction design, prototyping, and responsive layout principles (including design versioning, and engineering-design collaboration).
  • Excellent collaboration skills and ability to work closely with cross-functional teams in a fast-moving environment.
  • Strong communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to explain design rationale to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Bonus: Experience in healthcare, logistics, or supply chain-related design challenges.

What is in it for you?

At Axmed, we believe in creating a supportive and rewarding environment where our team can thrive. Here’s what we offer:

  • Unlimited PTO: Take the time you need to recharge and maintain work-life balance.
  • Monthly wellness allowance: Prioritize your health and well-being with extra support.
  • Paid parental leave: Time off to bond with your new family member without any added stress.
  • Flexible working hours: Enjoy the freedom to structure your workday in a way that suits your lifestyle.
  • Annual off-site retreats: Connect with the team and build lasting relationships during our company retreats.
  • Fully remote work: Work from anywhere in the world and join our distributed team.

View company profile

In a world where the geography of one's birthplace too often dictates the quality of healthcare they can access, Axmed stands as a beacon of hope and innovation. The company's journey began with a simple, yet profound belief: access to high-quality medicines and healthcare should be a universal right, not a privilege reserved for the few. Founded on the pillars of compassion, innovation, and equity, Axmed embarked on a mission to dismantle the barriers that stand between patients in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and the healthcare they desperately need. This mission was fueled by the firsthand experiences of its founders, including CEO Emmanuel Akpakwu, who grew up in Nigeria and witnessed the dire consequences of inadequate access to essential medicines. He, along with co-founders Felix Ohnmacht and Sofia Radley-Searle, leveraged over 30 years of collective experience in healthcare, finance, and public-private partnerships, much of it gained at leading pharmaceutical companies like Novartis and GSK, to establish Axmed. They conceived the idea during their studies at Harvard, driven by an ambition to tackle this global challenge.

Axmed's story is not just about medicines; it's about changing lives, communities, and eventually, every corner of the LMIC world. The company operates a two-sided B2B marketplace platform designed to optimize the procurement process for healthcare providers in emerging and growth markets. This platform aggregates demand for both off-patent and patented medicines, creating larger, more cost-effective order volumes for manufacturers while simultaneously enhancing buyer leverage on cost and availability. It further streamlines the process by curating and consolidating Requests for Proposals and efficiently mapping out supply logistics. Axmed's innovative approach aims to lower the barriers to accessing costly medicines for patients and providers, while enabling manufacturers to expand their footprint in underserved markets. The company's core solutions include the Axmed Medicines Platform, a dynamic medicines marketplace, and Axmed Global Health Advisory, which provides expertise to healthcare entities looking to effectively serve patients across LMICs. Initially focusing on markets in Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Ethiopia, and Nigeria, Axmed is already in discussions with countries elsewhere and plans to expand its operations into the Caribbean. The company's commitment to healthcare equity has attracted significant support, including grant funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, underscoring the transformative potential of its vision.
