Two jobs from http://www.aidinfo.org/about-us/recruitment.
Open Data Specialist/IATI Delivery Manager
Our vision is that aid information should be available easily to people across developing and developed countries. It should be presented in an easy to understand, comparable, and accessible format, in ways that are relevant to users' unique perspectives. To support our vision, one of our areas of focus is the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI). We are an active member of the Secretariat and Steering Committee, and also manage the IATI Technical Advisory Group (TAG) secretariat, which is responsible for the practical aspects of making IATI happen. This involves developing and managing the standards and IATI infrastructure (websites/registry); supporting organisations to become transparent in-line with the IATI standard; outreach; and supporting accessibility initiatives. To help us deliver on the IATI potential, we are now recruiting an open data specialist to manage our work for the IATI TAG. This is an exciting opportunity to make a real difference to the transparency and accountability of international aid, and play a leading role in a truly international open data initiative. It now is a crucial time for IATI: it has reached critical mass. With the recent addition of the US as a signatory donors providing 80% of official aid are now committed to being 'IATI-compliant', as well as many other NGOs, UN agencies, private organisations etc. We now need to make it happen and ensure it is effective. We have ambitious plans over the coming year and are looking for someone who can lead and deliver them. http://www.aidinfo.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Open-Data-Specialist-IATI-...
