Hi GVA Web Group,

UN-OCHA is looking for a new lead developer of our field-focused operational platform - HumanitarianResponse.info. We are looking for an independent Drupal developers that would like to take an organizational platform to a whole new level.

In the past couple years, the HumanitarianResponse.info site has replaced 25+ ad hoc, field-built humanitarian operational sites, went through 2 versions, and is now the one platform that all OCHA office use (for operational purposes).

For a good developer, it would be an amazing experience to take an organization platform to a new level.  Beyond good development skills, we are looking for someone with great vision, an ability to question the existing, a love for "open" and an ability to stand-up for their ideas/approaches.

The advertisement is here: https://gprs.unops.org/pages/viewvacancy/VADetails.aspx?id=7642   Application deadline is 10-June.

FYI: the developer would also be (indirectly) involved in the Humanitarian ID project as much of our controlled vocabulary (via our API) is used in their system.

So, if you or someone you know would like to make an impact in the humanitarian sector, please apply.

Cheers,
Andrej

Hello !

In order to reach the Drupal developer community at large, you can post your request on https://jobs.drupal.org . The first posting (for a month) is free, that would fit your needs !

Regards,
Guillaume

Good tip Guillaume.  Unfortunately, I do not seem to have an option to post one for free on jobs.drupal.com :-(

Will look at some of the local Drupal Groups  (I see that someone posted on the Switzerland group already).

FYI @all: due to a UNOPS technical mix-up, there is a new URL for the vacancy: https://gprs.unops.org/pages/viewvacancy/VADetails.aspx?id=7658

Try https://jobs.drupal.org/try-drupal-jobs-free it should still be active.
I posted it on the Switzerland and Romandie Drupal groups, and edited the url accordingly.
