Purpose:
UNICEF, the world’s leading organization working for the rights of children, seeks a consultant to provide Web Development services and production support both for HQ and field offices mostly in RedDot CMS but not limited to. In addition, the consultant will be expected to actively participate in the Digital Transformation Project working alongside the Discovery and other implementing vendors. We foresee that as the implementation of new technologies progress, the role of the technical focal point will grow in that area and RedDot development will lessen.
Minimum requirements and competencies:
• Self-motivated and results oriented
• Strong HTML and CSS skills
• Experience with OpenText RedDot (preference for experience in UNICEF’s implementation)
• Experience with WordPress
• Experience using Mobify’s development tool, and framework for mobile websites
• Solid knowledge and experience with web application frameworks and scripting languages (PHP, JavaScript, ASP)
• Be expert in technology and the creation of websites
• Experience with open source CMS
• Experience with and/or desire to work in a non-profit organization preferred
• Possess strong organizational and detail oriented skills
• Proven ability to deliver under tight deadlines
• Knowledge of another UN official language a plus
