The Opportunity.

This is a new role that will take on the management of our internal IT and systems working with external service providers and being a bridge between them and our teams implementing our existing new strategy, Mtiririko. This will be the lead and only IT role on the staff of ADD, working with a range of external providers as necessary.

To date we have mainly relied on a range of external providers for our IT but it is clear that with a new way of working we need more coherence across our countries of operation and that we need to pay more attention to the accessibility, usability and security of all of our systems.

Coming into this role you would begin by undertaking an audit of our current IT systems and solutions, identifying what is working and where existing challenges or unmet needs are.

Your role would then be to create a roadmap for solving these challenges. You would also need to be hands-on where necessary and have a clear understanding of the systems we use and how they can be best applied to virtual and accessible working.

Finally you would need to help us procure the right systems and providers for future needs, including helping us develop and implement policy and practice around IT security and AI.

You will have a passion for both IT and disability justice. With clear skills in IT and systems as well as an understanding of accessibility and virtual working needs you will be excited to apply them to our context where the right IT and systems can help us make our work as effective as possible.
