The Head of ICoN is a new and exciting role which will deliver a business analysis specialism and will play a key role in effective management, leadership and coordination of the Innovatiion and Consumer Needs team within WSUP.This role was created as part of WSUP’s long term change programme to build our capacity to meet our ambitious goals from the 2020 – 2025 Business Plan. 

About WSUP                                                                           

WSUP is a not-for-profit company that helps transform cities to benefit the millions who lack access to water and sanitation. We were created in 2005 as a response to the urban explosion that has left many cities unable to provide basic services, such as access to a toilet or drinking water, to low-income communities. We work alongside local providers, enabling them to develop services, build infrastructure and attract funding so that they can reach low-income communities.

To ensure that services can reach as many people as possible, and will exist over the long-term, we have a strong focus on financial viability. This means working with utilities and businesses to build services which generate revenue whilst reaching the most vulnerable urban residents, and advising regulators and governments on how to create an environment which enables businesses to succeed.

We work in seven countries in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia, supported by an office in the UK. As the urban specialist in water and sanitation, we are committed to sharing evidence and approaches so that our innovations can enable change around the world. Since inception we have helped over 20 million people access improved water, sanitation and hygiene services.

About the ICoN Team

The 2020-2025 Business Plan describes WSUP as an unusual and exhilarating institution, never short on ambition or a willingness to try the innovative, alternative or stretching. Whilst every team has a role to play in living up to this reputation, ICoN leads the way. This means questioning the way we seek to solve the world’s WASH problems. ICoN looks for innovative opportunities. This might include exploring a new business model, alternative partnerships, different technology or a refined method for analysis. Innovation might be huge leap, or series of incremental adjustments, but will always be underpinned by customer focus and a growth mindset.

Being part of the ICoN team means providing support as a group of different specialisms, being prepared to embrace problems, maximise impact on existing projects, manage ambiguity, seek out your own initiatives, challenge constructively and stay resilient to the inherent challenges of encouraging change.

About the role

This is a new role, part of WSUP’s long term change programme to build our capacity to meet our ambitious goals from the 2020 – 2025 Business Plan. The Head of ICoN will deliver a business analysis specialism and will play a key role in effective management, leadership and coordination of the ICoN team within WSUP.

You will coordinate the ICoN team’s work with the Global Programmes Team and seek integration with country teams to refine solutions and apply innovative approaches. You will manage the ICoN team’s work with the Evaluation Research and Learning team to reflect, share and learn from projects and areas of work which have generated new findings or unlocked improved WASH service provision. You will assist the Partnerships and Communications team to articulate how ICoN can add value to project proposals and help build partnerships with new types of funders.

The Head of ICoN will support WSUP’s work on enterprise development: supporting the private sector in playing its role in bringing innovation and developing services which are both financially viable and affordable for the poorest residents.

Across all areas of expertise, you will be expected to individually and as a team deliver capacity building and knowledge sharing across the organisation.

IDEMS International is looking for software developers to work on a variety of exciting projects with high social impact and global reach. Our immediate priority is to recruit an experienced developer in Django/Wagtail and Python.

IDEMS (Innovations in Development, Education and the Mathematical Sciences) International Community Interest Company has an expanding range of software development projects, focused on social impact, across diverse technology stacks. We are looking for software developers to join our team under flexible full-time and part-time positions. We are also recruiting for a specific project, which is described further below.

IDEMS is a young, growing, social enterprise, registered as a not-for-profit community interest company. We have academic roots and aspirations of global impact. Our work is extremely varied, including software development, consultancy in the mathematical sciences to support development projects and education projects, particularly in Africa. Our areas of impact include agriculture, social development, school and university education and climate change. We are transitioning to move beyond consultancy and towards service-oriented business models.

General Recruitment

We are expanding and expect to recruit multiple candidates through the course of 2021. We are looking for candidates with:

• Experience working in a software development team, including mentoring others, and the ability to work simultaneously on diverse projects in different development environments and programming languages.
• An interest in developing open source solutions to high standards for low resource environments and the ability to support such efforts remotely using standard tools (such as GitHub).
• A desire to work in international development and the ability to support our partner teams in Africa.
• A passion for capacity building and the ability to work patiently with young, inexperienced developers starting with low skill sets.
• A willingness to prioritise wellbeing over wealth and the ability to accept terms benchmarked on university rather than commercial rates.

IDEMS offers permanent staff fully flexible working terms but expects all staff to act responsibly with respect to their workload and company finances. We also have mechanisms to work with people on a part-time, contract and volunteer basis.

We are looking for permanent staff members who would start on a trial basis. Appointments would be expected to contribute to some of our existing projects which use a range of technologies including:

• JavaScript/TypeScript
• Angular
• Django/Wagtail
• Python
• R
• VB NET
• Progressive Web Apps including with JavaScript independence

Staff members would also be able to manage their own projects, either by bringing existing work commitments with them or creating new ones. This would simply require the projects to align with IDEMS principles and not have negative financial implications for IDEMS. IDEMS is putting structures in place that give profitable staff members a say in how their surpluses are used for reinvestment and support of our community.

Informal enquiries are welcome at: enquiries ( at ) idems (dot) international

We are looking for candidates with:

• 10+ years software development experience
• 2+ years developing solutions using the Django web framework
• experience developing custom solutions for Wagtail CMS
• the ability to quickly slot into an existing team and immediately contribute to the project
