Developer LOCATION: Amsterdam, Netherlands GROSS SALARY RANGE: EUR 33,830 – EUR 40,000 (annual gross) Laterite is looking for a Developer to join our Analytics team and develop and implement research applications and software solutions for social impact. This role combines AI application development, software engineering, data handling, coding, product development, and deployment, with a focus on translating research needs into practical technical solutions. This role will liaise directly with our Managing Partner and Analytics team in Amsterdam, and with Laterite’s in-country research and data collection teams across eight countries in Africa and Latin America. This position is open to candidates of all nationalities who have the legal right to work in the Netherlands. Please note that we are unable to provide sponsorship. WHO WE ARE Laterite is a data, research, and analytics firm working on complex international development challenges. We partner with universities, global think tanks, international NGOs, multilateral donors, and government ministries. Our clients include the World Bank, TechnoServe, the Mastercard Foundation, and others. We operate across the Netherlands, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Sierra Leone, and Peru, with 80+ full-time staff and more than 2,000 enumerators. We believe meaningful impact requires being on the ground, building local teams, and establishing long-term trust. Our office culture is collaborative and gives people autonomy to grow into their roles. THE ENVIRONMENT YOU’RE STEPPING INTO You will join our Netherlands team in a collaborative and engaging environment. We are low on bureaucracy but high on individual accountability. You won’t be micromanaged here – we want you to use your judgment to solve problems, support our fast-paced teams, and actively improve the systems you build and work with. The Analytics team in particular is small, and you will have an opportunity to shape your role and the team you are on. Through your work, you will liaise directly with our in-country research and data collection teams across Africa and Latin America, who are working on delivering research for social impact. HOW YOU’LL MAKE AN IMPACT You will work on the development and implementation of AI-driven applications and software solutions for social impact across our key sectors: Agriculture, Education, Public Health, Youth & Labor, Urbanization & Migration. Some of this work might be internal-facing (e.g., building tools to help Laterite researchers do better research), and some of this work will be external-facing (e.g., developing a knowledge hub web platform for an international NGO). An important note on this role: Laterite is not a technology company but is building tech products to complement our research and social impact work. Your experience on Laterite’s Analytics team will be unique and likely dissimilar to similar roles within technology companies. We build fast, we learn as we go, and we all wear many hats. This is a generalist role, requiring multidisciplinary skills across the technology stack – from front-end to back-end to DevOps. Candidates should be prepared to go outside their comfort zone, learn by doing, and share their ideas for how to build better. Your work at Laterite has the potential to make a meaningful difference. We are advocates of building AI for social good to create a fairer and more dignified world. In our own small way, the products we build attempt to unlock insights to help achieve this mission. A non-exhaustive list of potential projects you might work on includes: Intelligent knowledge hubs. Develop knowledge hub web platforms for use by researchers, policymakers, and program implementers working in the international development sector. Enhance data retrieval processes by integrating automated data curation pipelines with knowledge graphs, RAG, and LLM agents. This initiative involves curating unstructured data, establishing nodes and relationships within knowledge graphs, and combining these elements with a RAG pipeline to generate comprehensive, actionable insights that can be accessed in natural language. Automating research processes and data analysis. Develop AI applications that automate time-consuming research tasks for Laterite’s research team (e.g., transcription, translation, quantitative and qualitative data analysis, survey development and testing), increasing efficiency and reducing manual data handling. Supporting the build of an external website to host Laterite’s AI-powered research applications. This website will be publicly facing, allowing researchers to access and pay for Laterite’s suite of existing tools, like AutoQuant and AutoQual. AI-powered applications for rapid data collection in WhatsApp. Develop tools to collect rapid surveys from the field (e.g., with teachers, farmers, enumerators), integrated in WhatsApp, and including automated analysis and insight generation from responses using an LLM pipeline. Generative Data Augmentation and evaluation. Test whether we can create LLM pipelines or fine-tuned LLM models to generate synthetic quantitative or qualitative data. Evaluate the quality of this data against real data. Google Earth Engine Models: Implement and refine data scraping techniques to build and calibrate models within Google Earth Engine, focusing on environmental and socio-economic variables. This will help in making informed decisions based on the latest satellite and geospatial data. This is a challenging position that will provide you with hands-on experience in software engineering, AI application development, various types of data handling (e.g., audio, images, geospatial, survey, etc.), coding, product development and deployment. You will work in a small development team, collaborating closely with senior research and management teams across the organization for guidance and mentorship. WHAT YOU BRING We are looking for someone with up to 2 years of experience in a related role, or a recent graduate, but will prioritize candidates with hands-on experience. We are seeking someone who is entrepreneurial, creative, passionate about international development and social impact, structured in their thinking, and able to translate complex research needs into technical solutions. Specifically, you have: Master’s or Bachelor’s degree in a technical or quantitative field for example Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Software Engineering, Econometrics, Statistics, Digital humanities, or a quantitative social science. Software you have personally built and shipped, that you can show us: a GitHub portfolio, an internship, a research tool, or a substantial personal project. This is important to demonstrate for all candidates, but particularly for those applying with a Bachelor’s degree or limited work experience. Experience working in, or a passion for, international development, social impact, and research Strong programming abilities in Python Experience developing applications with LLMs Familiarity with AI frameworks and tools, particularly in the areas of agentic AI, RAG, and knowledge graphs. Familiarity with version control and collaborative development tools (GitHub) Awareness of DevOps and deployment concepts (e.g. CI/CD, environment configuration, secrets management), with curiosity and motivation to grow these skills Exposure to cloud services, and working with Unix based server environments, and containerization (docker) Excellent written and oral communication skills in English Excellent organizational and interpersonal skills, self-motivation, and the drive to thrive in a fast-paced environment where timelines can often be unpredictable In addition, we welcome: Up to 2 years of professional work experience in a related role Experience working with Stata or R Exposure to machine learning and statistics Eagerness to learn and grow in a collaborative, multidisciplinary team If you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t align perfectly with every requirement, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be exactly who we’re looking for. WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU Competitive compensation. EUR 33,830 – EUR 40,000 annual gross salary, commensurate with experience, plus 23 days of annual leave. Salaries are pegged against Laterite’s pay matrix and grades are reviewed every 12 months. Professional growth. Laterite provides an annual learning budget of up to USD 1,000 per person and 10 days of time off for professional learning each year. Flexibility.

Consultancy To Lead Communications, Digital Visibility And Engagement For The Wio Lmma Alliance

International Union for Conservation of Nature

tanzania

full-time

Terms of Reference for IUCN Consultancy Title: Consultancy to lead communications, digital visibility and engagement for the WIO LMMA Alliance Country coverage: WIO region (Kenya, Tanzania, Madagascar, Comoros and Mozambique) Objective of the Consultancy The main objective of this consultancy is to establish a strong, coherent and community-centred communications function for the WIO LMMA Alliance that increases the Alliance’s visibility, strengthens engagement with coastal communities, partners and donors, and provides a professional digital presence and practical communications systems for the Alliance. The consultancy will establish the Alliance’s communications strategy and editorial approach, strengthen its visual identity, develop and launch its website, support content and storytelling, manage LinkedIn and other agreed social-media channels, and provide day-to-day communications coordination. The Communications Lead will act as the main communications focal point for the WIO LMMA Alliance, working closely with the Regional Coastal and Ocean Governance Manager, the IUCN Communications Team and the ReSea Project Communications Team. The Communications Lead will coordinate the Graphic Designer and Website Developer and ensure overall coherence and alignment of communications activities across the Alliance, IUCN and ReSea. Background Project Reference: P04216 Donor reference: DR04216.69 About IUCN IUCN is a membership Union uniquely composed of both government and civil society organisations. It provides public, private and non-governmental organisations with the knowledge and tools that enable human progress, economic development and nature conservation to take place together. Created in 1948, IUCN is now the world’s largest and most diverse environmental network, harnessing the knowledge, resources and reach of more than 1,400 Member organisations and around 15,000 experts. It is a leading provider of conservation data, assessments and analysis. Its broad membership enables IUCN to fill the role of incubator and trusted repository of best practices, tools and international standards. IUCN provides a neutral space in which diverse stakeholders including governments, NGOs, scientists, businesses, local communities, indigenous peoples organisations and others can work together to forge and implement solutions to environmental challenges and achieve sustainable development. Working with many partners and supporters, IUCN implements a large and diverse portfolio of conservation projects worldwide. Combining the latest science with the traditional knowledge of local communities, these projects work to reverse habitat loss, restore ecosystems and improve people’s well-being. About the Project In September 2024, the first Western Indian Ocean (WIO) Locally Managed Marine Area (LMMA) Forum was held in Mahajanga, Madagascar, bringing together more than 200 participants from nine countries. The Forum resulted in the adoption of the WIO LMMA Declaration and a strong collective call to establish a regional LMMA Alliance. The WIO LMMA Alliance was subsequently officially launched at the Our Ocean Conference (OOC), with a Steering Committee composed of community leaders from across Africa providing leadership and guidance to the Alliance. The Alliance is designed to ensure that coastal communities and LMMA practitioners have a stronger collective voice in national, regional and global processes and that community leadership remains at the centre of regional LMMA development. The WIO LMMA Alliance aims to address key regional challenges, including the absence of a shared understanding of LMMAs, uneven development across countries, and limited representation of LMMA communities in national, regional and global platforms. It also seeks to promote gender equity and inclusivity in LMMA management, strengthen local leadership and facilitate greater access to knowledge, technical support and financing for community-led marine conservation. The Alliance builds on existing networks and initiatives in the region, avoiding duplication of efforts and working as an umbrella platform to foster collaboration, learning and collective action. It also draws on Madagascar's leadership and lessons learned from MIHARI, the largest LMMA network in Africa, to support the sharing and replication of successful community-led approaches across the region. The broader vision is to contribute to the establishment of a Pan-African LMMA Alliance, with the WIO serving as a starting point and regional learning space. In support of the establishment of the Alliance, Mission Inclusion (Mi) and International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) implement the Regenerative Seascapes for People, Climate and Nature (ReSea) project in partnership with local feminist organizations in Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, Madagascar and Comoros. The project is funded by Global Affairs Canada (GAC) as part of the Partnering for Climate initiative. Its broader goal is to enhance the physical and socioeconomic resilience of coastal communities in these five countries by accelerating uptake of nature-based solutions and gender-responsive conservation practices to protect, restore, and sustainably manage marine and coastal ecosystems and unlock a regenerative blue economy. The ReSea project contributes to the Western Indian Ocean-led Great Blue Wall (GBW) initiative by supporting the establishment of a network of sustainable, resilient, and inclusive seascapes in the target countries through a people-centric approach. The GBW initiative is built around four key pillars that align with the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) and the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement. Pillar 1: Blue Planet focuses on scaling and improving the management and governance of protected and conserved marine areas, with a strong emphasis on equity, gender-responsiveness, and local stewardshipsupporting countries to achieve Target 3 of the GBF. Pillar 2: Blue Nature aims to restore and conserve critical ecosystems through gender-responsive Nature-based Solutions (NbS), aligned with GBF Target 2, and guided by the IUCN Global Standard for NbS. Pillar 3: Blue People promotes a regenerative and inclusive Blue Economy by empowering local communities, especially women and youth, in nature-based value chains for climate adaptation, aligned with GBF Target 9. Pillar 4: Blue Partnerships is a cross-cutting pillar focusing on strengthening connectivity at all levels and across different dimensions, including social, ecological, institutional, local, national, regional, international and cross-sectoral connectivity. Within this broader context, the WIO LMMA Alliance contributes to the Great Blue Wall's ambition for transformative and inclusive ocean governance by strengthening community-led marine governance and supporting the development, recognition and expansion of LMMAs across the region. The overall WIO LMMA Alliance initiative aims to drive transformative change through a functional and inclusive Alliance, increased numbers of LMMAs under effective and sustainable management, legal recognition of LMMAs, financial and technical self-sufficiency including mechanisms for direct access to funding, strengthened local leadership, research and knowledge generation, and stronger LMMA visibility and voice. Following its establishment and official launch, the Alliance is now entering an important phase of consolidation and growth. Its regional role, community leadership and growing portfolio of activities require a stronger and more coherent public presence to ensure that the Alliance is visible, understood and effectively represented across the WIO and beyond. There is therefore a need to strengthen the Alliance's communications strategy, visual identity, digital presence, storytelling and engagement across social media and other platforms. A dedicated communications team is required to support this process, working closely with the Alliance Steering Committee and IUCN, as well as the IUCN Communications Team and ReSea Communications Team, while ensuring that communications remain community-led, accurate, inclusive, ethical and practical to sustain over time.
