The World Bank launched its open data initiative in April, 2010, to make World Bank datasets data freely available, accessible, easy to use and re-use, and searchable. The initial focus was on popular datasets with national-level indicators on a broad range of development topics, and the flagship products are the data web site (data.worldbank.org); the World DataBank (databank.worldbank.org); and a catalog listing of all datasets that are part of the initiative (data.worldbank.org/data-catalog). The Development Data Group (DECDG) manages the overall coordination of the Open Data and is the secretariat for an Open Data Working Group composed of representatives from all key units in the Bank involved with the project. DECDG’s Open Data team is now seeking to recruit an individual to support the coordination of the Open Data Working Group’s activities and all aspects of its communication and outreach. The successful candidate will assist with project planning for the Working Group. He or she will promote and market the open data and open development agendas with both internal and external stakeholders and audiences; ensure that the open data initiative continues to expand and generate excitement among users – for example, by suggesting areas for expansion of coverage; by ensuring that datasets are accessible using leading methods and techniques; and by ensuring that the data website (data.worldbank.org) continues to provide an appealing experience for users.
