FairInsight Project Manager

https://clac-comerciojusto.org/2022/04/consultoria-fairinsight-project-manager-2/

OVERVIEW Fairtrade is an alternative approach to conventional trade and is based on a partnership between producers and consumers. Fairtrade offers producers a better deal and improved terms of trade. This allows them the opportunity to improve their lives and plan for their future. Fairtrade offers consumers a powerful way to reduce poverty through their everyday shopping. Since impact takes center stage and Fairtrade measures its impact on people’s lives, building on what works and adapting to what does not, gathering system-wide data in a secure and consistent manner, facilitating analysis, and turning data into information quickly and easily has become increasingly important to guide decisions at all levels in the Fairtrade system. To this end, CAN and Fairtrade are currently implementing a Producer centric business intelligence service as part of an initiative called FairInsight. The target state is for FairInsight to be Fairtrade’s global single source of truth for producer data and related insights coming from the different Producer Organizations and their Networks. Today producer data is collected, transformed, stored, analyzed, and shared by Producer Networks, Fairtrade International, National Fairtrade Organizations, and FLOCERT–with varying degrees of capability. These producer data stakeholders operate with a low degree of system wide harmonization and standardization in terms of peoples and organization, process, tools and systems and capabilities employed. As result there is a high level of duplication of effort and redundancy in producer data and information management practice. This is a function created to ensure coordination and alignment across the Producer Networks, Fairtrade International, National Fairtrade Organizations, and FLOCERT. The FairInsight Manager is expected to bring expertise to manage CAN’s FairInsight development, processes, plans, and budgets.
