The Gold Standard Foundation is seeking an entry-level Information Services Assistant with an information technology background. The primary focus of this role would be to provide support the Director of Information Services (DIS), in managing the Gold Standard Registry. The registry is a web-based system that tracks emissions reductions projects, and the point of reference for all project information and communications. The system is used by about five hundred stakeholders, including staff, project developers, investors, and NGOs.
The incumbent will be expected to learn the various tasks associated with managing the registry, including checking and modifying project data, distributing essential project information to regional managers and other Gold Standard staff, help desk assistance, establishing new accounts, checking project documentation for accuracy, establishing a filing system for contractual documents, and answering related enquiries via email and telephone.
The Information Services Assistant will also need to liaise with the registry service provider, APX Inc., to improve the system, which will in-volve authoring detailed software change requests, and working with developers to implement these modifications.
In addition, the Information Services Assistant will also have a pro-active role in assisting the Director of Information Services with data min-ing initiatives, and formulating detailed reports based on these initiatives. Therefore, an advanced knowledge of database systems, and Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, is essential.
There will also be various projects assigned, for example, assisting the Director of Information Services in developing an in-house / external training plan for the registry, and writing requests for proposals related to organisation IT needs. The Information Services Assistant will also occasionally receive requests from other divisions to implement changes to the organisation website, and to assist with the other systems needs of the organisation.
