Established in 1997, Sphere is based on two core beliefs: that all possible steps should be taken to alleviate human suffering arising out of crisis, and that those affected by crisis have a right to life with dignity. The Sphere Standards were developed to contribute to the professionalization of the humanitarian sector, built on a common foundation of humanitarian principles, quality, and accountability. The Standards are now used by a diverse range of practitioners and organizations working in humanitarian action to design quality programmes, monitor effectiveness, prepare for crises in advance, and advocate for improved humanitarian outcomes. It is a common operational language which allows for any actor to actively contribute to better and more effective response globally.
In 2017, Sphere transitioned from a hosted project to an independent NGO. Two major factors drove this decision: to optimize the contribution that Sphere can make in the humanitarian sector by being more responsive to and supportive of its users and enable a diverse and inclusive range of the current users to have a voice in the governance and strategic direction of the organization. This new position is critical to deliver this vision. You will drive a new strategic approach that fosters dynamic communication with current and potential members, creating an empowered community aimed at enhancing the application and further development of the Sphere Standards in their work serving people in humanitarian crises around the world.
You will lead the vision for communicating effectively about Sphere as well as enabling communication with the members around the use of the Standards.
