Senior Specialist – Knowledge Management, Habitat for Humanity

It’s an exciting time to be part of Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI)! Habitat is working on implementing its Global Impact 2025 initiative. This is a dramatic change initiative aimed at tripling our scale, impact and funding by 2025, in order to build a common programmatic identity with people-centered development and systemic change at its heart; and to build one integrated network with the operational capabilities and technical skills required to deliver on that vision.

We are looking for candidates who are driven, resourceful and want desperately to help as many families as possible build strength and stability through housing. We want people who are uncompromisingly committed to Habitat for Humanity’s vision and core values of courage (to do what’s right), accountability (to take personal responsibility for the mission and our actions) and humility (to remember that we are part of something bigger than ourselves). Together, we will achieve a world where everyone has a decent place to live. www.habitat.org.
