Great to the hear about more future development resources!

It would be fantastic  if this would allow to fix broken things on datahub.io, such as in-editable fields (http://help.datahub.io/discussions/problems/1714-cant-modify-version-of-my-dataset)

All the best, Joachim

Project Manager - Open Data

We are looking for a professional and dynamic hands-on project manager to manage a portfolio of projects at Open Knowledge - an international, world-leading non-profit working on open data.  The project management style will need to fit within our creative and innovative atmosphere, and should help us retain organisational flexibility and agility.


The projects requiring management will vary, but in general will range from £25k/several months/1-2 team members, to £500k+/several years/4-6 team members. Some projects will involve substantial software design and delivery and require good technical understanding and the ability to manage a technology delivery project. In general the project teams are made up of specialists who have a good sense of the area of work and may be able to be the public face of the project; the key role of the project manager is to ensure planning, delivery, tracking and reporting occurs reliably and to a good standard.


Open Knowledge's partners and clients include national government bodies, NGOs, and organisations such as the World Bank. Projects funded by grants are delivered for philanthropic foundations, the European Commission (eg. through the FP7/H2020 programme) and others.

Working in the fast-growing area of open data, we build open source tools to drive transparency, accountability and data-driven insight.

We also build a variety of other open source software to help people access information and turn data into insight.


We’re looking for a python developer to join our team who is smart, quick-to-learn and interested in contributing to a fast-growing and exciting area. You can be based anywhere - we operate as a virtual, online team - and can offer a flexible working structure - we care about delivery, not being 9-5 at your desk!
