I am re-posting (for different timezone audiences) this amazing job opportunity to drive data innovation, governance and stewardship in the Pacific. This time with a photo taken from across the road of the headquarters where this role is based. Applications close 26 October, New Caledonia time.
Anse Vata beach, over the road from the Pacific Community (SPC) headquarters in Noumea, New Caledonia. World heritage lagoon, arguably the largest in the world. Coconut tree. White sand. Lovely different shades of blue in the sky and lagoon.
