<h2 class="h5">Job description</h2> <div class="t-break" data-jb-field="description"> <span>About Lucidya Lucidya is an AI-native platform for customer experience (CX) intelligence that helps organizations understand, engage, and retain customers at scale.<br> Unlike traditional platforms that stop at reporting and dashboards, Lucidya combines proprietary AI, deep language understanding, and autonomous workflows to help organizations move from insight to action.<br> Our technology is built in-house and trained on millions of multilingual customer conversations, enabling brands across the MENA region to make better decisions, deliver better experiences, and build stronger customer relationships.<br> As AI reshapes how businesses operate, we're building products that make customer understanding faster, more accurate, and more actionable than ever before.<br> Why This Role Matters Most organizations today are overwhelmed with customer data.<br> Conversations are happening across social media, surveys, reviews, support tickets, messaging channels, and countless other touchpoints.<br> The challenge isn't collecting the data anymore.<br> It's knowing what matters and what to do next.<br> The Monitoring &amp; Research domain sits at the center of that challenge.<br> This is where customers come to understand public perception, identify emerging trends, monitor competitors, measure customer sentiment, and uncover the insights that drive business decisions.<br> It is one of the most strategically important parts of Lucidya's platform and one of the biggest opportunities for innovation as AI transforms how research and customer intelligence are done.<br> As Senior Product Manager, you'll be responsible for shaping how thousands of users discover, trust, and act on insights generated from millions of customer conversations.<br> You'll be joining a team that values ownership over hierarchy, customer outcomes over feature output, and learning over certainty.<br> We move quickly, challenge assumptions, and expect product leaders to bring strong opinions while remaining open to changing their minds when the evidence says otherwise.<br> If you're excited by complex customer problems, AI-powered products, and the opportunity to define the future of customer intelligence in a region where world-class solutions are still emerging, this role will give you significant room to make an impact.<br> What You'll DoOwn the future of Monitoring &amp; Research at Lucidya You'll define the vision, strategy, and roadmap across three key product areas: Social Listening Managed Channels Analytics Voice of Customer (VoC) Your responsibility isn't simply delivering features.<br> It's ensuring customers can confidently answer critical business questions about their customers, markets, competitors, and brand performance.<br> Turn customer signals into decisions You'll spend significant time understanding how customers currently make decisions, where they struggle to find trustworthy insights, and what prevents them from taking action.<br> You'll use those learnings to build products that help customers move beyond reporting and toward clear recommendations, meaningful insights, and measurable business outcomes.<br> Lead discovery before delivery You'll challenge assumptions, validate problems, and ensure we're solving issues that matter before resources are committed.<br> You'll regularly engage customers, prospects, Customer Success teams, and internal stakeholders to uncover opportunities and validate product direction.<br> Success in this role means building the right thing, not simply building things quickly.<br> Raise the quality bar for AI-powered insights As AI becomes increasingly central to our platform, you'll help define what "trustworthy AI" means in practice.<br> You'll work closely with AI, Data, Design, and Engineering teams to improve: Insight accuracy Sentiment quality Explainability Relevance Customer trust You'll constantly ask whether an insight is genuinely useful, not just technically impressive.<br> Make difficult prioritization decisions Not every good idea belongs on the roadmap.<br> You'll evaluate opportunities using customer feedback, product data, market insights, commercial priorities, and strategic impact.<br> You'll make trade-offs transparently and help the organization understand why certain bets are worth making while others are not.<br> Drive product adoption and business impact You'll closely monitor customer behavior, adoption patterns, retention drivers, churn signals, and feedback loops.<br> You'll use those insights to continuously improve the product and ensure the work being delivered creates measurable value for both customers and the business.<br> Be a leader beyond product You'll collaborate across Engineering, Design, AI, Customer Success, Sales, Marketing, and Leadership teams.<br> You'll help create alignment, provide clarity during ambiguity, and contribute to building a culture where teams are empowered to solve problems rather than simply execute requirements.<br> Who You AreYou have strong product fundamentals You have at least 5 years of product management experience, ideally within B2B SaaS environments.<br> You know how to take a problem from discovery through validation, delivery, measurement, and iteration.<br> You understand that product management is ultimately about creating customer and business value, not managing backlogs.<br> You simplify complexity You're comfortable working with large datasets, analytics platforms, AI-powered products, or technically complex systems.<br> More importantly, you know how to transform complexity into experiences that feel intuitive and useful to customers.<br> You stay close to customers You don't rely solely on internal opinions to make decisions.<br> You regularly speak with customers, investigate workflows, validate assumptions, and seek evidence before committing to a direction.<br> You're naturally curious about how people work and where products create friction in their lives.<br> You are comfortable making decisions with incomplete information You won't always have perfect data.<br> You can balance analysis with action, make informed decisions under uncertainty, and adapt when new information becomes available.<br> You communicate with clarity You can explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences and customer problems to technical teams.<br> You build alignment through clear thinking, structured communication, and transparency.<br> You care about outcomes You measure success by customer adoption, customer value, and business impact rather than the number of features released.<br> You're willing to challenge existing thinking when you believe there's a better way to solve a problem.<br> Bonus Points If You Have Experience with social listening, media monitoring, Voice of Customer, customer intelligence, or research platforms Experience building AI-powered, analytics-heavy, or data-intensive products Familiarity with sentiment analysis, NLP, LLMs, recommendation systems, or automated research workflows Experience working with Arabic-language products, dialects, or regional customer behaviors Knowledge of MENA markets, particularly Saudi Arabia and the GCC Experience with platforms such as Brandwatch, Sprinklr, Meltwater, Talkwalker, Qualtrics, Medallia, or Brand24 What Success Looks Like Within your first 12 months: Customers trust Lucidya's insights enough to use them in critical business decisions Product adoption and engagement across Monitoring &amp; Research increase meaningfully AI-powered insight experiences become more accurate, actionable, and differentiated Clear product strategy and prioritization frameworks are established across the domain Customer feedback consistently influences roadmap decisions Cross-functional teams have strong alignment around goals,

<p><h4>Description</h4> <p>Aspire Software is looking for a senior financial analyst to join our team in Lebanon.</p> <p>Here is a little window into our company: Aspire Software operates and manages wholly owned software companies, providing mission-critical solutions across multiple verticals. By implementing industry best practices, Aspire delivers a time sensitive integration process, and the operation of a decentralized model has allowed it to become a hub for creating rapid growth by reinvesting in its portfolio.</p> <h4>What you'll do</h4> <p><strong>Own the customer support experience:</strong> Be the first technical responder for incoming district tickets — diagnose, triage, and resolve issues directly with district staff over phone, email, and screenshare. Train customers on system behavior, walk them through configuration steps, and turn one-off support interactions into knowledge that scales.</p> <p><strong>Diagnose and resolve production issues:</strong> Investigate complex production issues across the full ScholarChip stack — application logs, database records, integration processes, and deployed hardware. Perform root-cause analysis on system failures, data inconsistencies, and integration errors.</p> <p><strong>Support SIS integrations:</strong> Troubleshoot student data synchronization and attendance sync failures across PowerSchool, Infinite Campus, Skyward, eSchoolData, and other student information systems. Diagnose REST API errors and validate roster, attendance, and student data accuracy.</p> <p><strong>Investigate production data:</strong> Query Oracle production databases using SQL and PL/SQL to investigate data issues, validate records, and support data corrections. Reason about root cause across schemas, integrations, and the legacy and modern application boundaries.</p> <p><strong>Support deployed hardware:</strong> Troubleshoot check-in kiosks, ID card printers, badge readers, and barcode scanners deployed across school environments. Diagnose connectivity, network configuration, and device-server communication issues alongside district IT teams.</p> <p><strong>Configure school systems:</strong> Support district-level configuration of school calendars, bell schedules, attendance notification workflows, tardy alerts, visitor sign-in workflows, and kiosk behaviors. Assist in onboarding and configuring new districts.</p> <p><strong>Build the knowledge base:</strong> Author and maintain runbooks, troubleshooting guides, and configuration documentation. Documentation contribution is a core deliverable — much of the team’s institutional knowledge has lived in heads rather than docs, and this role is one of the people changing that.</p> <p><strong>Collaborate cross-functionally:</strong> Work with engineering, implementation, customer support, and district IT to escalate, diagnose, and resolve issues. Translate complex technical findings into clear, actionable resolution plans.</p> <h4>Day-to-day breakdown</h4> <p>55% direct ticket work — investigating and resolving district support requests across the ScholarChip product surface<br> 20% authoring and refining documentation, runbooks, and knowledge-base content<br> 15% deeper investigation and escalation work on complex production issues<br> 10% supporting district setup, onboarding, and configuration changes</p> <h4>Responsibilities</h4> <ul> <li>Own production-support investigations end-to-end across SIS integrations, databases, applications, and hardware — escalating to engineering when defects require code-level resolution.</li> <li>Author and maintain Confluence-based documentation for support troubleshooting, configuration procedures, and integration patterns.</li> <li>Triage and own a daily Jira queue, with clear resolution-path notes that build institutional knowledge as they’re written.</li> <li>Contribute to internal knowledge-base content that powers self-service and support-bot capabilities.</li> <li>Build relationships with district IT contacts, internal support staff, and engineering — be the person other functions trust to investigate the ambiguous cases.</li> <li>Document configuration procedures and integration troubleshooting steps so the team’s runbooks evolve as our systems do.</li> </ul> <h4>Requirements</h4> <h4>Technical skills</h4> <ul> <li><strong>SQL (production-database depth):</strong> Strong SQL skills with demonstrated experience investigating production data, joining across schemas, hunting anomalies, and analyzing application logs. Oracle experience preferred.</li> <li><strong>REST API integration troubleshooting:</strong> Experience diagnosing integration failures, debugging payloads, validating data transfer between systems, and reasoning about retry/idempotency behavior.</li> <li><strong>Programming for debugging:</strong> Working knowledge of at least one language (Python, Java, C#, JavaScript) at the level of reading code, interpreting stack traces, and analyzing system logs. Full development experience is not required; debugging fluency is.</li> <li><strong>Hardware and networking fundamentals:</strong> Comfortable troubleshooting deployed devices, basic networking concepts (firewalls, ports, NAT, DNS), and district-network environments. Direct experience with kiosks, scanners, or similar hardware is a strong plus.</li> <li><strong>Customer-facing troubleshooting:</strong> Experience resolving issues live with end users — phone, screenshare, email — in a way that builds confidence rather than friction.</li> <li><strong>Enterprise application support:</strong> Experience supporting enterprise applications in production environments — you understand what production-grade reliability requires.</li> <li><strong>Tools:</strong> Proficient in Jira (ticket triage, queue ownership, escalation workflows) and Confluence (documentation authoring, knowledge base structure). Comfortable working fully remote in Microsoft Teams.</li> </ul> <h4>Soft skills</h4> <ul> <li><strong>Customer orientation:</strong> Comfortable being the direct face of support to district staff, school administrators, and IT contacts. Brings calm, clarity, and follow-through to live troubleshooting calls and email threads, even when the underlying issue is messy.</li> <li><strong>Curiosity and problem-solving:</strong> Energized by ambiguous, multi-layered issues that require investigation across system boundaries.</li> <li><strong>Comfort with ambiguity:</strong> Effective in environments where systems have evolved organically and not all the answers are written down. Sees that as an opportunity to build clarity, not a blocker.</li> <li><strong>Clear communicator:</strong> Able to translate complex technical findings into clear language for non-technical audiences — district staff, school administrators, and internal partners.</li> <li><strong>Documentation discipline:</strong> Believes institutional knowledge belongs in documents, not heads. Treats doc work as part of the job, not overhead.</li> <li><strong>Cross-functional collaboration:</strong> Works effectively with engineering, implementation, support, and customer-facing teams.</li> </ul> <h4>Desired experience</h4> <ul> <li>Bachelor’s degree in computer science, information systems, or related field (or equivalent practical experience).</li> <li>4+ years of experience in technical support, production support, or similar roles in an enterprise software environment.</li> <li>2+ years of hands-on experience querying production databases.</li> <li>Direct experience with EdTech platforms is a strong plus — prior exposure to LMS, SIS, or adjacent education-software systems particularly valued.</li> </ul> <h4>Other requirements</h4> <ul> <li>Excellent written and verbal English — phone-level fluency required. This role involves direct customer interaction, including live troubleshooting calls with district staff.</li> <li>Able to work aligned with Eastern Time (EST).</li> <li>Comfortable in fully remote, asynchronous-first environments.</li> </ul> <h4>Nice to have</h4> <ul> <li>Hands-on Oracle PL/SQL experience (stored procedures, packages, query optimization).</li> <li>Familiarity with Windows Server, IIS, or similar legacy hosting environments.</li> <li>Experience supporting .NET-based applications in production.</li> <li>Interest in integrating AI tools (Claude, Copilot, Rovo) to simplify support workflows and accelerate documentation.</li> <li>Direct experience with K–12 SIS integrations (PowerSchool, Infinite Campus, Skyward, eSchoolData).</li> <li>Experience with SCORM, xAPI, LTI, or SSO/SAML troubleshooting.</li> </ul></p><p></p>

The content of the generated document shall be the sole property of ESCWA.<br> Work Location<br>remote<br> Expected duration<br>16 weeks<br> Duties and Responsibilities<br>I. GENERAL SCOPE The rapid expansion of information and communications technologies (ICTs) across public institutions has fundamentally transformed how governments generate, store, and disseminate information. This transformation has reinforced the importance of robust legal frameworks governing access to information, such as transparency, accountability, and the free flow of information are essential foundations for democratic governance, sustainable development, and public trust. In the Arab region, several countries have made progress in adopting access to information laws; however, implementation gaps and evolving digital governance practices continue to pose challenges to the effective realization of the right of access to information. At the same time, the increasing digitization of public services, the use of digital platforms, and the management of large volumes of data by public authorities require access to information legislation that is aligned with international standards and responsive to contemporary administrative and technological realities. Well-designed ATI laws not only safeguard the public’s right to know but also provide clear obligations for public authorities, define permissible limitations, and establish effective oversight and appeal mechanisms. At the global level, the UN actively promotes transparency, inclusiveness, and accountability as core principles of good governance and sustainable development. In September 2024, world leaders adopted the Pact for the Future during the Summit of the Future, together with its annexes, including the Global Digital Compact (GDC) and the Declaration on Future Generations. The GDC underscores the importance of open, transparent, and accountable digital governance and highlights access to information as a key enabler of trust in public institutions and meaningful participation in public life, including in digital environments. The UN-ESCWA has a long-standing mandate in supporting its member States in strengthening governance frameworks, including legal and institutional reforms related to transparency, access to information, and the responsible use of digital technologies. Through its technical cooperation program, UN-ESCWA continues to support member States in enhancing their capacities to design, implement, and enforce access to information laws, including the development of implementing regulations, institutional arrangements, and mechanisms for oversight and redress. In this context, the Ministry of Telecom and Information Tech (MTIT) – Yemen requested UN-ESCWA technical assistance to develop national ATI law in Yemen. In response, ESCWA is engaging a qualified legal consultant with specialized expertise in access to information law to provide advisory services tailored to the national context, to be aligned with international and regional best practices. This consultancy is part of a coordinated package of three inter-related legal instruments being developed simultaneously for Yemen: Access to Information Law, Personal Data Protection Law, and an e-Transactions and Trust Services Law. The consultant shall be aware of this broader legislative package and shall flag, in the drafting notes annex, any provisions in the assigned law that intersect with or depend upon the other instruments, to ensure coherence across the three laws. The scope of work, responsibilities, and expected deliverables of the consultancy are set out in these Terms of Reference. III. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The consultant shall propose to the designated ESCWA focal point a detailed version of the report on ATI law. To produce the draft report, the consultant is requested to conduct, among others, the main following tasks: 1.

The key aim is to support member States for the upcoming change in employment and skills due to technological advancements. Ultimately, ESCWA will help member states harness job opportunities emerging from the advent of newer technologies while taming challenges. ESCWA skills monitor is part of ESCWA's initiative on the Future of Work that uses Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence to assess the demand for skills and jobs in the Arab region. Even though AI is very powerful, it still requires significant human intervention to be helpful. In most cases, AI models might be fit for the data that they only have been trained on, where human intervention is required to detect higher accuracy. This was evident, especially during unprecedented events such as the COVID-19 pandemic.</p><p>The individual contractor will be responsible for the following tasks:</p><ul><li>Assist in checking accuracy of how Machine Learning is capturing Occupation classification.</li><li>Assist in checking accuracy of skills for almost ISCO jobs.</li><li>Assist in checking accuracy of how regular expression (Reg-X) models are capturing different features from text.</li><li>Assist in conducting data analysis using data from the ESCWA Skills Monitor.</li><li>Assist in meeting, workshops and mission preparations including administrative activities.</li><li>Help in all Ad hock activities related to labor market policies and private sector development.</li></ul><p><strong>Desired Candidate Profile</strong></p>A High school Diploma is required.
