<p>Aspire Software is looking for a Customer-Technical Support Specialist to join our team in Lebanon. 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><p>Role Overview</p><p>As a Technical Customer Support Specialist, you are often the first person a hotel contacts when something in its property management system is not working sometimes during check-in and with guests waiting. You will help customers use our software effectively, answer how-to questions, diagnose technical problems, and resolve issues across a broad range of hospitality products and integrations. This includes explaining workflows, guiding users through configuration and operational tasks, reproducing reported problems, and determining whether an issue is related to data, configuration, permissions, an integration, or a software defect. You will resolve as much as possible during the initial interaction. When escalation is required, you will document the issue with enough evidence and context that the next person can continue the investigation without starting over.

Correct intent, priority, sentiment, language, and product classifications when necessary, and suppress automated responses when they would be inappropriate, including security, legal, or previously escalated matters. AI output is a starting point. You remain accountable for the accuracy of the response and for confirming that the customer s issue has been resolved.</li><li>Diagnose Issues Across Our Product Portfolio</li><li>Support roommaster Cloud, roommaster Anywhere, our browser-based PMS, Booking Engine and Channel Manager, roommaster Payments, Caretaker/Eventory and many more.

Recognize the operational impact of distribution issues. For example, a stalled availability update that could cause a hotel to oversell rooms requires a different response than a routine mapping question.</li><li>Maintain Accurate Support Records</li><li>Ensure each ticket contains the correct: Ticket form and classification Customer organization and contact Product and product-automation fields Priority and severity Problem-versus-question classification Troubleshooting notes and supporting evidence Contacts must be associated with the correct organization, and all required information must be completed before a ticket is resolved.</li><li>Reduce Repeat Contact</li></ul><p><strong>Desired Candidate Profile</strong></p><p>At least one year of experience in technical support, application support, software support, or a comparable customer-facing technical role</p><p>A structured diagnostic approach: reproduce the issue, isolate variables, form and test a hypothesis, and escalate with evidence</p><p>Ability to distinguish among a product question, data issue, configuration problem, permissions issue, integration failure, and software defect</p><p>Comfort using browser developer tools, including reviewing console errors and inspecting failed network requests</p><p>Working knowledge of APIs and integrations, including HTTP status codes, request and response payloads, and webhooks</p><p>Ability to reconstruct events using logs, audit trails, transaction histories, and customer conversations</p><p>Strong written English and the ability to produce clear, accurate responses suitable for customers, hotel management, processors, vendors, and other stakeholders</p><p>Clear and confident spoken English, including the ability to lead a live call with a customer experiencing a stressful operational issue</p><p>Ability to manage and prioritize your workload without needing to be given a daily task list</p><p>Strong ownership and follow-through, including confirming that the customer s issue has been resolved</p><p>Beneficial Experience</p><ul><li>Hotel front-desk, reservations, accounting, or back-office experience</li><li>Experience with card payments or payment terminals, including Adyen, or another hotel or retail payment provider</li><li>Experience with channel managers, booking engines, or OTA extranets</li><li>Experience with Zendesk or a comparable ticketing platform</li><li>SQL knowledge or experience building reports from a relational database</li><li>Basic networking knowledge</li><li>Ability to use AI-assisted tools effectively while critically evaluating their output for accuracy, relevance, tone, security, and appropriateness</li><li>Experience supporting SaaS products or connected software platforms</li></ul>

Result of Service<br>A report explaining the draft framework for well-permitting. A report on proof of concept demonstrating the implementation of the framework, including codes and operational commands.<br> Work Location<br>Remotely<br> Expected duration<br>3 months<br> Duties and Responsibilities<br>Background Arab States are among the most water scarce in the world, with 19 States out of 22 below the water scarcity threshold including 13 States below the absolute water scarcity threshold. Freshwater scarcity is aggravated by several factors, including dependency on transboundary water resources, pollution, climate change, non-revenue water losses, inefficient use, increasing demand, insufficient investment, and damage to infrastructure due to conflict. Water scarcity is a significant challenge for sustainable development, as it directly affects the ability to ensure access to water and sanitation for all, while also having important implications for energy and food security, economic development, as well as urban and rural livelihoods. Water security challenges caused by water scarcity also require national and regional security considerations and transboundary water cooperation to achieve global goals. Sustainable groundwater management in the Arab region is central to water security. Groundwater accounts for half of the freshwater needs in Arab States, be it for agriculture, industry, energy or domestic use. The reliance on groundwater is increasing as surface waters become more scarce, polluted and costly to capture in face of climate change impacts and increasing demand. Although groundwater resources in the Arab region are critical for water security, relevant data and information remains limited and inaccessible. ESCWA established the Arab Groundwater Knowledge Platform as a regional knowledge hub to avail geospatial resources and information regarding this critical resource. Lebanon similarly is becoming more and more reliant on groundwater resources with some aquifers already being depleted by over pumping by private wells or being affected by seawater intrusion. Data on groundwater is either unavailable or inaccessible or greatly dispersed across several private and public entities. The Ministry of Energy and Water, the main custodian for groundwater, has a great need to update its groundwater database and develop geospatial analytical capacities of staff to better monitor groundwater resources, support groundwater wells licensing and inform management of the resources. The consultant is intended to support ongoing work to utilize geospatial information system (GIS) technologies for the review, digitization, classification and analysis of maps related to groundwater resources to facilitate analysis for informed decision-making. Duties and Responsibilities • Support update of an interactive WebGIS dashboard and integrate additional monitoring, climate and remote sensing datasets into the platform; • Develop a draft framework for well permitting decision making based on specialized codes that operationalize collected data and information combined with regulatory criteria; • Develop full hydrogeological factsheets for selected national priority national aquifers supported by data and information from platform.<br> Qualifications/special skills<br>A first-level university degree in geoscience, hydrogeology or related field is required. A Master’s degree in a similar field is desirable. All candidates must submit a copy of the required educational degree. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed.

<p><h4>Description</h4>
<p>Aspire Software is looking for a Technical Support Specialist 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>Role overview</h4>
<p>We are seeking a hands-on Technical Support Specialist (Level 1 / Level 2) to provide end-to-end technical support for a member management, dues collection, and dispatch platform used by trade unions across the United States. The application is built on a Microsoft Access front end installed on client systems, backed by a SQL Server database. This is a blended support and maintenance role: the work is primarily support-focused — diagnosing and resolving client-reported issues — but the successful candidate will be comfortable reading, modifying, and testing code (SQL, VBA, and legacy application logic) to resolve defects directly rather than simply triaging and escalating. The role replaces developer capacity on the team, so the emphasis is on bug fixes, issue resolution, and ongoing maintenance rather than net-new feature development.</p>
<h4>Key responsibilities</h4>
<ul>
<li>Own client-reported issues end to end — from intake and triage through diagnosis, resolution, testing, and closure.</li>
<li>Provide both Level 1 (frontline troubleshooting) and Level 2 (deeper technical diagnosis and remediation) support.</li>
<li>Remotely access client systems (via remote desktop tools such as TeamViewer, AnyDesk, or Zoom) to investigate and resolve issues.</li>
<li>Diagnose and fix defects in the application, including reading and modifying VBA scripts, Access forms/queries/modules, and SQL Server objects (queries, stored procedures, views).</li>
<li>Write, modify, and test SQL to investigate data issues, correct records, and validate fixes against the SQL Server back end.</li>
<li>Troubleshoot application functionality, connectivity, configuration, and data-integrity problems in a Microsoft Access / SQL Server environment.</li>
<li>Reproduce reported bugs, identify root cause, implement fixes, and verify resolution before returning to the client.</li>
<li>Escalate genuinely complex or architectural issues to senior engineers, with clear documentation of steps taken and findings.</li>
<li>Document resolutions, maintain support logs, and contribute to the internal knowledge base to reduce recurrence.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<ul>
<li>2–5 years of experience in IT technical support, application support, or a technical helpdesk role.</li>
<li>Fluency in English — strong written and verbal communication, sufficient for direct interaction with a North American client base.</li>
<li>Good SQL skills — able to read, write, modify, and test SQL queries against SQL Server (SELECT, joins, filtering, and basic data correction).</li>
<li>Ability to debug Microsoft applications and legacy tech stacks, including Microsoft Access and VBA scripting — able to read, understand, and modify existing code to resolve defects.</li>
<li>Strong understanding of Windows environments and desktop application troubleshooting.</li>
<li>Familiarity with remote access tools (e.g., TeamViewer, AnyDesk, Zoom) for supporting client systems.</li>
<li>Availability to work 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM EST, aligned to the North American client base.</li>
<li>Ability to work independently, manage a queue of issues, and follow escalation procedures.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Preferred skills</h4>
<ul>
<li>Experience supporting or maintaining Microsoft Access applications with a SQL Server back end.</li>
<li>Working knowledge of SQL Server administration concepts (stored procedures, views, indexing, backups).</li>
<li>Prior experience in a software support / bug-fix / maintenance capacity as opposed to pure feature development.</li>
<li>Exposure to membership, dues, dispatch, or association management software (or comparable line-of-business systems).</li>
<li>Relevant certifications (e.g., CompTIA A+, Microsoft Certified: Fundamentals, or SQL-related credentials).</li>
</ul>
<h4>Soft skills</h4>
<ul>
<li>Problem-solving mindset with strong attention to detail and a focus on root-cause resolution.</li>
<li>Clear, professional, and patient communication with clients.</li>
<li>Ability to remain calm under pressure and manage multiple concurrent issues.</li>
<li>Self-directed and reliable when working remotely across time zones.</li>
</ul></p><p></p>

<p>Duties and Responsibilities GENERAL SCOPE Open-source software policies provide a strategic framework governing how public institutions assess, procure, use, develop, reuse and share software whose source code can be inspected, modified and redistributed under an appropriate open licence. Their importance for sustainable development extends well beyond the possibility of avoiding licence fees. When properly implemented, such policies can reduce the duplication of public investments, facilitate interoperability among government systems, increase transparency and auditability, enable solutions to be adapted to local languages and needs, and reduce excessive dependence on individual technology suppliers. They can also allow governments, universities, local companies and civil society organizations to collaborate on shared digital solutions, thereby strengthening national technological capabilities, creating opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises and supporting local digital employment. Open-source software solutions are particularly relevant to lower- and middle-income and crisis-affected countries because they can be reused and adapted rather than developed repeatedly from the beginning. The United Nations recognizes open-source software as an important category of digital public goods and calls for greater investment in such goods to advance the Sustainable Development Goals . In this sense, open-source policies can contribute directly to SDG 9 on innovation and resilient infrastructure, SDG 16 on effective, accountable and inclusive institutions, and SDG 17 on partnerships, while also supporting digital services in health, education, social protection, agriculture and local government. Nevertheless, open-source adoption should not be treated as an automatic or purely cost-saving choice. Effective policies should address total cost of ownership, cybersecurity, software maintenance, licensing compliance, accessibility, data protection, documentation, technical support and long-term community governance. Several governments have institutionalized these principles. The European Commission s Open Source Software Strategy promotes a Think Open approach through which European institutions are encouraged to use, share and contribute to open-source solutions, increase software reuse and strengthen technological control and collaboration across administrations . France has established a dedicated government open-source function, the code.gouv.fr platform and the Socle Interminist riel de Logiciels Libres, a reference catalogue of open-source software recommended for use across the public administration . Within the Arab region, Saudi Arabia s Digital Government Authority published a Free and Open-Source Government Software Strategy and an implementation guideline aimed at improving technology leadership, increasing efficiency in government IT spending, encouraging software and source-code reuse, and supporting the growth of the national digital economy. Egypt has also, since several years, adopted a national strategy supporting free and open-source software, while the Software Engineering Competence Center under the Information Technology Industry Development Agency serves as the government s focal point for this field. For Palestine, an open-source software policy could become an important instrument for building affordable, resilient and nationally sustainable digital government. In a context of severe fiscal constraints and service-delivery arrangements, the systematic reuse of secure and proven software components could help reduce repeated development and licensing expenditure, while improving interoperability among ministries, municipalities and public institutions. Furthermore, requiring donor-funded digital projects to use open standards, provide adequate documentation and consider publication under suitable open-source licences could improve national ownership and prevent isolated systems from being abandoned after project financing ends. These benefits would require a phased implementation model based on an inventory of existing systems, open and interoperable technical standards, procurement rules that evaluate open-source and proprietary options fairly, security and privacy assessments, capacity-building programmes, and a central open-source programme office or coordination unit responsible for governance, licensing, reuse and sustainable maintenance. The United Nations is involved in enhancing the use of emerging technologies for sustainable development.</p><p><strong>Desired Candidate Profile</strong></p><p>A Master's degree in digital technologies, software engineering or a related field is required; a Ph.D. is desirable. All candidates must submit a copy of the required educational degree. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed. At least 10 years of professional experience and research in digital technologies/software engineering is required Demonstrated professional experience in open-source governance and licensing, digital-government architecture, API governance and interoperability, cloud governance and procurement, cybersecurity and data protection is desirable. Previous experience in policy development is desirable. Languages English and French are the working languages of the United Nations Secretariat; and Arabic is a working language of ESCWA. For this position, Fluency in Arabic and English is required. Note: Fluency equals a rating of fluent in all four areas (speak, read, write, and understand) and Knowledge of equals a rating of confident in two of the four areas.</p>

Result of Service<br>The ultimate result of this consultancy is a comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness, adequacy, accessibility and responsiveness of cash assistance and care services provided to Older Persons in Palestine - in both West Bank and Gaza. The assessment will inform the Ministry’s of Social Development policy improvements and adjustments in these two areas.<br> Work Location<br>Palestine / Remote<br> Expected duration<br>4 Months<br> Duties and Responsibilities<br>Background In Palestine, prolonged socioeconomic challenges, conflict, displacement, and growing pressures on public institutions have heightened the vulnerability of older persons, particularly those living in poverty, experiencing disability, living alone, or requiring long-term care. In the West Bank, older persons continue to face multiple vulnerabilities associated with the prolonged occupation, including movement restrictions, increasing poverty, unequal access to essential services, and mounting economic pressures. In the Gaza Strip, the ongoing humanitarian crisis has further exacerbated these challenges, severely disrupting access to healthcare, social services, income security, and community support systems. The Ministry of Social Development has undertaken important reforms to strengthen the national social protection system through the implementation of its Strategy (2025–2027), the National Strategy for Older Persons (2021–2026), and broader initiatives related to the national social registry, case management systems, and multidimensional poverty reduction. Within this evolving policy landscape, cash assistance programmes and care services constitute two critical but complementary pillars of social protection for older persons. While cash transfers provide essential income security, their effectiveness depends on the availability, accessibility and quality of healthcare, long-term care and social services that enable older persons to maintain their dignity, independence and quality of life. Yet, evidence remains limited regarding the extent to which existing programmes effectively respond to the multidimensional needs of older persons, the adequacy of benefits and services, institutional coordination, and the overall impact of social protection interventions on their well-being. Against this backdrop, ESCWA is hiring a consultant to prepare a study to assess the effectiveness, adequacy, accessibility and responsiveness of cash assistance and care services for older persons in Palestine -including the West Bank and Gaza. The consultancy will generate evidence to inform future reforms and improvement of social protection policies and programmes for older persons. Duties and Responsibilities of the Consultant In close coordination with ESCWA and the Ministry of Social Development in Palestine, the consultant will: 1. Prepare an inception report for the study outlining the refined methodology, detailed workplan, sampling strategy, analytical framework, and proposed data collection instruments, including questionnaires, focus group discussion guides and key informant interview protocols. The inception report will also identify the key informants to be interviewed in West Bank and Gaza. 2. Conduct a comprehensive desk review of relevant literature, legislative and policy documents and administrative data. 3. Provide a snapshot of the demographic and socio-economic situation of older persons in Palestine –West Bank and Gaza. 4. Design and conduct quantitative and qualitative data collection processes including surveys, focus group discussions, key informant interviews and, where appropriate, interviews with caregivers in West Bank and Gaza. 5. Analyze and triangulate quantitative and qualitative findings and assess the effectiveness, adequacy, accessibility and responsiveness of cash assistance and care services in West Bank and Gaza. 6. Identify policy, institutional and operational gaps affecting programme implementation, coverage, targeting, coordination and service delivery in West Bank and Gaza. 7. Prepare the first draft of the study, including all annexes, references and data tables used in the analysis. 8. Revise the draft report based on comments received from ESCWA and the MoSD. 9. Present the main findings and policy recommendations during technical meetings, validation workshops or consultation sessions, if requested. 10. Coordinate closely with ESCWA and the Ministry throughout the data collection process to ensure methodological consistency, quality assurance and appropriate adaptation of fieldwork modalities to the operational context. 11. The consultant shall ensure full adherence to ethical research standards and compliance with stringent confidentiality and data protection standards.<br> Qualifications/special skills<br>A Masters degree or equivalent degree in Social Policy, Public Policy, Development Studies, Sociology, Economics, Public Health, Statistics, Social Work, or another closely related discipline or related area is required.
