Job Summary
An estimated one billion people globally suffer from some form of disability, and yet only one in ten of those are getting access to the assistive technology they need to live healthy, productive, independent, and dignified lives; to participate in education, the labour market and civic life. Furthermore disabilities significantly affect mobile phone access and usage, increasing the magnitude of the digital divide. As more services become ‘digital by default’, there is an increased risk that Persons With Disabilities (PWDs), may be left behind if technology products and services are not made accessible and affordable to all.The Assistive Tech programme, seeks to transform access to life changing assistive technology (AT). Our mission is to drive greater inclusion of PWDs through access and use of mobile technologies, this includes providing critical insights and evidence on the global role mobile could play as an assistive technology across regions and sectors, promoting accessibility of services as well as championing the inclusion of PWDs in digital ecosystems.
Responsibilities
The Assistive Tech programme is seeking a Market Engagement Manager to support the growth of the programme, with the ultimate objective of building our position as thought leaders in the disability and digital space.
As part of a small team, you will also contribute towards shaping the overall strategic direction / course correction of the GSMA work on disability, to ensure that the programme achieves its goal of driving PWDs inclusion, but also delivers value to the mobile industry and other stakeholders.
