Job Description

Background

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are core principles at UNDP: we value diversity as an expression of the multiplicity of nations and cultures where we operate, foster inclusion to ensure all personnel contribute to our mission, and ensure equity and fairness in all actions. Taking a ‘leave no one behind’ approach means increasing representation of underserved populations. People identifying with marginalized or excluded populations are strongly encouraged to apply.

UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination. All selected candidates will undergo rigorous reference and background checks.

UNDP is the knowledge frontier organization for sustainable development in the UN Development System, serving as the integrator for collective action to realize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). With presence in 170 countries and territories, UNDP helps countries develop strong policies, skills, partnerships, and institutions for sustainable progress.

The Bureau for Management Services, Office of Human Resources (BMS/OHR), is the hub for the global HR function for UNDP, providing strategy, policy setting, guidance, and oversight. BMS/OHR offers a broad range of HR advisory and talent management services, enabling UNDP to deliver integrated development solutions. BMS/OHR is implementing an ambitious strategy, People for 2030, transforming UNDP’s culture for better results.

Building on the achievements of People for 2030, BMS/OHR launches the Partner Personnel Services Agreements (PPSA) to support partner agencies. PPSA is a modality through which UNDP engages and administers non-staff personnel contacts for client UN entities. This aims for centrally managed contracts that are attractive, simple, and flexible.

In this dynamic framework, BMS/OHR seeks HR professionals to develop high-quality HR solutions, drive transformation, and attract new clients across the UN Common System.
