Org. Setting and Reporting
This position is located in the Communications and Results Reporting Section (CRRS) of the United Nations Development Coordination Office (UN DCO) Headquarters in New York.
In its Resolution A/RES/72/279, the United Nations General Assembly endorsed the transformation of the UN Development Coordination Office (UNDCO) as a stand-alone coordination office within the United Nations Secretariat. The new DCO assumes managerial and oversight functions of the resident coordinator system under the collective ownership of the members of the United Nations Sustainable Development Group (UNSDG).
Background and context:
We are seeking to build additional capacity to generate content and tell the story of the work of the Resident Coordinator System (RCS) and how UN teams on the ground are mobilising to support governments and local partners, in ensuring that countries accelerate progress towards the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.
The incumbent will work in the editorial team at DCO to plan, pitch, draft/edit stories for publication on the DCO corporate website and beyond; and will also serve as focal point for the technical development and maintenance requests of the platform.
The incumbent reports to the Communications Digital Strategist and is under the overall supervision of the Chief of the Communications and Results Reporting Section.
