Office/Unit/Project Description
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is a global organization with more than 20,000 personnel working in approximately 170 offices globally. UNDP works in development and crisis settings with the aim to achieve the eradication of poverty, reduction of inequalities and exclusion, and sustained development results.
Drawing on the diversity of UNDP’s client needs and partnerships, the Office of Human Resources (OHR) in the Bureau for Management Services is focused on the implementation of an ambitious and forward-looking three-year strategy, People for 2030, which will progressively
transform UNDP’s culture and enable its workforce capacity to deliver more and better results.
One of the central elements of UNDP’s promise as an employer is that working with UNDP is not just a job, but part of a rewarding and enriching career in which individuals have opportunities to grow and develop. The expected outcome of the focus area 6 of the People for 2030 strategy “Creating a rewarding career experience” is to ensure that by 2025, people in UNDP are effectively engaged and supported in managing their careers, with career paths aligned to UNDP’s priorities and business model.

The selected incumbent will hold a critical role in supporting programmes and initiatives aiming to support and enable rewarding career experiences at UNDP, where all personnel have an opportunity to grow professionally and personally, build new knowledge, skills and experiences, and be able to develop their careers. In addition to other initiatives, the Career Development Analyst will support the UNDP Global Mentoring programme, the Virtual Development Assignment Programme (VDAP) and the SPARK programme, a formal career development programme.
