Thailand Operations Hub (THOH) is a UNOPS business unit under the UNOPS
Asia Regional Office and it was established to better support, develop and
oversee the UNOPS portfolio of projects in South East Asia and the Pacific.
The Hub comprises three main portfolios
–THOH Thailand, THOH Indonesia and THOH Pacific and provides a wide range of
services including Project Management, Transactional HR, Financial, and
Procurement to clients that include other UN entities, INGOs and
governments/government agencies donors. Most of THOH projects are implemented
in South East Asia and the Pacific.
In response to the recent developments in the THOH
projects portfolio and in line with the THOH business strategy for 2018-2021, THOH
has established a Project Management Office (PMO). The Project
Management Office (PMO) is a section under the Programme unit and its main role
is to provide THOH with the structures, tools and techniques needed to ensure
that THOH has the right programmes and projects in place, that operational and
change priorities are balanced, the programme/project governance and decision
making is facilitated and it has the resources and capability to deliver them
consistently well.
The functions and services of the
PMO include:
- Strategic
Planning/Portfolio Support: Ensuring UNOPS is focused on doing the right
projects by supporting management decision-making.
- Delivery
Support: Ensuring UNOPS is doing projects the right way, through the effective
delivery of the programme and projects.
- Best Practices:
Applying UNOPS standards in project management, encouraging consistent working
practices and ensuring appropriate application.
THOH is thus looking for a project
management expert to head the newly established Project Management Office (PMO).
The primary role of the incumbent is to ensure that project management
policies, processes and methods are followed and practiced according to the
organization standards, while acting as the overall Project Assurance capacity
within the business unit on behalf of the Director and Representative
(Executive). The incumbent actively contributes to moving the THOH toward
achieving its mission-focused goals and objectives.
