Under the overall supervision of the Portfolio Support Manager, the HR Senior Analyst has a primary focus on the development and management of the retainer aspects of the organisational readiness.
More specifically, the HR Senior Analyst will contribute to the UNOPS organisational readiness by being responsible for (a) analyzing the regional portfolio needs and priorities in terms of retainers, primarily in Infrastructure, Project Management, Procurement and secondarily in Transactional Services and (b) building up/maintaining and managing a pool of retainers to be used primarily by the field offices, in close collaboration with the retainers’ technical supervisors in the HQ practices units.
The retainer profile search, the hiring of the retainers, the post-assignment performance management and the payment functions are being embedded in UNOPS systems, including the UNOPS ERP system, as well as Google environment. While the coordination of the technical aspects of the retainer management tool will be covered by the Media and Communications Analyst, the analytical work of the HR Senior Analyst will contribute to the tool requirements definition and continuous improvements of the tool features; as well as testing the tool features before their release.
S/he will also be part of the hiring process workflow, i.e. receiving the hiring requests to advise on the most appropriate retainer profile for the assignment request received. S/he will ensure that the request goes through smoothly, i.e. is received and addressed by the retainer and the technical supervisor. Last, s/he will ensure that the performance feedback is obtained after each assignment in parallel of, or prior to initiating the payment.
While the overall recruitment process and the contract administration aspects will be managed by the Integrated Practice Advice and Support (IPAS) HR team, an integrated support services and advisory function of UNOPS, the HR Senior Analyst will ensure a coordinating function under the leadership of the Portfolio Support Manager.
The role requires a deep understanding and knowledge of the respective UNOPS HR policy and processes as well as strong analytical skills. The successful candidate should be able to review and analyze CVs and profiles to match the profile of the candidates/retainers to a specific position or assignment, as well as support the shortlisting process when building up/expanding the pool of retainers. S/he will also support the outreach effort in order to build a diverse pool of retainers, also in terms of gender and social inclusion.
Maintaining the highest degree of personal and professional ethics, the HR Senior Analyst promotes a collaborative, service-focused, quality and results-oriented approach in IPS. The HR Business Analyst works in close collaboration with the IPAS HR colleagues to successfully build a retainer pool addressing the needs of the UNOPS Global Portfolio.
