The United
Nations Department of Operational Support, Office of Supply Chain Management,
UMOJA Coordination Service (UN DOS/OSCM/UCS) is responsible for implementing
Supply Chain Management in support of the Departments of Peacekeeping
Operations and Operational Support (DPO/DOS) missions as well as Special
Political Missions (SPMs).
UCS plays an
integral role in the global operations of the field missions. It is one of the
fundamental infrastructure components that support the substantive work and the
delivery of peacekeeping and special political missions’ mandates. Efficient
and reliable logistics support is a core strategic, operational and tactical
pillar of field missions and the United Nations at large. Therefore, ensuring
that a robust and fault-tolerant supply chain infrastructure is in place to
sustain operations is a necessary and permanent consideration.
The division
is currently implementing an ‘end-to-end’ integrated supply chain management
with a view to achieving DOS vision of a well-managed and agile supply chain to
support United Nations field missions with effectiveness and efficiency. The
overall supply chain management process starts and ends with
clients-development and management of consolidated demand/requirements of all
clients and fulfillment of client’s requirements through strategic sourcing and
delivery. The process is enabled by a robust performance management framework
and supported by solution such as Umoja.
Umoja is the
project approved by the General Assembly resolution 63/262 that aims at the
transformation of the United Nations Secretariat by enabling high-quality,
cost-effective service delivery to support the execution of evolving mandates
everywhere the Organization operates.
Umoja, which
means "unity" in Swahili, will unite the many support and
administrative entities throughout the Secretariat, including in peacekeeping
and field missions, through re-designed and common processes for the management
of all financial, human and physical resources; a single integrated information
system; and training of staff. The incumbent will be supporting project
operations by managing a range of administrative tasks.
UNOPS has been
requested to assist in the implementation of this activity for DOS/OSCM/UCS.
The
Project Management Support- Senior Officer carries out his/her tasks within the
DOS/OSCM/ Umoja Coordination Service (UCS) Master Data Management (MDM) team.
The MDM team provides data services to support United Nations Umoja projects
and master data management. The incumbent reports to the MDM team lead.
The Project
Management Support- Senior Officer manages delivery of MDM and project tasks,
performs data management activities and supports Umoja UE2 projects.
