UNOPS supports partners to build a better future by providing services that increase the efficiency, effectiveness and sustainability of peace building, humanitarian and development projects.  Mandated as a central resource of the United Nations, UNOPS provides sustainable project management, procurement and infrastructure services to a wide range of governments, donors and United Nations organizations. The New York Portfolios Office (NYPO) supports the United Nations Secretariat, as well as other New York-based United Nations organizations, bilateral and multilateral partners in the delivery of the UNOPS mandate in project management, infrastructure management, and procurement management.

The Sustainable Development Cluster (SDC) supports diverse partners with their peacebuilding, humanitarian and development operations. It was formed by combining the following portfolios: Grants Management Services, UN Technology Support Services (UNTSS), and the Development and Special Initiatives Portfolio.  It provides services to partners' programmes that are designed, structured, and managed with a global perspective and primarily serving partners that are headquartered in New York.  SDC has a footprint of approximately 125 countries. 

UNOPS has signed an agreement with the United Nations to implement defined activities in support of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) helps the international humanitarian community coordinate its response to humanitarian emergencies all over the world. Within OCHA, the Assessment, Planning and Monitoring Branch (APMB) is responsible for helping OCHA’s network of country offices and humanitarian partners to implement the humanitarian programme cycle (HPC). APMB, in partnership with OCHA’s Information Management Branch (IMB) is engaged in a multi-year project to build, maintain and improve the suite of online information management tools/systems and that support the HPC, collectively called HPC.tools. This includes data management applications for project submission and review, monitoring and evaluation of humanitarian response, and financial tracking, amongst others. These applications are developed on a Javascript/Typescript stack using PostgreSQL, Node.js, Angular and React, and provide data to a public API and the project’s two Drupal websites: the Financial Tracking Service (fts.unocha.org) and Humanitarian Action (humanitarianaction.info).

The position is remote (home-based), and reports to the Senior Full-Stack Javascript Developer/Team Lead in APMB’s Monitoring and Tools Section (MATS), working collaboratively with colleagues in OCHA Headquarters locations, as well as other developers working on this and other OCHA projects.
