UNOPS is looking for a new colleague
to join our Partnerships Group (PLG), to expand our network with Washington
DC-based partners and support UNOPS partnerships strategies to expand our
global portfolios. We’re looking for an excellent networker who can build on
and develop our existing partnership with the World Bank and the US Government.
The ideal candidate has a good understanding of the Washington development
landscape, including demonstrated experience working with DC-based partners in HQ
and the field, as well as outstanding networking and communication skills. This
role offers a demanding and exciting opportunity to contribute to UNOPS global
partnerships team.
As part of the Partnerships Group, the UNOPS Washington
Liaison Office (WLO), aims to bring the organization closer to key global
partners based in the Washington DC area, with a focus on the World Bank (WB),
United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the US Department
of State (DoS), the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), and the
Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). The WLO seeks to link UNOPS strategic
solutions to partner delivery challenges with a view of improving their
client’s performance related to project management, infrastructure,
procurement, and organizational maturity.
The Partnerships Group (PLG)
supports UNOPS efforts to build closer ties with partners across the full
spectrum of UNOPS activities. By forging strategic relationships and working
with partners, both in the field and at headquarters, PLG seeks to not only
ensure high partners satisfaction with UNOPS project implementation and
support, but also to integrate best practices and innovative solutions from
experienced non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and the private sector into
UNOPS operations. Based in Copenhagen, PLG has active liaison offices in New York,
Geneva, Brussels, Washington DC, and Nairobi and supports partners such as the
World Bank, USAID, the European Union, UNEP, the Global Fund, the Millennium
Challenge Corporation, and others.
