Please note that the scope of this role is substantially different from the previously advertised under the name of “Director, Procurement Group”.

UNOPS is an operational arm of the
United Nations, supporting the successful implementation of its partners’
peacebuilding, humanitarian and development projects around the world. Our
mission is to help people build better lives and countries achieve sustainable
development.
