Procurement Group (PG) is based at UNOPS HQ in Copenhagen. It leads the organization’s procurement practice and is responsible for: articulating strategy, policy positions and innovative solutions for procurement at UNOPS; enabling the operationalization and managerial oversight of UNOPS procurement activities through appropriate systems and reports; strengthening the knowledge, skills and career development of procurement practitioners; and leading the implementation of Sustainable Procurement across the organization.
UNOPS emphasizes efficient, transparent, cost-effective and sustainable delivery of goods, services and works, in line with public procurement best practices. On a yearly basis, UNOPS procures approx. USD 1 Bn worth of goods, services and works on behalf of our partners. These include a broad base of categories, including life-saving pharmaceuticals, mine action equipment, vehicles or road construction services. Procurement is decentralized, with approx. 90% done outside HQ in Copenhagen through a global supplier base of +5,000 different vendors / suppliers from +90 countries.
The Procurement Senior Analyst - Supply Chain Risk will be part of the team continuing the development, implementation and expansion of the UNOPS Delivering Responsibility in Vendor Engagement (DRiVE) programme. The overall scope of DRiVE is to ensure that UNOPS vendors operate responsibly and in accordance with high standards of integrity. This is done through a vendor assessment, inspection and corrective action-planning programme, with a particular focus on the associated areas related to human rights, labour rights, ethical conduct, health & safety, sexual exploitation and abuse and environmental responsibility.
DRiVE is part of the Sustainable Procurement team at PG which is responsible for developing and implementing sustainable procurement practices within UNOPS.
The role requires some understanding of procurement and supply chain inspections. In addition, as most suppliers are located outside Denmark, the role includes a possibility for international travel. Travel requirements are estimated at approximately 10-15% of the time after the first 12 months.
