Professional (P) and Director-level (D) staff

Job Overview

UNFPA uses the personnel categories employed across the United Nations (UN) system. Within each category, there are different levels, which reflect increasing levels of responsibilities and requirements. P and D positions include a variety of jobs that require strong analytical and communication skills, substantial experience and, often, solid leadership ability. Professional positions range from programme specialists and operations experts to communications specialists, information systems professionals, and many others. Directors represent the highest level of UNFPA's career staffing structure. As a director, you’re expected to manage a team, determine priorities and allocate resources for an entire office or unit.

How to Apply

International recruitment: Personnel in the P and D categories are normally internationally recruited, meaning that they are hired to work at an office (duty station) outside of their home country. You can expect to serve at different duty stations around the world over the course of your career. For headquarters and regional office posts, all nationalities are welcome to apply.
