About the Role

The Company is seeking a Senior Advisor on Geospatial Information to play a pivotal role in advancing the global geospatial information management agenda. The successful candidate will be responsible for providing leadership and substantive supervision in the establishment and operationalization of global geospatial centers. This includes strengthening global coordination and governance arrangements, advising on the establishment of a United Nations office away from headquarters, and ensuring the integration of geospatial information in support of the 2030 Agenda and other policy agendas. The role also involves representing the Director at various meetings, contributing to the preparation of position papers and reports, and collaborating with management to prioritize geospatial information needs. Applicants must have an advanced degree in a relevant field or a first-level degree with additional qualifying experience, and a minimum of 10 years' experience in geospatial information management or a related area. A strong background in intergovernmental mechanisms and processes, particularly in the context of the United Nations, is essential. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in negotiating, preparing, and operationalizing global geospatial information centers. Professionalism, accountability, client orientation, and the ability to build trust are key competencies for this role. Fluency in English is required, and knowledge of another UN official language is an advantage. The position is project-funded and temporary, with the possibility of extension.
