Organisational context
United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the development arm of the United Nations. Present in 170 countries with over 17,000 people, UNDP works on the world’s biggest problems: extreme poverty, climate change, good governance, renewable energy, crisis prevention, and women’s empowerment, among others.
We are leveraging the power of digital to propel all people forward, starting with digital initiative development, scaling innovation, and communicating this organizational change internally and externally. To achieve this, we need a team that’s nimble, passionate, and has the technical skills required to help close the digital divide. Emerging digital technologies can profoundly improve the lives of those furthest behind. Recognizing this potential, UNDP launched an organization-wide digital transformation. UNDP’s 2019-2021 Digital Strategy has led to the creation of a new Chief Digital Office (CDO), charged with leading the next wave of innovation in sustainable development. The CDO exists within UNDP to help governments and active parties around the world to create the role of moral purpose for digital innovation and fulfil it. The office exists to empower them with pioneering solutions and practices that can be scaled and replicated, and to change how we innovate in a connected age.
III. Position Purpose
Specific functions in support of the Chief Digital Office team include:
External partners are key to amplifying this multiplier effect. The CDO has been strategically identifying and engaging with the right partners to support and enhance the UNDP’s digital transformation work, in accordance with the new Digital Strategy and Strategic Plan.
The Chief Digital Office seeks a JPO to assist the team. The JPO will play a key role in supporting the Chief Digital Officer, as well as developing and executing strategies for engaging with multilateral organizations and member states. This effort aims to strengthen CDO’s strategic positioning and foster partnerships and collaborations that support the UNDP’s digital transformation goals.
