UNICEF's Private Fundraising and Partnerships (PFP) Division is in the process of transitioning from Geneva to Rome. While the division continues to maintain staff outposted to Bangkok, Panama, and New York, as well as personnel in Country Offices supporting partnerships and fundraising, the People and Culture (P&C) function must ensure the delivery of consistent, high-quality Human Resources services to all PFP staff and clients during a period of significant organizational change. PFP is actively supporting the global Future Focus Initiative (FFI), and the relocation to Rome has introduced substantial and complex workforce implications. The division requires continued support for PFP staff relocation to Rome to ensure a smooth transition. Given the changes and the ongoing transition to Rome with the need to maintain uninterrupted P&C operations, PFP requires additional P&C capacity to support staff during this period. The role will contribute to ensuring continuity of People and Culture services, compliance with policy and procedural requirements, and effective support to the division's transformation, application of benefits and entitlement, with specific focus on the transition to Rome and other change management processes.
