P3 & P4 | Security Coordinators
Security Coordinators handle a range of responsibilities and functions. They are responsible for analysing security risks, planning, developing, monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of security measures. This may include analysing threat information, undertaking risk assessments and developing risk management measures. This requires collaborating closely with colleagues and many different stakeholders, supervising staff, thus requiring excellent interpersonal and relationship-building skills. At P3 level, you will need several years of relevant professional experience and a degree-level education to join us, whilst P4 positions require more extensive experience plus some exposure to management roles. |
P5 | Chief Security Adviser
Chief Security Advisers provide close support to the highest-ranking UN Official and to the representatives of UN organizations who are part of the Security Management Team. Operating at a strategic level, you will lead a security team, manage relationships with local authorities whilst overseeing all security programmes and initiatives, mainly in complex environments. Equally importantly, you will work in collaboration with a large number of stakeholders within and outside of the security area. You will assume responsibility for managing human resources, budgets, training and communications. Naturally, these roles demand extensive professional experience at a senior level with exposure to leadership experience, and a degree-level education. |
