**Contract type**: Consultant
**Duty Station**: Geneva
**Level**: Consultancy
**Location**: Switzerland
**Categories**: Communication, Partnerships, Fund Raising

UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.

Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.

And we never give up.

**For every child, a champion**

UNICEF is a global leader in advocating for the rights and wellbeing of every child, and it relies heavily on its dedicated staff and partnerships to achieve its mission. The Private Fundraising and Partnerships (PFP) division, based in Geneva, is responsible for private-sector fundraising, engagement, and partnerships, playing a crucial role in generating resources to support UNICEF’s work.

To enhance the efficiency, retention, and career development of its staff, UNICEF Geneva aims to improve and formalize the career development pathways within PFP and other related Divisions, specifically the Division of Global Communication and Advocacy (DGCA), Public Partnerships Division (PPD) and Generation Unlimited (Gen U). These four Divisions collectively form the Partnership Cone, which coordinates fundraising, advocacy, and public-private partnerships to support UNICEF’s goals.

As part of UNICEF’s ongoing efforts to support staff development and build a more effective organization, a comprehensive approach to career path development within the Partnership Cone is critical. Therefore, UNICEF is seeking a consultant to conduct research and propose structured career paths, helping align staff growth with organizational needs and long-term goals.

**Purpose and objective**
- The main objective of this consultancy is to ensure a structured approach to developing career pathways within UNICEF’s Partnership Cone. This role is to research, design, and propose career paths for staff within the UNICEF PFP, DGCA, PPD and Gen U units, and their related other HQ, Regional Office, and Country Offices. The consultant will conduct a comprehensive analysis of the current career structures, identify existing gaps, benchmark best practices both within UNICEF and across similar organizations, and deliver actionable recommendations.
- This project aims to improve career mobility, provide clear developmental pathways, and ensure talent retention by offering structured progression opportunities within the Partnership Cone.
- The overarching goal is to cultivate and sustain a versatile, highly skilled, and motivated workforce throughout the organization and ensure the effective deployment of high-caliber talent to deliver better results for children, aligning with UNICEF's overarching goals and future agendas.

**How can you make a difference?**

Scope of Work:
Reporting to the Chief HR, the Consultant will be responsible for the following key activities:
1. Research and Analysis
- Conduct a comprehensive review of the existing career structures within PFP, DGCA, PPD, and Gen U.
- Interview key stakeholders across the Partnership Cone to identify challenges, opportunities, and aspirations related to career progression.
- Benchmark career development best practices within other UN agencies, international organizations, and the private sector, focusing on organizations with similar roles (fundraising, partnerships, and advocacy).
- Identify current career progression gaps and barriers, such as skill gaps, role limitations, and mobility issues, within the Partnership Cone.

2. Career Path Development
- Develop clear, structured career paths for key roles within PFP, DGCA, and PPD, focusing on vertical mobility (promotions), horizontal mobility (lateral moves within or between divisions), and skills development.
- Propose detailed job families, career levels, and corresponding competencies required for progression.
- Identify opportunities for cross-functional moves within the Partnership Cone, enhancing collaboration and skill diversification among staff.

3. Recommendations for Implementation
- Provide recommendations for implementing the proposed career paths, including necessary changes to HR processes and policies, training programs, and mentorship initiatives.
- Outline strategies to ensure career paths are inclusive, addressing the needs of both existing staff and new hires at different career stages (e.g., entry-level, mid-career, and senior roles).
- Develop a monitoring and evaluation framework to track the effectiveness of the proposed career paths in improving staff satisfaction and organizational efficiency.
- 4. **Partnership Cone Project support** - Support ongoing work on the Partnership cone project related to Talent Management and Career Path.
