For every child, protection
The Division of Data, Analytics, Planning and Monitoring (DAPM) was established in 2019 to drive decision-making and organizational learning, improve the effectiveness and achievement of results of UNICEF and its partners to realize the rights and improve the life of every child. DAPM promotes the use of data and monitoring to achieve a transformative impact on the lives of children.
The Division is responsible for driving, shaping and guiding UNICEF's evidence-informed analysis, strategic planning, programme monitoring and organizational performance management. As such, DAPM enables the organization to deliver results in a more coherent manner, based on agile and contextualized programming processes, on data, evidence, and analysis, as well as the application of human-rights based and results-based management approaches.
Within DAPM, the data portfolio is managed by two sections: the Data & Analytics Team, led by the Chief Statistician, and the Chief Data Office, led by the Chief Data Officer.
The Chief Statistician's Office focuses on analyzing data on children to support UNICEF programming and advocacy. It also produces and maintains a number of data-related global public goods, such as a global monitoring database of child-related indicators and methodological standards and guidelines to help countries report on a number of child-related SDGs and other indicators. The Chief Statistician office collaborates with all UNICEF divisions and through regional offices to support and sustain the data and analytics capacity at the country offices by providing technical assistance, advocacy and partnerships on data-analytics for children.
The Office of the Chief Data Officer collaborates with all UNICEF divisions and through regional offices to country offices to help UNICEF create and sustain (1) Establish safeguards to minimize risks and potential harms to children, UNICEF staff, beneficiaries, and donors associated with data and digital technology, ensuring a responsible and safe digital and data transformation. (2) Implement robust governance of all forms of data at UNICEF, enabling the organization to leverage relevant data for better decision-making and outcomes for children.
The Data Governance and Strategy unit in the Chief Data Office is hiring a Data Protection Specialist (Governance), a pivotal role to enable a safe digital and data transformation of UNICEF and its partners.
In 2020, UNICEF issued a Policy for Personal Data Protection (the "Policy") which applies to any personal data processing by or on behalf of UNICEF. This involves the data of the children who UNICEF serves, its staff, its individual donors, and others. The goal of the policy is to ensure that UNICEF uses personal data in line with individual's rights and freedoms and without exposing them to inappropriate risks. To reach that purpose, the policy requires robust risk and compliance structures to ensure responsible use of data and technology in respect of children's, donors', and staff's fundamental human rights, including the right to privacy. In addition, it needs a cultural transformation leading to the empowerment of individuals to better control their data, the understanding of privacy and its importance in the digital age, and overall: that data protection is about the people (behind the data)!
Purpose for the job:
To support offices and divisions with the implementation of the Policy, the Data Governance and Strategy unit is centrally developing a data protection programme, namely a normative framework, guidance, tools, central registries and training/awareness, to enable the organization to process personal data in compliance with the Policy and in respect of individuals' rights to privacy. The incumbent will design and support the roll-out of the UNICEF data protection programme with strong experience in the development of normative and governance frameworks (e.g., for monitoring and compliance purposes) including the development of regulatory instruments such as policies and procedures.
The incumbent will work closely with a data protection specialist providing support to UNICEF country offices on the implementation of the policy, a data protection specialist working at the intersection of data protection, technology, and cybersecurity. The data protection programme is overseen by the Data Protection and Privacy Manager (Data Protection Programme Lead).
Together, this group will, in addition to the design and roll-out of the data protection programme, provide technical support to offices and divisions with respect to all non-legal data protection matters. Engagement with UNICEF divisions including the Legal Office, the Information and Communication Technology Division, Programme Group, Emergency Operations, and other sections of DAPM will be a core component of this role.
The incumbent will be supported by the wider Data Governance and Strategy unit, working on data capacity building, a data strategy and data governance for UNICEF, and advocacy for data governance fit for children in our work with partners and beyond including in the cross-sectoral integration of country administrative data and information management systems.

Familiarize yourself with our competency framework and its different levels.
UNICEF is here to serve the world's most disadvantaged children and our global workforce must reflect the diversity of those children. The UNICEF family is committed to include everyone, irrespective of their race/ethnicity, age, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, nationality, socio-economic background, or any other personal characteristic.
We offer a wide range of measures to include a more diverse workforce, such as paid parental leave, time off for breastfeeding purposes, and reasonable accommodation for persons with disabilities. UNICEF strongly encourages the use of flexible working arrangements.
UNICEF does not hire candidates who are married to children (persons under 18). UNICEF has a zero-tolerance policy on conduct that is incompatible with the aims and objectives of the United Nations and UNICEF, including sexual exploitation and abuse, sexual harassment, abuse of authority, and discrimination. UNICEF is committed to promoting the protection and safeguarding of all children. All selected candidates will undergo rigorous reference and background checks and will be expected to adhere to these standards and principles. Background checks will include the verification of academic credential(s) and employment history. Selected candidates may be required to provide additional information to conduct a background check.
UNICEF appointments are subject to medical clearance. Issuance of a visa by the host country of the duty station is required for IP positions and will be facilitated by UNICEF. Appointments may also be subject to inoculation (vaccination) requirements, including against SARS-CoV-2 (Covid). Should you be selected for a position with UNICEF, you either must be inoculated as required or receive a medical exemption from the relevant department of the UN. Otherwise, the selection will be canceled.
Remarks:
As per Article 101, paragraph 3, of the Charter of the United Nations, the paramount consideration in the employment of the staff is the necessity of securing the highest standards of efficiency, competence, and integrity.
Government employees who are considered for employment with UNICEF are normally required to resign from their government positions before taking up an assignment with UNICEF. UNICEF reserves the right to withdraw an offer of appointment, without compensation, if a visa or medical clearance is not obtained, or necessary inoculation requirements are not met, within a reasonable period for any reason.
UNICEF does not charge a processing fee at any stage of its recruitment, selection, and hiring processes (i.e., application stage, interview stage, validation stage, or appointment and training). UNICEF will not ask for applicants' bank account information.
In this role, you will collaborate with colleagues across multiple locations. For effective collaboration, we encourage flexible working hours that accommodate different time zones while prioritizing staff wellbeing.
Mobility is a condition of international professional employment with UNICEF and an underlying premise of the international civil service.
All UNICEF positions are advertised, and only shortlisted candidates will be contacted and advance to the next stage of the selection process. An internal candidate performing at the level of the post in the relevant functional area, or an internal/external candidate in the corresponding Talent Group, may be selected, if suitable for the post, without assessment of other candidates.
