This position is located within the Common Administrative Platform at United Nations Headquarters, referred to as the One Executive Office ("One EO"), under the Division of Administration in the Department of Operational Support (DOS). One EO started its transition phase on 1 January 2026 as part of the UN80 reform initiative, which aims to consolidate common administrative functions across Secretariat entities into unified service platforms. The Department of Operational Support (DOS) was established to provide end-to-end operational support, advisory services and other solutions to operating entities across the Secretariat, including departments, offices away from headquarters, peace operations, and regional commissions. The Division of Administration in New York provides administrative support functions (human resources, budget, finance and general administration) and facility management and commercial services to entities at United Nations Headquarters. It also provides financial operational services to entities across the globe. As Common Administrative Platform, the Division comprises the OneEO, the Financial Operations Service (including OnePayroll), and the Facilities and Commercial Activities Service. OneEO provides the full range of administrative and operational services required by New York–based Secretariat client entities to fulfil their mandates, including human resources management, financial administration, travel, and general administrative support, while adhering to the delegation of authority framework and ensuring compliance with established regulations, rules, policies, guidelines and procedures. The Human Resources team and its workload are organized across three pillars: Pillar 1 supports DPPA and the special political missions; Pillar 2 supports DPO; and Pillar 3 supports OCT, ODA and CTED. Each pillar is supported by a Human Resources Officer, a Senior Human Resources Assistant and an HR partner. The Human Resources Assistant will serve as the HR partner supporting OCT, ODA and CTED under Pillar 3 and will report directly to the Human Resources Officer.
