**Vacancy Announcement**

**Organizational Context**

The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) is the specialized agency of the United Nations that promotes industrial development for poverty reduction, inclusive globalization and environmental sustainability. The mission of UNIDO, as described in the Lima Declaration adopted at the fifteenth session of the UNIDO General Conference in 2013 as well as the Abu Dhabi Declaration adopted at the eighteenth session of UNIDO General Conference in 2019, is to promote and accelerate inclusive and sustainable industrial development (ISID) in Member States. The relevance of ISID as an integrated approach to all three pillars of sustainable development is recognized by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which will frame United Nations and country efforts towards sustainable development. UNIDO’s mandate is fully recognized in SDG-9, which calls to “Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation”. The relevance of ISID, however, applies in greater or lesser extent to all SDGs. Accordingly, the Organization’s programmatic focus is structured in four strategic priorities: Creating shared prosperity; Advancing economic competitiveness; Safeguarding the environment; and Strengthening knowledge and institutions.

Each of these programmatic fields of activity contains a number of individual programmes, which are implemented in a holistic manner to achieve effective outcomes and impacts through UNIDO’s four enabling functions: (i) technical cooperation; (ii) analytical and research functions and policy advisory services; (iii) normative functions and standards and quality-related activities; and (iv) convening and partnerships for knowledge transfer, networking and industrial cooperation. Such core functions are carried out in Divisions/Offices in its Headquarters, Regional Offices and Hubs and Country Offices.

The Directorate of SDG Innovation and Economic Transformation (IET) is responsible for the development of innovative UNIDO services in the areas of agro-industry and agribusiness, sustainability standards and fair production, and climate-relevant or climate-improving technologies. It is also, in collaboration with ODG, responsible for developing innovative cooperation concepts, identifying new sources and means of innovative finance and entering into new partnerships with a broad range of relevant stakeholders.

The position is located in the Office of the Managing Director (OMD) to position UNIDO as a key partner for responsible and green minerals along the value chain and in the development of a UNIDO sustainability seal and certification system.

At the L6 level, the incumbent is expected to deliver (a) work that is integral to UNIDO's mandate; (b) in creating an enabling environment which is catalytic, gap-building and opportunistic; (c) in building partnerships and networks to strengthen Programmes; and (d) in achieving results within Cross Programme or Inter-Services teams. The measure of success is Programme Competence.

The UNIDO Staff Performance Management System reinforces the collaboration within formal units as well as among cross-functional teams. In this context, the incumbent collaborates with his/her supervisor and colleagues, within as well as outside the unit. Within the formal teams, the incumbent may be expected to backstop other team members as required.
- **Project/Programme Context**

The Task Force “Global Alliance and UNIDO Sustainability Seal” acts as the Secretariat of the Global Alliance for Responsible and Green Minerals” to position UNIDO as key partner for responsible and green minerals along the value chain and in the development of a UNIDO sustainability seal and certification system.

The Global Alliance aims to provide the participating members with relevant knowledge and capacity for a sustainable minerals’ future. The Alliance will promote a common understanding of the goals and principles for sustainable development in the critical minerals supply chains, offer support for their implementation and work on a global framework for just and inclusive transformation of the extractive industries in conjunction with the energy and digital transitions.

In its second function, the Task Force is responsible for the development of a UNIDO sustainability seal and certification system, based on the UN Principles for Business and Human Rights and corresponding international agreements. In close alignment with already existing standa
