Senior Policy Support Assistant

Vor 3 Tagen

Wien, Österreich OSCE Vollzeit

**Background**:
The OSCE has a comprehensive approach to security that encompasses politico-military, economic and environmental, and human aspects. It therefore addresses a wide range of security-related concerns, including arms control, confidence
- and security-building measures, human rights, combating human trafficking, national minorities, democratization, policing strategies, counter-terrorism and economic and environmental activities. All 57 participating States enjoy equal status, and decisions are taken by consensus on a politically, but not legally binding basis.

The OSCE Secretariat in Vienna assists the Chairpersonship in its activities, and provides operational and administrative support to the field operations, and, as appropriate, to other institutions.

The Conflict Prevention Centre (CPC) plays a key role in supporting and co-ordinating the OSCE's activities in the field, in providing analysis and policy advice to the Secretary General (SG) and the Chairpersonship, in leading work on all aspects of the conflict cycle, and in supporting the various formats dealing with protracted conflicts. The CPC also serves as the focal point in the Secretariat for co-ordinating and developing the OSCE's role in the politico-military dimension.

The Policy Support Service (PSS) serves as the Organization's primary point of contact on all matters concerning field operations; it monitors the implementation of the mandates of the individual field operations and advises the SG and the Chairpersonship on related policy and operational issues. It also analyses early-warning signals regarding the situation in the field and recommends the implementation of relevant preventive or reactive action. Support provided to the SG and the Chairpersonship includes background information, policy support and advice, input to speeches and travel files as well as drafting summary records. PSS facilitates the co-ordination of programmes and activities among field operations and with those of OSCE specialized units within the Secretariat and institutions and assists field operations with their input to the budget cycle process. PSS also provides support for the Chairperson-in-Office's representatives dealing with protracted conflicts and related formats.

The PSS is composed of four regional desks covering Eastern Europe, South-Eastern Europe, the South Caucasus and Central Asia.

**Tasks and Responsibilities**:
The incumbent will be one of three Senior Policy Support Assistants. Under the overall supervision of the Deputy Director for Policy Support Service, he/she will be responsible for providing substantive assistance to the regional desks on a range of matters, more specifically:
Ensuring the effective flow of information between headquarters and the field;
Formatting, proof-reading and providing comments on final drafts of English-language reports of field operations before processing them for distribution to delegations;
Attending Permanent Council meetings and other ad hoc meetings related to assigned field operations and writing summaries, notes and reports for distribution;

Conducting research on OSCE-related topics and compiling and co-ordinating input to various OSCE documents;
Maintaining relevant document databases
Contributing to other CPC-related tasks, or projects, as required, and performing other related duties, such as participating in CPC-related events.

Minimum of six years of relevant work experience in an international environment;
